Met LGBT Update! 

  <http://www.metlgbt.co.uk/images/presidentsml.JPG> Hello again, welcome to
issue 4 of the Met LGBT eBulletin. Destination Met was well attended by
other Uni's but only 4 from London Met came. It is really important that
people attend certain events as it allows us to apply for more money and
have more events that you want.

Now onto bigger plans, we plan to have a LGBT Awareness Week in February
(tying in with LGBT history month) and also launch a campaign to have
Liberation Officers in the Students Union. More to follow next week. 

Second to last point(s). Can people please let me know if they are attending
Strike Bowling or Sex and Your Arse (details below) as I need to know :) 

Finally,  <http://www.metlgbt.co.uk> www.metlgbt.co.uk is live. Check it
out! We need people to do club and bar reviews for it. Email us if you are
interested.

Oh and by the way - if you email me back or attend Sex and Your Arse - you
can get £5 off purchases at ProwlerDirect (terms and conditions apply,
limited availability). 

Phillipe Chiarella
President and Founder, Met LGBT
