Celebrate Peaches FC's 4th Birthday, with a Queer Rodeo hosted by Bonanza. Located in lower clapton, the Old Schoolrooms is a community centre who have generously offered their space for this event. Please join us for pizza, beer, cocktails, live country music and drag performances.
Beginning at 5pm with live folk music for a chilled sunny evening, and moving into drag performances and dancing later into the night. Rumours of guided line dancing. Western-theme dress code not compulsory but encouraged.
All money raised from this event will go towards funding training for Womens/queer/nb grassroots football team, Peaches FC. Funding for training and pitch spaces for grassroots women and non-cisgender football teams is criminally low and without the support of the community we have limited access to resources freely enjoyed by many cis-male football teams. Please head to Equal Playing Field's page to find out more on this topic: www.instagram.com/equal.playing.field/
In light of the FA's recent decision to exclude Trans folks from playing football, we will also be raising funds for Mermaids, a UK charity campaigning for Trans Rights. Their Active Inclusion campaign supports programs for Trans inclusion in sports, including with young Trans people. Find out more: https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/sports-inclusion/
There is a JustGiving page that is raising funds solely for Mermaids, that we are running in tandem with this event, so those not able to make it are able to donate. Please head to this link to donate: https://www.justgiving.com/page/peachesfcturns4?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_campaign=015
This is a queer-safe event but not queer exclusive. Everyone and all 18+ are welcome.
