World Outgames 2009 welcomes the global LGBT community to Copenhagen

Many of our closest partners from all over the world will be visiting us in Copenhagen for network meetings during the first weekend of May. These include distinguished representatives from the following organizations

• Gay and Lesbian International Sports Association (GLISA)
• European Gay and Lesbian Sports Federation (EGLSF)
• International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA)
• International Lesbian and Gay Association, Europe (ILGA Europe)
• International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics (IGLA)
• HIVOS
• Pan Idraet
• Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (CGLcc)
• Danish National Association of Gays and Lesbians (LBL)

In addition to getting personally acquainted with each other and the secretariat , the objective of the meetings is to strengthen support for World Outgames 2009 and to facilitate cooperation among LGBT organizations worldwide.

Among the many activities we have planned for our guests is a tour of the venues at which most of the sports, culture and conference events will take place during World Outgames 2009.

In addition to visiting the sites, there will also be plenty of time and space for discussion and dialog concerning problems and challenges facing the global LGBT community.

All of us at the secretariat, together with many volunteers, are looking forward to welcoming our international visitors to Copenhagen. But so is our Mayor of Culture, Pia Allerslev, who will be hosting a welcome reception on Friday, 2 May at Copenhagen’s City Hall.

The timing for this three-day status seminar could not be better; spring has arrived in Copenhagen, our new website has been successfully launched, online registration has started and our volunteer organization is taking shape. We have much good news to share with our partners.

CRUX is the rock climbing club for the LGBT community of New York.

We love climbing and we want to introduce more people to this incredible sport- the goal being to create a core of LGBT climbers in the NYC area who climb, socialize, train, and compete together. In addition to creating an environment where all of our members feel welcome, this is the place to have a great time getting in shape and meeting new people. This is our chance to make LGBT climbers more visible in the climbing community and beyond and to use climbing as a tool to empower LGBT members. Rock climbing is a great sport for people of all ages and abilities and everyone is welcome to join! Our home gym is The Rock Club in New Rochelle.

Never tried climbing? Don’t worry, it’s fun right from the beginning. CRUX has a great mix of noobie climbers through to sponsored athletes and everyone in between.
