    What sort of sport?

    Rugby? Soccer? Hiking? Skiing? Outdoir pursuits? Squash? Rowing? Tennis? Running? Something else?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I've heard a lot of good stuff about wet and wild

    Pick up any copy of Gay Community Network and you'll find all the listings for gay sport activities :)

    gcn is always hopeless on listings. It might list clubs that fell apart 5 years ago or else not list half of the existing ones

    OP the Emerald warriors is a very good club even if you don't want to play rugby, there are a lot of people who still get involved. The club has just started up a women's team too and has a gay friendly ethos, so has LGB members and straight ones too, very friendly and welcoming!
