Last Years Competition

This time round its the Mr and Miss Gay Newry competition so if you fancy a go at becoming the next Mr Gay World, the game starts here and it’s only two stops to get there.
You can enter on the night as with the Miss Gay Newry but sadly so far there isn’t any Miss Gay World!

It promises to be a real classic as the former Mr Gay Ireland, the present Mr Gay Poland and the organiser of the Mr Gay Ireland event all will be there.

Have a good one…

This year Passion will be going for a 2nd float in the parade after last years success! We have the THEME CHOSEN, THIS YEAR WE DOING COUNTRY COMES TO TOWN. After last year being a learning curve we have to LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THE FLOAT, with so many people asking to be on the float we have to LIMIT it to this years NRC COMMITTEE, PRIDE COMMITTEE & those that have help plan an decorate the float. If you wish to be part of the float, we are sure there be plenty of places to walk around the float with something to carry! As the last time was a learning experience also on the procedures of the parade, we will have limited numbers allowed on the pride float so all NRC members and the volunteers who helped produce the Float will have pride of place on the Float followed by anyone who wishes to get in in touch who wishes to be on a Pride float at Belfast pride!

Basic mountain top accommodation like this is all that's needed

We will meet at 2pm ish in Carlingford and then begin our ascent of the peak. If you want to come you need to contact us either by email to nrc@gaynewry.com or Text the NRC Info Line to 075 4976 0734.

It’s Overnight on Slieve Foy so as well as bringing yourself you also need: Tent, Sleeping Bag, A supply of Water, Food and Drink, Clothes for all weathers including a change of clothes, An American Style Fridge, An Oven, Four poster bed, A TV
(Only joking about the last Four!!!)

Remember you undertake this climb at your own risk, you should have a fair level of fitness but it certainly will not be a race and the entire emphasis is on fun.

In fact if previous outings are anything to go by we may not make it to the top yet again!

Actor Con O’Neill with Parents from Dundalk and relations in the Newry Rainbow Community/ Passion Disco Committee plays an absolute blinder as Joe Meek.

Con more recently appeared on the BBC in the Five Part Drama “Criminal Justice”

Set in the backdrop of early 60’s London, TELSTAR is the story of the worlds first independent record producer, Joe Meek. A maverick genius who enjoyed phenomenal early success with TELSTAR - the biggest selling record of its time - before bad luck, depression, heartbreak and paranoia forced him into murder and suicide.

A gay, amphetamine addicted, talented but deeply troubled soul, Meek dabbled in the occult. He is already an iconic figure in the world of British pop.

Far from being a maudlin tale, this stranger than fiction true story is a satirical comic drama revealing the many sides of Joe Meek, a man who is now revered as a pioneer in the field of popular music.
