Bill: MP reveals tactics. Ian Dunn
Robin Cook speaking at SMG Edinburgh, said he would do all
in his power to prevent the re-enactment of the Criminal
Law Amendment Act 1885 into the 1976 Bill which the Government
are putting through Parliament. He will try to generate debate
on the crassness of the Bill's clauses. About 25 MPs and
Lord Boothby have written to SMG, many saying they are in
support of SMGs recommendations. |
SMG
buys centre in Glasgow from Ian Dunn
Shiela MacAskill and the Glasgow Branch have bees successful
in their search for premeses for the group. At a special
General Meeting on 21 September [1976] members voted unanimously
to purchase property at the west end of Sauchiehall Street.
The building which lies behind the Charing Cross Hotel, was
once occupied by the Scottish Youth Hostels Association.
The presises, which costs £8,000, will prove a great
challenge to gay men and women in Glasgow. The SMG Group
will have to raise a healthy weekly income from discos and
other activities to help finance the venture. With this in
mind, SMG recently spend £600 buying a superb disco
and lights, and the equipment was greeted with acclaim at
the recent Forum in Stirling.
Shiela is delighted that her full-time work has brought such
early results. Her task completed, she has resigned her salaried
position and has resumed her voluntary work for the group. |
