These pictures are of our World AIDS Day and Festive Frolics condom ministries in late 2005, including A Nightmare A'fore Christmas—a Gothic ball which allowed us to reach out to a number of the Gathered Faithful not normally found on the lesbian and gay scene, particularly those identifying as bisexual, transvestite and transexual. Also included is a picture of the blessing of the Cecil Sinclair Archive in early 2006.
Cecil Sinclair was an Edinburgh gay activist, and Lothian Gay and Lesbian Switchboard have named their new archive room in his honour.
