Croydon Pride has meant two different things over the years: a Pride frstivalin Croydon in 1993, and a website from 2002 to 2006.
1993
There was a Croydon Pride in June 1993.[1] It included events at
- the Bird in Hand
- the Hollybush (Crystal Palace)
- [[PJs (Thornton Heath)
- Streets Bar (Penge)
Buses were laid on to take people to the Pride Parade in central London and then on to the Pride Festival in Brockwell Park.
The Croydon Pride brochure listed seven participating groups:
- the Croydon Pride Organising Group
- CAGS
- CAGY
- Croydon Friend
- the Croydon Lesbian and Gay Monitor
- the Croydon Lesbian Social Support Group
- the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
The following year however Croydon Pride was dissolved through lack of support, but the CAGS banner continued to be carried in the Pride Parade.
2002–2006
Croydon Pride was also the name of a website funded by Croydon Health Promotion as a community resource for the LGBT communities of Croydon. It was launched in 2002 to coincide with the Croydigras festival of events promoted by Croydon LGBT Forum.[2]
The site appears to have disappeared for several years, possibly hacked, but reappeared in 2006, this time clearly branded as the website of Croydon LGBT Forum.[3]
