Northern Aces Tennis Group
The aims of the Group as set out in the Constitution are to “To provide the means for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (GLBT) persons to play tennis”. We hope, however, that we do much more than that, and that people can come along to play and improve their tennis in a friendly, relaxed and sociable atmosphere.
The Group runs weekly tennis sessions at Sportcity, provides professional coaching and organises both internal and international tennis tournaments. Group members also frequently travel elsewhere in the UK, as well as overseas, to compete in International GLBT tournaments.
Open Athletics Manchester
Open athletics is an organisation for the promotion and development of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transexual (LGBT) athletics in the broadest sense - including track and field, fell and trail running, and race walking.
We aim to be a forum and a network of individual LGBT athletes, groups and clubs across the UK - in Aberdeen, Brighton, Lancaster, London, Manchester, Midlands, North Wales, West Yorkshire.
Manchester FrontRunners
Possibly Manchester’s friendliest running club! Part of the International Frontrunners network and fully affiliated to England Athletics, Manchester Frontrunners was founded in 2005 to offer a sociable and friendly place for runners to train and meet other like-minded folk in a supportive environment. Whilst the majority of our members are from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community, we are absolutely open to everyone and encourage participation from, and aim to provide access for all.
Marlin Swimming Group
Marlin is Manchester’s trans swimming group. It is open to all trans people, MTF and FTM. It is FREE due to funding from Manchester Pride.
Women's Swimming
We are a friendly bunch of girls of various abilities, ages, professions, origins, sizes, you name it, who have one thing in common - we like to get wet!!! So if this sounds like you and you fancy a swim in a supportive and motivating environment, come and give it a try at one of our regular swimming sessions. New member of all abilities are welcome: whether you prefer a few lengths and a chat once a month, or a coached swim once or twice a week!
Northern Wave’s Women’s rep is Hana Kubacova. Contact Hana at women@northernwave.org
Northern Wave Swimming Club
The Club caters for all levels of swimming from beginners through to competitive swimming. You can
come along and do your own thing, for meeting people/social purposes or be coached either for personal
improvement and fitness or to enter swimming events around the world and/or ASA Masters Events.
Many members use the club for its social outlets and are not necessarily committed swimmers but enjoy
the unique ambience that the club has and are more involved in the social and volunteering opportunities
that the club generates.
Tuesday swim 8.00-9.30 pm
Moss Side Leisure Centre
Manchester Sharks Water Polo
Established in July 2007, the Manchester Sharks are the North of England’s first Gay and Lesbian Polo club. The team has been around for some years now as a valued aspect to Northern Wave Swim Club. It was decided that the team would be better suited running separate to Northern Wave; creating the birth of one of Manchester’s youngest gay sports clubs.
Throughout the years the team has grown from a few men. The team has now grown from several quads, creating a world wide reputation; hosting international tournaments. We are also fully committed to building a women’s team.
Pride Sports
Pride Sports is the LGBT sporting infrastructure organisation for North West England and is the culmination of almost ten years sports development and activity within Manchester’s LGBT community. Our experienced board is made up of Trevor Burchick MBE, Louise Englefield and Sally Carr, bringing together over 35 years experience of community sports and activity capacity building, youth project work, active citizenship development and development in voluntary, public and private spheres.
Manchester LGBT Center
Friendly community center that goes by many names (LCP, Gay Center) in Manchester City Center. Right behind 8th day cafe on Oxford Road. 5 minutes from Oxford Road train station.
Featured Groups
Queer Cafe (Manchester)
First Sunday of the month, come to the LGBTQ Centre behind 8th Day on Oxford Road for Sunday lunch, nice people and Sunday papers. It’s bring a dish, so please bring some food if you are able.
The cafe is primarily a safe space for queers and their friends. We take queer to mean people of all genders, sexualities, and sexes and who are involved in all kinds of relationship types. We started the Cafe out of a lack of safe spaces for queers to get cheap, vegetarian and vegan food and generally hang out and be well.
Queer Manchester
This group was formed out of a lack of unified information on queer activity in Manchester. Hopefully this can catalogue queer events going on, and be a good place for general discussion.
Pride is a protest! Stonewall was a riot!
Thinking about taking part in the parade but wish it was like old times where marching for our rights came before entering as walking advertisements for greedy corporate sponsors and boistrous self-publisist gay charities?
Join us in declaring “Pride IS a Protest”!
Taking inspiration from Birmingham’s amazing Pride is a protest event, there is now an organised group of queer activists working to ensure a similar event takes place during the Manchester Pride Parade on Saturday 23 August 2008.
Bradford Samba
This website belongs to the Bradford Samba Band. We’re a society in the University of Bradford Union but we’re open to everyone: If you want to creatively protest the great injustices of the world, then you’re welcome here. If you’ve got rhythm, its a bonus, but its not essential. We’re always looking for new members, so please get involved.
On this (queer) day...
Inspired by the Slingshot diaries, the Queer Web Project though it would be nice to have an iCalendar-importable “on this day” archive for your electronic diary.
This module needs a maintainer. Please feel free to contact the group owner and take it over!
