TAGS was formed in 1982 out of the local branch of CHE (Campaign for Homosexual Equality), which had been meeting in Littlehampton for eight years. They operate primarily as a social group for the LGBT community in the southern part of West Sussex, but some members do come from much further afield.
They meet informally, usually twice each month, once in a seafront hotel bar in Worthing and the other times at member’s homes for coffee evenings or special laid-on parties.
