Originally formed back in 2002, Girls @ The Gate lost our venue in Inverness when The Gate café-bar changed hands in August 2003 and stopped being gay-friendly. We re-named ourselves GirlZone and now meet for lunch in Inverness city centre twice a month (on the first Saturday and third Friday).

The next GirlZone dates are:

• Friday 19 February - GirlZone lunch from 12.30pm - 2pm in the restaurant upstairs in Debenhams (take the lift to the very top floor in the Eastgate shopping centre, don't go to the cafe on the ground floor!)
• Saturday 6 March - GirlZone lunch from 1pm at Wetherspoons in Church Street.
• Friday 19 March - GirlZone lunch from 12.30pm - 2pm in the restaurant upstairs in Debenhams (take the lift to the very top floor in the Eastgate shopping centre, don't go to the cafe on the ground floor!)

GirlZone is a friendly, informal social group for all ages. If you are a gay woman, lesbian or bisexual woman (or if you are questioning your sexual orientation), then feel free to get in touch. All welcome whether married, separated, divorced, single or living with a partner (male or female). Trans women are welcome too.
If you're nervous about coming along, a couple of us can meet you in advance and show you we don't bite! Feel free to bring along a straight friend for support if you wish.
Look for the blue box! We have a small cardboard blue cube (actually it's a shiny little gift box!) on the table to identify us for the benefit of any newcomers who just want to drop by. Find the blue box and you'll know you've got the right table!

We have women who come along from places throughout the Highlands & Moray including Nairn, Elgin, Tain and sometimes as far afield as Caithness.
