EuroGames are the largest annual LGBT sports event in Europe, and are run under the patronage of EGLSF by its member clubs. Besides offering a high-quality sport event to the gay and lesbian sports community, the following goals are being promoted through EuroGames: fight against discrimination in sport on grounds of sexual preference, stimulate integration in sport and emancipation of lesbians and gays, enable and support the coming out of gay and lesbian sports men and women and support the founding of new gay, lesbian, straight and mixed groups. | | Related URL link: 2008.eurogames.info | | Submitted by: EGLSF | | | | | | | Multisports | Conference | United Kingdom |  03. July 2008 | | UK LGBT Sports Summit | Saturday June 14th saw LGBT sports organisers from throughout the UK attend the first National LGBT Sports Summit in Manchester. The inaugural event was attended by more than 50 delegates representing LGBT sports clubs, and national and international sports organisations, including EGLSF, as well as representatives from sports National Governing Bodies.
Organisers, Pride Sports, the Manchester based LGBT Sorts Development Company see the event as a huge success. Company Directors, Lou Englefield and Trevor Burchick told us:
"It was a great day. Everyone who attended had a real commitment to make things happen and to see LGBT sport moved higher up the national agenda. There was also a real passion amongst delegates to work more closely together in the future."
Two key outcomes of the Summit will be the establishment of a UK LGBT sports network through which sports organisers can share information about events and activities, highlight examples of good practice and pool resources. Another outcome is to be an annually held National Summit. Pride Sports will be looking for resources to make sure both these goals are achieved. | | Related URL link: www.pridesports.org | | Submitted by: Pride Sports | | | | | | | MULTISPORTS | EG08 Tickets | Spain |  16.
