&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''Octopus''' is a gay social group based around [[East London]] as the [[Essex]] borders. Regular activities include weekly social events, occasional parties, theme nights and barbecues, which are always held in the homes of members. There are also occasional days out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group was founded in 1978 in [[Braintree]] to cater for the needs of gay people. Due to local demand, the [[East London and Essex Borders Group]] was established as a separate and independent group in April 1982.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.octopusgroup.org.uk/OctopusHistory.html Octopus Group: History&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
