The North Notts LGB Development group was set up in 2002 to do exactly what it says on the tin. The starting point was a Home Office sponsored survey to determine just what was available for LGB people in North Notts. The answer - quite predictable - was "practically nothing".
The group wound up at the end of 2010, but by that time it had achieved a lot, for example:
Thanks should be given to Julia Hughes and Mike Newstead for their work which produced many positive outcomes.
Probably the most memorable aspect of its work was in conjunction with the Holocaust Centre at Laxton. In 2005 it organised the presentation of a pink triangle plaque to commemorate LGB people who died in the concentration camps.
Everyone who was present will remember the ceremony as a most moving occasion.
In 2006, the group followed up the presentation with a talk given by Janni Kowalski, a gay survivor of the holocaust. Janni’s experiences are told in his book “Liebe macht Frei”.
