welcome to the group lulu
there's a list of lgbt switchboard numbers in the help and advice section, by phoning your local number, you can find any gay groups that run in your area, always a great way to meet like minded people local to you.
to meet members here, just join in on the boards and in chat, get to know everyone, and allow them to get to know you.
we also have a contacts page where you can add your details.
have a look around, see what the group has to offer you
enjoy your visits
