Like the rest of New Zealand we were thrown by the recent COVID-19
lockdown, but we’re now offering activities in the LILAC Lounge, with
the final Lesbian Herstory Month event this Wednesday. We’re mindful
that the LILAC Lounge is a small space and we need to limit numbers at
alert level 2. To help us with our planning, please RSVP for each event
you plan to attend – numbers in the room will be limited if we are still
at Level 2.
Wednesday 27 October – Lesbian representation in sport
There’s
been a huge softening in approach and acceptance of women in many
sports… but what about lesbian women? Come and hear from lesbians who
have been active and out in the sports field talk about their battles
and triumphs. Softball, cricket, hockey, basketball and more. And in the
spirit of competition, be prepared for a fun quick quiz to top off a
fascinating evening.
6.30pm start, and koha entry. Refreshments available from 6pm.
