See you at The Speakeasy downtown (on Davie between Bute and Jervis) for our next First Friday!

We will meet there on November 2 from 6-8pm.

An another school year has officially started… welcome to everyone who’s starting at UBC, and welcome back to everyone else!

Don’t miss our first First Friday of the year next month; it’s a great way to meet new people and/or catch up on what everyone’s been doing this summer. See you at the Wolf and Hound at 6pm on Oct 5.

Also, we have a new brochure for you that you check out and/or circulate freely.

We have decided not to organize a First Friday in April since we didn’t have enough people from the organizing committee who could commit this month. So we will be celebrating the end of the school year at our next get-together in May, at The Wolf and Hound in Kitsilano.  See you there!

PS. If you would like to get involved in the organizing committee, email us at queergrads.ubc [at] gmail.com. We can always use some help. 🙂

I’ve had the date, time and location for our next First Friday up for a while (see the column to the right!) so this is just a quick, friendly reminder that our April First Friday is coming up. We will be meeting at 6 as usual, but this time we’re heading to east Van and having drinks at Toby’s on Commercial Drive!

For the upcoming First Friday (March 4), we will be meeting at The Fountainhead on Davie. (We’re having trouble thinking of other queer-friendly places that welcome big groups on Friday evenings, so if you have any ideas, please share them with us!)

Be there at 4:30pm for an ‘admin meeting’ if you’re interested in being part of helping out with this group, deciding what to do next, where we’re going, etc.

If you’d just like to get a drink and chat, the social portion of the evening will start at 6. Show up anytime between 6 and 8 and we’ll be there. This time we will even have a rainbow flag to help everyone find the group!

Happy New Year (at least to those of you who go by the Gregorian calendar)!

Our monthly meeting, First Friday, will happen as scheduled on this Friday, January 7. We will meet at 6:30pm at the Fountainhead on Davie St.

If you have any suggestions for the group, the website, where we could meet in February, or anything else, feel free to email us your ideas. We are hoping to organize a more administrative meeting in the coming weeks, to set out some guidelines for the group and figure out what people would like this group to be and what other activities we can start organizing. We’ll want your input so don’t worry, you’ll be invited to join us. We just need a date and location first…

See you Friday!

The end of the term has caught up with me so I haven’t had a chance to post this yet, but I wanted to extend a big thank you to all who came out for our December get-together. It was wonderful to see everyone!

We’re still trying to figure out how this group is going to function – expect some updates between now and the next First Friday, on Jan 7 (this time the location will be advertised here). To make sure you don’t miss anything, join the mailing list (on the right) and keep an eye on this website.

In the meanwhile – happy holidays!
