AFTER 5
If you are fed up with the scene and want something different. you’ll be glad to hear there’s a new club in town. Not a hands-in-the-air. Kylie worshipping dance venue. but a club for gay men, lesbians and bi-sexuals who want more from their social life. It's called the After 5 Club.
After two years of planning and research, the club had its first event in July and the membership has been growing ever since. The
gayelistcouk
events are all same sex and owners George Lyall and Peter Stewart hope they offer members the chance to make new friends as well as do some business networking. ‘It gives people an environment where it’s relaxed. comfortable. calm and professional. It is more than one-dimensional and you can have fun as well as chill out,‘ says Stewart. As well as dinner events. they also offer a variety of group adventure activities such as quad biking and white water rafting as well as ‘single and mingle’ nights.
Membership is tiered but no matter which level you choose you have the opportunity to attend events and select the kinds of activities you want to do in the future. ‘The club is as good as the members want it to be, it's their club and they can make it their own and take advantage of doing activities that they maybe wouldn’t normally do.’ says Stewart. Whatever reason you decide to join. there are plenty of well organised events to attend and plenty of new people to meet. What else are you going to do - sit in and watch the woeful gay storyline on Coronation Street? (Jane Hamilton)
