Gay Rounders...

Last Saturday afternoon the lovely Oliver Reed organised a big gay rounders competition in Hyde Park. We were told what team we were in - black, blue, red or white - and proceeded to Buckhill in Hyde Park.

We were even given a disclaimer: "Since both of the previous tournaments ended with participants being carted off to hospital in the back of ambulances, I would like to remind you all that gays with bats can be dangerous and so you particpate in Gay Rounders at your own risk!"

In the event there were few injuries, lots of fun was had and we finished at just the right time before things got too competitive!

Thanks for organising Ollie - looking forward to the next one already.

The Black Cap Saved...

Well it looks like The Black Cap pub has been saved after all. With a bit of help from Michelle Collins.


Plans to convert part of famous Black Cap pub into flats are rejected by planning chiefs. A statement from the council on Monday read: “Although officers considered that use of the second and third floors of the pub, which currently provides ancillary accommodation, to residential would be acceptable, there were strong concerns about the loss of the first floor which forms an active part of this popular pub. The ground floor of the building is used for cabaret and the first-floor space provides a quieter meeting environment for the community. It was considered that the loss of the pub and restaurant use at first floor would be detrimental to the gay and lesbian community for whom this is a key meeting place.” 


Er, "popular"?
