Croydon Area Gay Society (CAGS) held a party on Saturday afternoon (14th May) to celebrate its 40th anniversary. About 60 members and friends enjoyed the event at the Bird in Hand, Sydenham Road.

CAGS was founded in 1971, as “London Group Seven” of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE) but was always based in the Croydon area. It became an independent society when CHE nationally took the decision to concentrate on national campaigning and shed its local groups.
