Three more sessions to go; one in October and two in November. Also, due to public demand and Lesflicks amazingness, we're holding another session on "Women loving women" on Saturday 2nd November; 40 participants were keen on meeting again soon to carry on exploring many of the topics that came up during our first session. We have a new venue, more chairs, extra cake and vegan gummies; what's not to like.

Short films (45 minutes of shorts curated by LesFlicks) + guest speakers + interactive discussions (joining is optional). Refreshments provided. Saturday 21st September, 2-4.30pm at Stratford Park, (in small building opposite tennis courts) West Ham Lane, E15 4PT Book your FREE ticket here.
