Pride in Newry 2013 Open Meeting
Following on from the tremendous success of the 2012 Pride in Newry Festival there will be an Open Meeting regarding the 2013 Festival on Tuesday the 5th of February at 8pm in the NRC Centre, 82a Hill Street, Newry
Attenders at the meeting will form the 2013 PIN Steering Committee who will then organise the 2nd Annual Pride in Newry Festival.
As the name suggests the meeting is open to all sections of the community, in fact the more areas of our community represented, then better the festival will be!
A short presentation will be given followed by an informal chat.

Perhaps you already look like a Zombie after the weeks festivities but if not get yourselves a bit of gear on and join in the fun!
