Events / 2000 AD Southern Contingent Pre-Christmas Gathering - Sat 12TH November 2016

« on: 25 August, 2016, 12:57:28 PM »

It's the last one before Christmas and with stories fresh from Thought Bubble in our heads, what better way to end the year than a gathering for tales, drinking, food and fun.

SAT 12th Nov 2016 in that there London

If you've never been to one then why not start now and have an enjoyable time. We all meet up at Forbidden Planet on Shaftesbury Avenue between 12:00 - 13:00 and then wander down Neal Street (opposite the shop) and into The Crown and Anchor, which is on the left and is a corner building.

I know many people can't get to conventions and therefore never see members of the 2000 AD community, be it from here or facebook. This is a social event when you can meet a few of us, putting names to faces and just relax, have a pint, chat about anything and feel welcomed by everyone.

I hope we see a few new faces from the many new arrivals to the forum!

Events / 2000 AD Southern Contingent Summer Gathering - 16th July - 2016

« on: 26 June, 2016, 05:20:07 PM »

You know the drills by now

16th July from 13:00 onwards, GOSH Comics and The Crown and Anchor, London

Seeing as there is a fantastic signing on this day at GOSH Comics (McMahon and Bolland and the Cursed Earth collection) it would be rude not to gather and drink the day and night away.

The signing is at GOSH Comics between 13:00-14:00 and we will be in our usual haunt afterwards (I'm sure some may be there before) If you just want to come along to the pub and miss out the madness of the signing then here's a link to the CROWN AND ANCHOR

The gathering is family friendly and if you have any questions then post away. We also have a Facebook page, which tells you everything and you'll see a few pictures on there that show you what we get up to. If there are any new members on the forum who live near London, then this is a way to meet others from here, drink, chat and have a good time.

Off Topic / RIP W. R. Logan

« on: 21 May, 2016, 04:46:11 PM »

It's with great sadness that I have to inform the forum that our very own W. R. Logan aka Stewart Perkins has passed away this morning, while stationed in Norway.

I've just finished talking to his girlfriend Deborah and that's the only information that she knows at the moment in time. As she becomes aware of more information, then she will pass it on and I'll post it up here.

For those who don't know, Stewart helped John Wagner out whenever he needed any facts, basically he was his encyclopedia of Dredd. For his help John kept torturing Judge Logan in the Dredd strip and I'm lucky to have a page of Dredd with Logan in it, minus his arm.

Stewart did a lot of work for the 2000 AD groups in the early days of the internet and was well known for his Class of '79 chat group on Yahoo.

A frequent visitor to conventions and all the Dreddcons. I can still see him sat outside a cafe with Colin MacNeil, while waiting for the Pub to open for Dreddcon 6.5.

The last time I saw him was when himself and Deborah came to one of the Southern Contingent Gatherings last year and we all had a blast.

To say I am shocked is an understatement and I shall raise a glass to my good friend tonight.

Farewell Stewart, you will be missed xxx
