Starting 6pm | 11th Oct | Level 2

Our First LGBT and Friends event of the year! This is a large gathering to break tensions, so we hope you will lose any nervousness that you have, and find the confidence to have a great time at Essex Uni. We aim to make this a fun social event, were you will have fun making new friends, and hopefully not embarrass yourself too much.

We won Best Society of the Year last year, and we’re proud of that! The first part of the night will have us explaining some of the things we did to get that award, as well as some of the things we aim to do this year. We will explain a few things which brought us to winning that, and what you can do to help us make this an even better Society. The Society is nothing without its members, and we want you to feel a part of it as much as possible.

Meeting at 6.30pm in LTB (Actual film room TBC) | 25th October

I’m sure this film needs no explanation, but to whoever has not seen this film before; expect raving songs that won’t leave your head, characters so weird and yet so wonderful, and sexual innuendos that you could never possibly use in real life.

Bring a friend if you wish! The more the merrier.

Meeting at 9pm in Square 3 | 28th October

Sky Rooms’ monthly Gay Night Out in Colchester Town will have the LGBT and Friends Society dressed to gravely impress. We will meet in the SU bar at 9pm, dressed as clinically as you desire – a gory doctor or a deathly nurse.

For this night the Society will have its own exclusive room at Outhouse East ( Colchester’s Gay Switchboard) to ‘pre-drink’and meet some of the people who run this charity. This is a first for the Society. It will be and excellent place to start the night, before heading off for the main event: Enigma’s Halloween Hospital Horror is the theme for the night.

Bring drinks of your choice (cups will be provided)

LTB 1 | 6pm |  2nd November

Our first Society General Meeting, where your Executive Committee will be on hand to listening to any queries or concerns that you may have.

The GM will include an Election where you will have the chance to go for two available positions within the Exec.

We definitely would recommend going for a position in the Society, as you will learn so much from it and be involved in this year’s Society of the Year.

You do not need to be qualified in anything or be super experienced in it. As long as you have the energy and commitment for it, we feel that is all you need

After the GM, we will all head down to SU Bar for a Big Chill.
