I volunteer at my local Oxfam Books and held a very successful signing there for the Haiti fund. Good work, man! Best of luck with it!  :)

Just a quick heads up, there will be posters available on the day for a small fee, and some may even be signed by the artist! ;)

Also, we'll have lots of back progs of 2000ad for sale at 50p each, so you can fill those holes in your collection!

Thanks also to zombieman for going out of his way and arranging the couple of signed event posters to wing my way, and Wendy at the library for the non-signed one.  :thumbsup:
A couple of jolly nice chaps if I do say so.
