review

Manchester's first Pride Games got off to a flying start with the registration area packed with gorgeous, friendly and fit contestants! Sports over the weekend include swimming, water polo, tennis, football, rugby 7s, basketball, volleyball, running and, perhaps the most important bit, lots of opportunities to meet likeminded gay sportypeople and make new friends!

The registration gathering at Moon Bar was closely followed by a short but sparkling parade through Canal Street - it'd be hard for anyone in Manchester not to have heard those drums! The lovely Taurus then hosted a welcoming party in the heart of the village.
