London Bisexual Group Programme

This was the programme for the Discussion Group at LBG September 2000 to January 2001. 

LBG meetings run from 8 to 10pm. The Discussion Group starts at 9pm, except on video nights when it starts at 8.30pm. Newcomers are welcome at any meeting of LBG, however the first meeting in each month is designated as a Newcomers' meeting, if necessary, when we can discuss topics relevant to people who have not been to a bisexual group before.

A programme suitable for printing may be found here.
