Go fishing
Out N Hastings, Port Macquarie’s GLBTIQ social group, has been busy organising events. They are holding a dance on Saturday, November 26 in the Dolphin Lounge of the Westport Club from 7pm. Tickets will be available at the door.
The group has also kicked off a recreational fishing tournament for LGBTIQ people called A Queer Fishing Classic 2011. This is their inaugural yearly fishing event and will take place in locations within the Hastings. Tides and where the fish are biting will determine each location and the length of the day.
With a successful round one completed, the next round will be on December 4 along Settlement Point. Round three will be held in February 2012.
All teams and individual competitors, identifying as, or allying with LGBTQI people are welcome to participate. To register your interest or for further information, please email [email protected] BYO BBQ food, if no fish caught.
