BGMC's homage to Anneka Rice's "Treasure Hunt" including "live feeds" from various locations all over Brighton and Hove. On the back of our first sell out show at Brighton Dome, we were feeling quite ambitious and so decided to do something experimental with the usual show format. We shot pre-record scenes of our own Manneka Rice (a chorus member in drag) dashing around Brighton trying to locate the utimate gay song. Manneka would interview chorus members acting as members of the public looking for clues. These were then shown at various points during the show where we had Windy Willis and co trying to help from HQ as if they were in direct live communication. The show ended with Manneka bursting into the church and finding the answer under the Mayors seat. I think it was I Will Survive, which the Chorus then dutifully performed to much applause. Anneka Rice even sent a thank you message which was played out at the end. One of most ambitious and fun shows to date, which was a sell out success. I seem to remember it was the first time we had "gone big" for our Fringe show, where previously they had been quite small shows in the Old Court House. Since then our Fringe show has become a main feature of our annual calendar.

These are handwritten notes taken during The Brighton Dyke Collective manifesto writing workshop, ran by the research group Exploding Appendix, in March 2024. In this workshop Dykes were encouraged to ask what they wanted from their manifesto, what they wanted to say and achieve in their work, and how best to mobilise dykes in their city. These notes explore the role of thinking about utopia, rage, community, queerness and other topics when it comes to creating their manifesto.

Pink Kashmir scarf with fringe. A gift from a friend who shared a similar cultural background to myself where you could not always admit you were different but wanted to be able show your identity in a way that was important to you.

The Martin Fisher Foundation was founded in 2015 to take forward the work of Professor Martin Fisher. We continue to promote Martin's ethos of treating people living with HIV with dignity, compassion and respect, and are developing new strategies for effective HIV prevention, treatment and care. We are working together towards ZERO new HIV infections, ZERO HIV-related deaths, and ZERO HIV stigma in Brighton and Hove. We have a unique opportunity to eliminate HIV within the next generation. We know around 1: 10 people with HIV are unaware of their infection and may be unknowingly passing on the infection to others. If we can increase HIV testing across the city and reach the undiagnosed proportion, then they can start effective treatment which will completely supress the virus. Once supressed, or undetectable, the virus is untransmissble.

Article from Gscene Magazine February 2007 JOLLY HOCKEY STICKS! The Brighton Honeybees Hockey Club have been going strong for well over ten years. They're a self run community team attracting players with a wide range of ages, backgrounds and skills, with the emphasis on having fun and keeping fit. Long standing player and vice captain Vic Finnimore explains: “The Bees were founded by ladies Whopps and Serbiton, along with other disillusioned women who were unhappy playing for their existing or previous clubs as they were felt to be too stuffy and competitive, and not particularly gay-friendly. We didn’t set out to be a lesbian team – it just kind of happened!” This year the Honeybees home ground is up at the Stanley Deason Leisure Centre, Wilson Avenue, Brighton where they play home games on Saturday mornings and train on Wednesday evenings from 6-7pm. They play in Division 2 of the Sussex Ladies League and are currently 9th in the table. They've also reached the semi finals of the Sussex Shield and will play against South Saxons 2s on 31 March. The Honeybees are a friendly sociable team and always looking for supporters and new players so if you fancy going along to watch or joining them on the pitch contact them.

The shoestring budget and DIY ethos meant the LGBTQI+ club night Housewife's Choice was a cheap date - decor created from the begged, borrowed and nicked. Painted in our flat at Wilbury Road by Queenie and Michele the bedsheets were transformed to keep the 50s Housewife ideal alive.
