Hello! The Birmingham Comics Festival is happening on Saturday, 23 April 2016 and I thought that might be a good event to hang the next BIG (Birmingham Informal Gathering) on. The web site is here: www.thecomicfestival.com/homeLew "Robo-Capers" Stringer is one of the guests. I've never been to Edgbaston Stadium before, but it's but a mile from the city centre and there are plenty of buses. So, if any of you are up for an informal gathering in the springtime, sound out below! -- Graham |

Potentially yes, but I need to see Liz's Saturday teaching dates for next year and I've also got a feeling we have holiday booked at about that time.

Yes, it's exactly three months to the day that it'll be taking place.
I shall get a wee flyer put together tomorrow with all the info.

Mike Collins as well!
I should be able to make it, depending on how it lines up with the Bond cinema screenings I'm attending across the first five months of the year.

Yay! Was that the RetroG1 one?
Which "BIG" number was it? 4?

The only reason I know this is that there was a big 4 on the cover and it confused me because I couldn't remember us making 3 other fanzines!

I think that was the first group one. Prior to that I think I did special editions of my old fanzine.

I don't have mine anymore. The only fanzine I've worked on that I didn't manage to keep my copy of. But Mike collins is going to be at this thing? Awesome, I've worked with him but never met him.  |

So are people up for this then? Just looking at the site, ticket price is £10 which isn't terrible I guess...

Yes, definitely!
And I'm going to book a hotel room for Saturday night, too.

No chance now for me. I need to save up to replace my Windows computer machine after it died suddenly.

Finances currently are a shambles, so I may not be able to book a hotel and just make a day trip out of it.
