Board Games social group

This social group follows the 'pot luck' tradition of getting together at lesbian's homes on a regular (once monthly) basis but rather than be oriented around food (though there will be some to share!), they focus on Board/Card/DVD games that can be shared and played amongst friends. . Email dykegames@live.com for more information. Come join us!

Dancing at The Pines in 2009

Sat 25^th July 8.30pm to 1am at the Pines, Houghton Bay
$15 waged / $12 low-waged buys you a night of dancing at a superb venue, with a great supper, a full bar service, good music, and lots of room for dancing and talking.

More dances: 19 Sept.
The delay in starting dances this year is due to The Pines being booked out for weddings.

Dinner group for single lesbians

Friendly monthly dinners are held in the Wellington region for single lesbians. Sometimes this is a potluck at someone's home, and sometimes we dine out at a restaurant. If it's in a home, we all bring a plate of food to share, and something to drink. The purpose of this group is for companionship and meeting new people. Friendly and no pressures; not a dating group.
Next dinner: Saturday 25^th July
To find out more please contact Brendy brendy.w@paradise.net.nz
