Kingston LGBTQ+ Forum

NEW EVENT VENUE!

Come and join us at The Albion in Kingston for an evening of games! All LGBTQ+ people are welcome, and we're open to all levels of gaming experience - whether you're a full-fledged geek or completely new to the world of board games.

Meet fellow LGBTQ+ gamers, enjoy some snacks, and dive into a variety of board games. The the Forum will bring along a few games, but you're also welcome to bring anything you're keen to play too - please ensure that you're able to explain the rules to others.

When you arrive, look out for Sharon & Chris who will be hosting the evening and will be happy to introduce new people to the rest of the group.

Come alone or bring some friends along - we're a friendly bunch!

See you on Zoom for our virtual pub quiz. There will be general knowledge questions, picture rounds, music rounds, mystery voices, and spot questions. No prizes, it's just for fun.

You must have a working microphone to take part.

If you would like to join, please be ready by 8pm. Once the quiz is started, the room will be locked and you may not be allowed in.

Are you LGBTQIA+ and a Person of Colour? Do you want to meet others of similar backgrounds, in a relaxed and welcoming space? Look no further!

After the successful turnout at UK Black Pride, it has come to our attention that there is still demand for specific QTIPOC (Queer, Trans and Intersex People of Colour) spaces. It can be hard to find people of shared experiences across intersections, so we're trialling this space with that in mind.

Join Aaron for a friendly, relaxed meal at Nando's, located near the river in Kingston. No agenda - just food, fun and friends!

While respectful allies have been welcomed as guests in certain spaces, we kindly ask that this event is a Safe Space for QTIPOC only. POC explicitly includes Mixed Race People Of Colour.

This will be our *second ever* QTIPOC group meal, so if all goes well, there is capacity for regular future meetups. If you have any ideas for what you would like to see for local QTIPOC, we will be more than happy to hear your suggestions.

Nervous about not knowing anyone? Try not to be! Nobody knew each other initially at our previous socials, but everybody left smiling and feeling more connected to community. We do exist!

Meal is at Nando's Kingston, 37-38 High Street, London, KT1 1LQ

While there is no option to book, we shall meet at the restaurant for 18:30, please arrive on time, so we can order and eat together.

Spaces are limited, please confirm attendance by:
1.) Answering the pre-requisite questions.
2.) Confirming with Aaron you are definitely attending, either by direct message, a comment on here or via email aaron@kingstonlgbtforum.org.uk

Please note, your place is not secure without these communications. If you can no longer make it, please inform Aaron asap and change your RSVP. QTIPOC events are few and far between and this ensures that everyone can access a much-needed, valuable space.
