A major exhibition of LGBT History for Nottingham
Nottinghamshire's Rainbow Heritage heard in January that its grant application has been approved by the Heritage Lottery fund. Various local events were scheduled for February 2008's LGBT History Month. The highlight was an exhibition in the large gallery at View from the Top, which is above Waterstones - the 4th floor. The exhibition ran from Tuesday February 12th to Sunday February 17th. You can contact Nottinghamshire's Rainbow Heritage at NottsRH@hotmail.co.uk Details about the exhibition and the other events which were organised for LGBT History Month are available by clicking on

Your sexual health is important. Nottinghamshire Police would like to remind you that not everyone is careful when having sex with someone else. There have been reports of people who are carrying infections deliberately having unprotected sex with others to infect them. Please always use protection - make sure that condoms are used.
For further advice on sexual health visit the Healthy Gay Nottingham (formerly the GAi Project) Website at www.healthygaynottingham.org.uk

Switchboard has developed an award-winning History Project. To have a look at this, click on www.nlgshistory.ik.com where you will also find information about another LGBT History project - Nottinghamshire's Rainbow Heritage, which a group of local people have started with the aid of Heritage Lottery funding.

Switchboard will be starting a training programme for new volunteers soon - if you might be interested, read the Volunteering section, then send us an e-mail at notts@lgswitchboard.fsnet.co.uk
Switchboard also produces the bi-monthly free newsletter QB. You can pick up copies of QB on the scene and also at Broadway Cinema, the Health Shop, the Women's Centre, 7 Mansfield Road and at the main libraries. You can also see most of it online at the History Project website given above. If you can't pick up QB, we can arrange to post it to you for an amazingly reasonable price.
