E.G.G., the English-speaking Gay Group in Brussels, was started in October 1987, as a way to make new acquaintances and to have a drink and pleasant conversation with friends in a relaxed and very casual atmosphere - without having to shout over eardrum-blasting music.
Not excluded, of course, is the possibility of your finding the man or woman of your life at one of our parties.
The group has one party each month for gays and lesbians ( see dates) and welcomes men and women of all nationalities and age groups - except minors.
The parties are held on Sunday afternoons from 3.30 to 7.00. They are often followed by an optional dinner for those who are able to stay on and continue the festivities. We take over a restaurant or a hotel banquet room for our parties and are thus assured of complete privacy.
Announcements are sent out ten to fourteen days before, giving the date and place. Our parties have been running between 20 and 30 or more people recently.
We ask 3.00 (three) Euros participation - for the cost of mailings and the like - at each party one attends.
If you are not fluent in English, that is not a problem. You are certain to find people who speak your language (French, Dutch, German, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Polish...). Besides, what better way to learn a language than with friends!
If you wish to be on the mailing list after having received this note, please confirm your desire by writing to us at chaussée de Waterloo, 189 Boîte 11, 1060 Bruxelles 6 or by signing up at the next party. You may also e-mail us at: tomhoemig@skynet.be .
If you would rather come to a party first to see what they are like, we will send you the next few announcements so you can attend a party and decide. You can let us know later if you want your name added.
We hope you will join us, and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
