I write this blog entry in a whirl of cheerfulness, having just returned from the second film in the Sun and Doves’ Pink November season: But I’m a Cheerleader. Rarely do you find such a very happy gay film, and we were quite delighted (and relieved!) to find that we were not alone in the anticipation of gayness in all senses of the word: the place was mobbed! Settling down with our free popcorn, we bumped into several  Camberwell friends who were rather pleased that their neighborhood has turned so very gay. Looking around, we were impressed to find at least 35 audience members watching the film, and very gleeful indeed when the main character’s proclamation of love caused the audience to burst into spontaneous applause. Chatting to our friends, we realised that our dream had come true: here were boys who might be tempted into attending the Friday night gay naturist swimming evening at Camberwell Leisure Centre. Dear reader, watch this space for a review...

Hi Layla,

Great to meet and talk to you guys last night, I was the girl in the wooly hat squealing with joy every time Clea Duvall and Natasha Lyonne kissed. Had a wonderful time, the site I mentioned is www.poppycockney.com; I previewed the night on Monday and will be doing a write-up next week. Good luck with the rest of the events, hopefully see you at a couple of them! Jx

After two years, we're about to leave Camberwell. Good to see your effort here but we'd still likely choose to leave despite a chance to hook up with other gay refugees. Yes there are some gems in the hood but overall, it's a sh*t hole and we are counting the days. Good luck!

Shame to hear you're not so enamoured of Camberwell, GayExCamberwell. Though to be fair, the gems of the area are multiplying, and the enthusiasm of venues for hosting Gay Camberwell events has been quite impressive... both for the launch month, and planning for regular gay events throughout the year. Hope you pop back to enjoy some of them. Bet you'll miss the joys of SE5 when you leave!
