Hull’s 10% will once again be visiting Jo's Nautical Bar at Pemberton on Wednesday night September 15th for a chance to meet former 10% members and new 10% residents.

If you have not been to Jo’s you are missing a Hull Treasure.  There is an outdoor patio and hopefully we will get some of the folks coming off the commuter boats to join us.

We were hoping to see folks around 7:00 pm but, whatever works for you is great.

There is nothing formal, just a bunch of folks who live in Hull stopping in for a beverage after work or after a day on the beach.

Please pass this message on to your friends and neighbors who have moved to Hull and wonder where all the 10% people hang out.  We are gonna have a gay ole' time!  Future dates and locations to be announced.  Contact david@wickedgayblog.com for additional details, directions, questions, etc.
