Latest News:
- Hope you aren't getting too bored staying at home (or - much worse - ill with the virus). Almost everything for the next month or three has been cancelled, but not quite everything. And in August, if we're allowed to, we've selected Saturday 1st August for the annual Shrewbury Pink Picnic in the Quarry. So there's something to look forward to! In the meantime, here's what's on in April...
- Chill Out Mondays is shifting from the OMH to Skype. Get into your Going Out gear and get in the mood to party! Log on Monday 6 April at 8.30pm for thirty or forty minutes. Get the Skype app, charge your phone or pc, and email ChillOutMondays@live.co.uk at least an hour beforehand for the link. See you there!

- LGBT History Month managed to complete its amazing programme of events before the Coronavirus hit Shropshire, but the floods (remember them?) did result in some event cancellations. You can relive the highlights with a three minutes video here, and there's also a short illustrated report available upon request here. Well done the organisers and participants!
