Hi everyone,
Just a quick email to the Bi Cymru/Wales mailing list.
Dates for 3 of the main UK Bi events have been confirmed for this year.
They are:
Brighton Bifest - 7th March
London Bifest - 16th May
Bicon 2009 - Worcester - 20th-24th August
More info on the bifests can be found at www.bifest.org and on BiCon
at www.bicon2009.org.uk
Bifests are 1 day events with workshops and usually evening social
spaces to discuss and explore aspects of bisexuality and related topics.
BiCon is a weekend annual event with a wide range of workshops and
evening entertainments.
As with everything else in the Bi community they are run by volunteers
who give up the time and energy to do them and are funded by the entry
prices, which are kept as low as possible.
As always details will also be listed in Bi Community News, the only
UK bisexual magazine www.bicommunitynews.co.uk
I will definately be at BiCon so if you're planning to go please feel
free to come and chat to me and find a friendly face.
On the Bi Cymru/Wales front we have recently been approached by
Stonewall Cymru to carry out a mini survey on bisexual issues in the
workplace, so I'll be contacting you all again soon with details of
that, so get your thinking caps on.
We're also planning a Wales bifest, if we can get either a free venue
or some funding together and would love some help getting it sorted
and on the day if anyone is interested.
Please let us know what else you think we could/should be doing
(bearing in mind we have zero funding at the moment) and with any
offers of volunteering or help.
I hope to see you soon.
Ele
Bi Cymru/Wales treasurer
