Does a permanent all-year-round gay community of people living together really exist as part of ECC? I know about your gay men's weeks, which I'll sooner or...
Hi Jose As yet there is no such physical community established. There have been many attempts over the years, and one of our members is trying to record them...
Hi José, You should check out the Queer In Community web page at http://www.ic.org/qic/ They have a list of gay and gay-friendly communities in the U.S. Yossi...
Well I think there are plenty of (substantially) gay households around. Whether they would count as communities or not is moot. What does count as a...
I guess what I understand by "community" is any group of gay men living together as a "family", supporting each other when old age comes and so on... I mean an...
Hi José, I definitely see your point. I'm 39, but have already come to the same conclusion as you have about forming a community of like-minded people instead...
José said "I mean who needs a boyfriend as a solution to your loneliness when you can have daily sharing with a more or less large group of people around?" I...
Sounds ideal although probably extremly hard to run as ego's and attitude all too often get in the way. I have a friend who was raised from childhood in a...
Thanks for the comments. I would certainly be happy with that as a definition of community, though I suspect it is not the only one. For myself, I have a...
Maybe somewhere easy and informal, relaxed and sociable for gay men to meet and spend a few days where the prices are VERY reasonable and the ocean is a 10...
Hello everyone - I am a new member (Mike) - I'm posting to ask if anyone can recall who ran a fantastic workshop some years back on a Lauriston week which was...

Thanks for that but it does not ring any bells..... still hoping for the elusive answer!! I might try to find Stewart's stuff though as well if you think it is...

Why are we suddenly getting these annoying e mails, and then an annoying spam that has nothing to do with ECC or anyone associated with it ? I don't mind...

Hi All Sorry about the recent spate of spam. I think it was clear from the group description that the multiple advertising being sent was not within what the...
Thankyou for sorting out the dreaded spam mailings we were receiving. I wasn't aware that membership of this e mail group was open to everyone who wanted to...
After writing an e mail concerning the dreaded spam that was recently sent through to this e mail group and how no-one else complained except me, I have to...
You're right of course John. Unfortunately so many people are unwilling for whatever reason to put their ideas or points of view into email form. I really...
Hi John... I think maybe you are not aware of the nature of this group? It is aptly named "ECC-public-discuss" With an emphasis on the 'public' This is the...
Thanks for that. I don't actually know how I got on this e mail list as this was the first l;oad of e mails I have received from it... I also didn't know...
Thankyou for that chris jeffries. Considering I have never ever had a single e mail from this 'public discuss' group, and considering I have also never signed...
