It would be foolish to think that beyond Dublin there is no gay activity. One group definitely believes that more should be done to cultivate gay life beyond the major cities. This is the Provincial Activities Group. The difficulties in being gay in a rural area are obvious and any effort to bring people together should be applauded and encouraged. Monaghan, Drogheda, Sligo, Wexford, Clonmel and Limerick have had meetings so far Clearly keeping people informed and publicising the venues for meetings is very important for good attendances and for building up momentum. Gay Community News will be giving the group a priority in publishing their venues and reporting on how meetings go. Tel-A-Friend will also be able to give details of meetings to anyone who would be interested.
