Have a peek in the workshop section of the forum, there's quite a bit in there from the last workshop James held in Leicester. Talks a lot of sense does Mr James! Very Happy

I've read all that stuff...but there's a difference between reading somebody's recount of something and experiencing it for one's self...frankly, I'd far rather be party to the latter in this situation... Razz

A good day was had. Thoroughly enjoyed James' session, excellent reading from Shout.

The horror session with Sarah Pinborough, Mark Morris and Tim Lebbon was fun and I want to read some of their stuff now (even if they cunningly tried to confuse everyone by not admitting to who was who, it worked as well as one of Baldrick's cunning plans...)

The day was rounded off by Iain Banks doing a reading and answering questions, have to say he was brilliantly entertaining.

If you get the chance to go next year do, it's well worth it.

As always great to catch up with forum friends Very Happy

Can only echo everything Lizzy has said above! Laughing

Saddo I might be but it was the best day out I've had in a long time! Laughing

And to echo that... it was a great day, great to see everyone again, just sorry I didn't get chance to spend more time with y'all. One of those where I would get dragged off to lots of places: but I shouldn't complain!

Next year's event should be a goodie too.

Especially if it's a weekend event as they may, may, be planning!
