(Thanks to Alan Quick & Gus McEwan for letting us use their fab photos)
Exeter Pride 2010 was splendid day!
Exeter pride took place on 27th March and was a splendid day altogether! around 300 people took part in the Parade through the heart of the City which went smoothly with a very supportive audience along the high street.
The parade led to Exeter Pheonix where a full day of events kicked off with stalls in the main auditoirum where we had over 500 people throughout the day. There was a heady mix of stalls with both commercial and charitable organisations who gave out freebies as well as selling thier wares - thanks to all who hired a pitch - some testimonials will be put up on this site soon. if you would like more information about haing a stall at Exeter Pride 2011 get in touch with the committee on info@exeterpride.co.uk.
The women's space was very popular with a drumming workshops led by Organic Rhythm and a dance workshop led by a local dance teacher.
The men's space was also popular and provided some great consultation for future events and activities for men in the area.
The legal workshop and fostering and adoption was very well attended - thanks again to Michelmores and Cartridges for leading the workshop and their general support throughout the day.
The Speed Dating was spledid fun - first the girls with over 30 women taking part and then boys - with over 40 and the organisers having to turn people away!
The Chillout Cafe was a great warm up for the evening events at Vaults - and saw some superb local talent and a really great atmosphere.
