John Moore the new Chair of BLAGSS (Brighton Lesbian and Gay Sports Society) wants you to know ‘What BLAGSS means to him!’
“WHEN I moved down to Brighton with my husband 5 years ago, we knew no-one. We had recently retired and wanted to embrace the lifestyle that Brighton had to offer.
After picking up a leaflet about BLAGSS we soon got involved, playing tennis and helping out. With a background in Leisure Management I took on a Sports Development role trying out new activities for members. Being an ex-competitive swimmer I also joined Out to Swim and swam regularly.
Through BLAGSS we have made a huge amount of new friends and found everyone to be very friendly and welcoming, many being in a similar position having moved here in recent years. I would like to say my tennis has improved; but my social network certainly has.
You don’t have to be super sporty, BLAGSS accommodates all skill levels and abilities, is non-judgemental and provides some coaching too. The social events are great fun and a great way to meet and make new friends.
Membership offers a wide range of sporting benefits plus discounts at a range of local partners including our friends The Camelford and The Crown.”
