The next Meet N Greet will take place in The Other Place on Wednesday, June 23 from 7.30.
This month’s event is a Team Games Night. There are a few different rounds in store that should be good fun and interactive for everyone involved.
As usual, everyone is welcome, even if you have never been before. This is a great chance to meet others if you are new to Cork or the community, and it should be a really fun night for all involved.
Admission is €2 per person. If anyone has questions you can contact meetngreetcork@gmail.com
***** Literati *****
The Book for this month’s The Other Place Literati book club is Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman,
The blurb:
Fat Charlie is not having a good week, His estranged father recently dropped dead on a karaoke stage and has left Fat Charlie with much more than just embarrassment. Because, you see, Charllie has discovered that his dad wasn’t just any old dad. He was Anansi the trickster spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion, able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of nothing and even baffle the devil. No wonder Fat Charlie’s life is about to be turned upside down
That book club meeting is taking place on Tuesday, 13th of July in The Other Place Cafe.

Hi everyone,
For those of you who are into their acting and such the Wild Ensemble Theatre group had their first committee meeting yesterday and are delighted to announce details of their upcoming auditions for A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
The auditions will be held in The Other Place,8 South Main Street on June 16 at 8.00 pm.
Auditionees can gather in the cafe area of The Other Place and will be called to audition in the members’ area.
It would be preferable if candidates have a prepared piece for the auditions so that they can get a flavour of what each candidate has to offer. Additionally, candidates may be asked to give a reading from the CLOCKWORK ORANGE script although that is not definite.
John Hayes will be providing any necessary additonal details over the next few weeks and if anybody has any queries please don’t hesitate to private message him on his Facebook page or ring him on: 086-0315970
*Good Luck* to all the auditionees!:-)

Amnesty International Flash Pride
Dear Members,
This is short notice but we just want to draw your attention to the fact
that as Baltic Pride appears to have been banned, Amnesty International are
organising a Flash Pride outside the Lithuanian Embassy (*47 Ailesbury Road,
Ballsbridge, Dublin 4*) this Saturday from 12:30-2pm to show solidarity for
members of the LGBT community in Lithuania.
If you happen to be in Dublin or can make it to the event, that would be
great! Otherwise, feel free to pass this on to anybody you think might be
interested.
Here’s a link to the Facebook group:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=120882801264484
In the meantime, keep an eye on our new campaigns section of website – we
will be updating it shortly! I’ll be in touch soon regarding the campaigns
sub-committee and all our campaigning plans for next year.
Take care,
Laura (LGBT Campaigns and Human Rights Officer).

Presentation of Archives Project – not to be missed!
We will be polishing off this successful year with our last major event next
Wednesday, 24th! The event will begin at 7pm in the Tower Rooms 1 and 2
(those who don’t know where these rooms are can meet me outside the Student
Centre at 6:50pm) with a wine reception and a presentation from the Irish
Queer Archives.
Following this, we will move to the Aula Maxima at 8pm where we will be
presenting the finished book of our own LGBT Society’s History from prior to
its official recognition to the present day. The President of UCC, Dr.
Michael Murphy will be giving a speech at this event, as will founder of UCC
LGBT Society, Cathal Kerrigan and first Auditor, Josephine O’ Halloran.
Tonie Walsh from Irish Queer Archives will also be speaking on the night, as
will our very own Tiarnan O’ Sullivan, who was coordinator for our Archives
project this year.
Leaflets with a breakdown of the history will also be given to everyone in
attendance on the night. A lot of work has gone into this project over the
past few months and anybody who is interested in our society’s history our
the history of the LGBT movement in Ireland (or anybody who likes free wine)
would enjoy this event!
I hope to see many of you there and we will be heading out afterwards for
drinks. I would also like to thank those of you who contributed or helped us
out with this project over the last few months – it is very much
appreciated.
Laura.
