Welcome to our website

HuGG is a friendly social group for gay and bisexual men, aged 18+, which meets at 8pm, every Tuesday close to Huddersfield town centre in a discrete location with parking.

The meeting starts with coffee, tea or a soft drink which is available from 20p. This is a chance to meet new people, have a chat, catch up on the weeks gossip or find out what the other guys have been up to since we saw them last. We also have general information, gay press/magazines and health related leaflets to read or take home.

About 8:30, we begin an 'activity'. This may be a team game, quiz, presentation or guest speaker (see the 'current diary' page for information). None of our games or quizzes is to be taken too seriously and they usually last about 45 minutes to an hour. After the meeting has ended around 9:30 we finish off the evening with a drink in a local pub.

Your first visit is free and we charge 50p for subsequent meetings. The money is saved and used to subsidise events and activities of the group.

In addition to the Tuesday meetings we also meet regulalry for 10 Pin Bowling, Dining Out, trips to Canal Street and local 'scene', Theatre visits, Nights Out, and Weekends Away.

Many men are nervous about the thought of entering a room full of strangers, particulalry if they are venturing out for the first time as gay or bi curious men. New group members have told us how nervous they were, and that they walked passed the door a few times before they found the courage to come in! Don't worry, a couple of us can arrange to meet you early on your first visit, just so you can feel more relaxed before the others arrive. If you decide not to stay for the group, that's fine. All we can say is, give us a go ... it is a very friendly group and new members are always welcome.
