Well hope everyone enjoyed the Mr and Miss Gay Newry Competitions last night even if you didn’t win. What a crowd there was and a massive entry for both competitions.

Thanks to Brian Merriman and Jason Masterson for coming up to do the judging from Dublin. Also to Eva More and Blaine Whitley the other two Judges.
For those of you who don’t know (and I’m sure there were a few people there that still don’t!!!) the winner of Miss Gay Newry 2010 is Sarah Rowland and the Mr Gay Newry Title was won by Padraig Lynch.

Check out the Newry Democrat Story

Two very worthy winners.

I’ll get the rest of the photos up in the next day or so.

We’re all looking forward to Passion this weekend at the Brass Monkey. It’s our

annual Miss and Mr Gay Newry Competitions and always guaranteed to be fun. The winner of the Mr Gay Newry will go forward to the Mr Gay Ireland Competition in Dublin in October and then can run for Mr Gay World so the sky’s the limit.

Sadly there is no competition yet for the Miss Gay Newry to go forward to but the NRC would really encourage someone to organise a Miss Gay Ireland competition based in Newry and we would give you our full support!

Come along early on Saturday night for a great night’s craic.

The Lesbian Advocacy Service Initiative are trying to get a Girls group up and running in the Newry area so if interested you should either contact them by email at info@lasionline.org or contact an NRC Committee Member and we will get you in touch.

In the meantime they are conducting a survey on what women want and they would really appreciate your help.

Yes it’s that time of the year again and the NRC, tired of reaching the dizzy heights of

Slieve Foye each year have decided to camp closer to sea level this year and the plan is to have our overnight camping extravaganza in Tollymore Forrest Park, Newcastle on Saturday the 14th of August.

Let us know if you are interested. It’s bound to be a great bit of craic and a fantastic way to get to know people.

More information will follow as we get it
