Dear Lesley Mainwaring,(COMMUNITY SERVICES),

Thank you for your reply to my request which go some way to
answering my question.

I note that the aim in 2007 was to set up, plan and run a Pride
Style event in June 2007 celebrating LGBT communities. The event
held in the Guildhall in both 2007 and 2008 fall short of a true
Pride event. LGBT Prides across the World are out and Proud with a
colourful parade and party that celebrates the freedoms LGBT people
can now enjoy based on the Pride Protest marches that have happened
every year since 1970. The 'village' hall style event in the
Guildhall does not achieve this. You may have thought the event was
well attended but when compared to other regional Prides the
attendance was very poor. Doncaster for instance a similar sized
city, with a Pride also in its 3rd year attracted over 5,000 people
last year and ran until 9pm. They are now looking to move the
celebration to a larger venue for 2010.

Truro held its first Pride last year with a Parade, Picnic and
evening Party. Plymouth Pride Event closed at 4pm.

Plymouth City Council appears to have lost sight that they are in
fact the service provider not the Pride organisers!

Plymouth City Council should be providing the infrastructure to
host a proper Pride celebration that LGBT people want to be part
of.

Of course the council finds its miserable £3,000 contribution as
'value for money' when the council has charged around £1,500 for
the hire of the Guildhall.

£1,500 is a tiny amount of money, we are collating information from
other prides and will contact the council directly very soon.

Yours sincerely,

Pride in Plymouth
