Weymouth Coffee Shop lgbt meet ups (update posted here 23/12/2018)
Monthly on a Wednesday afternoon - so in January it would be Wednesday 16th.
During 2018 these monthly Wednesday afternoon coffee shop meet ups have run at two venues in Weymouth. However sadly both cafes have closed down! So the search is on for another cafe type venue. Several venues have been suggested and are being checked out. It has been suggested we meet up in The Willam Henry (Wetherspoons) until a new cafe venue is found. What do you think? It would be on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 2pm, which for January would be Wednesday 16th.
These LGBT cafe Pop ups have been organised in the past by The Dorset LGB&T Equality Network. http://lgbtdorsetequality.network/
