The trustees of Pride in Brighton and Hove acknowledge the passion of the views expressed at yesterday's public meeting and similarly acknowledge that, although acting with the best intentions, mistakes have been made by Pride.

While there were many positive suggestions aired at the meeting, we cannot
ignore our... critics, many of whom have been long time supporters of Pride.

Trustees will be meeting tomorrow evening and at the top of the agenda will be
an exploration of how we can reach out to businesses and all other parts of the community to enable us to work together ensuring that a safe and viable Pride Summer festival takes place in 2010 - something everyone clearly wants.
