16th July - Film Night: ‘The Duke’
Set in Newcastle in the early 60’s, this is the true story of taxi driver, Kempton Bunton, who supposedly stole Goya’s painting of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery and afterwards sent out ransom notes stating that the painting would only be returned when the government invested more in the care of the elderly.

We take up the challenge and explore further the retort that is sometimes thrown at GMT: “Just because we are gay doesn’t mean that we have anything in common”.
