LGBT rugby festival
Rolls-Royce RFC are hosting a festival for rugby clubs with predominantly gay membership at their Moorways ground tomorrow.
The event, starting at 2pm, is being held as part of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans (LGBT) History Month.
Panthers RFC, the East Midlands' gay and gay-friendly rugby club, based at Rolls-Royce, will be taking part, along with the Bristol Bisons, Newcastle Ravens, Manchester Village Spartans and London side Kings Cross Steelers.
Nic Scott, the Rugby Football Union's equality and inclusion manager, said: "The RFU is committed to supporting a game that welcomes everyone, whatever their background.
"We were honoured to be asked to host the launch of LGBT History Month last year and this event was supported by these five clubs.
"The consensus from them was that we should hold an event to support LGBT History Month and Derby seemed the best location for a festival."
