Meet the event organisers

44yo cyclist, transport anorak, yadda yadda yadda.

Hi, I'm Andy. I've been on here for a few years, and I expect to be around for a while yet! I organise Out badminton in the Midlands and I try to get along to other Out events whenever I can.

I'm easy to chat to (I think). I'm pretty honest with my opinions (I've been told). I'm quite peceptive and insightful (it has transpired). Oh, and I'll happily talk utter shit with you all day if you like. Quite a sensitive soul at heart, but appear rather confrontational and confident. We are all onions (they have layers).

OUT is great! I've made some good friends here and been to lots of events but I'm always looking to make new friends and maybe find that elusive special soulmate. My interests include - Walking, the countryside, camping, running, keeping fit, theatre, cinema, the arts, travel. Been to lots of the Shell Out camping weekends. Check out my photo gallery for some of the activities I've enjoyed over the last few years.

I spend most days eating chocolate, eating olives, surfing the web, programming computers, listening to music and eating more chocolate. Can be found some evenings in the coffee bars of Soho and a few times a month getting my adrenaline fix into the early hours on a dancefloor.

Adoptive son of Lincolnshire, likes general interaction & stuff like that. Organiser of brand new Lincoln coffee possee and general glutton for punishment.

Just your average geordie bloke in London, who works way too hard but tries to find time for good mates, beery nights out, indie and electro clubs/bands, good food, and cuddles under the duvet on a sunday morning. Applications welcome :-)

Mellow thinker type looking for explanations to life's ways. Tend to be non-scene. After deep, meaningful conversations. Am rubbish at making the first move, rubbish at relationships and am generally socially and conversationally incompetant! However, I am genuine, whimsical, idealistic, and good at listening. Hoping to make the most of my free time and avoid stagnation. I usually fall for fair-skinned types - especially red-heads!!

A London bear looking for bears and their admirers who may be interested in my monthly London Bears Movie Club.

I'm a sorted and mildly normal guy who seeks mates and dates with whom I can share life's great experiences. Food, wine, walking, current affairs and travel tick my boxes.

I teach a meditation group for gay men in London. I lived for six years as a Buddhist monk and now live in London. I'm looking at ways of going into businesses to teach meditation - 'stress busting'. Let me know if you are interested! In my social life I like to relax with friends and explore spiritual teachings. I'm not heavily into the scene so more likely to goto the theatre or park.

Open-minded, warm-hearted, affectionate - looking for like-minded friends

If I was an animal I'd be a wombat. If I was a car I would be unroadworthy. If I was a painting I'd be from Zürich Dada. If I was a drink I'd be a lager shandy. If I was a place I would be anywhere but Crewe. If I was a song I would be Xanadu.

Hi, i'm 5' 8" tall, medium build, brown hair, hazel eyes. I'm very blissfully dating a wonderful man who's fantastic to be with, how lucky am I. He's my morning, he's my evening, he's my everything.

Well what can one say about oneself other than nothing ventured nothing gained. I am a very nice upfront guy as all of my friends will testify to should they be asked. If you are looking for a challenge then look no further, you have come to the right guy. Confidence is my middle name. Manners are important to me, discretion is always assured and most definitly required. I do like men to be men.
