Welcome!
This is the site for all the Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans stuff happening in the Shrewsbury area. Several groups meet regularly, and extra stuff happens too. The site's eleven pages contain links to everything. If you have something to add please tell us.
If you’d like to help the tiny teams organise something new don’t be shy - they'd love it!
