The Out & Out Summer ball was a perfect end to the Pride London festivities today. Bubbles on arrival, an excellent buffet three course meal, wine and a three hour boat cruise with 100 tuxedo-clad, articulate, intelligent, likeminded men! From musicians to MDs to actors and aristocrats - the club attracts a diverse range of people and they were all here! Marvellous!

'Out & Out' is the longest established gay dining and social club in the UK. Set up fifteen years ago to offer an alternative, relaxed, non-cruising environment for friends to meet people like themselves... and it's evidently still going strong!

As the evening drew in the 70s/80s music played on, people continued chatting out on deck and the boat brought London's landmarks to our doorstep! Whilst, quite understandably, some members preferred not to have their picture taken - we hope that the photographs that we did get of the occasion help give you a good flavour of the event.

It was a pleasure for REALLondon to have been invited along for the ride - many thanks to Out & Out for having us on board!

loved it!
