The date for Pride this year is August 9th 2008. The committee has decided to change the name from Gloucestershire Rainbow Day to Gloucestershire Pride. Llanthony Priory is booked and I hear that act's are already booked for main stage including Bottlebag, Mrs Trixie and more!A march is planned for the city like the first year. A couple of floats and street entertainers could be likely. Promotional nights lined up are Bottlebag 26th July - laid back easy listening local band great sounds!! WINGS(Women in Gloucestershire Lesbian Social group) are also putting on a promo night in aid of Pride on 28th June.
Like previous years I've been sending emails to seek support from Councils to fly the rainbow flag on the day - although sadly I will miss the event this year as I have something else planned.
