UK Meet - not all bling and stuff...

Lovely write up of UK Meet by the lovely Jenre. That's me almost hiding in the picture.

One of the things I like best about UK Meet is that we look out as well as in. The last three years we've done fundraising for Albert Kennedy Trust, raising around £800, and this year the lovely Darren Batey from AKT came along and told us what they use the money for. But there were some lovely extras for 2013: a display or children's books with LGBTQ themes, which we cooed over, and a help-yourself display of material Stonewall had sent us, including the lovely "Happy Fathers' Day" cards featuring two dads.

Now, how can we better that in 2014...?

So you were not 'well blinged up?' (hee.) You are the one who put me onto them-- and the singing ones, who do the skit about Kyd-- which I love.

The Kyd skit is a hoot.

I may need to watch it again.
