March 3rd, 2022LGBTIQA+ at Birds of a Feather lunch

A panel of diverse guests will discuss all manner of topics at next week’s Birds of a Feather lunch in Kyneton.
ChillOut Festival’s president Matt Clarke, army veteran Yvonne Sillett, Pride Foundation Australia’s board member Ian Gould and Bendigo’s drag icon Polly Filla will chat about their work, their connection to the community and their LGBTIQA+ regional lived experience.
Coinciding with the start of Daylesford’s 25th ChillOut Festival which runs over the Labour Day weekend, the question and answer session organised by Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s Country LGBTI Inclusive Program is open to adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex.
“With a nod to ChillOut’s silver jubilee theme of ‘our time to shine’ we pay homage to LGBTIQA+ people shining across Central Victoria,” says CLIP volunteer and organiser Nathan Allwood. “The Birds of a Feather quarterly luncheons aim to enrich the lives of local LGBTIQA+ adults by providing a safe and affirming space to share their stories.”
The Birds of a Feather lunch and Q&A will take place on Friday, March 11, 12pm-2.30pm at the Shamrock Hotel, Kyneton. RSVPs are essential at belinda.brain@scchc.org.au or 5421 1666. Transport and payment options are available if either of these are a barrier to anyone attending.
