Here is 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 specifically designated as a Newcomers' meeting. On these occasions we will be discussing topics relevant to people who have not been to a bisexual group before.
