Sounds cool Peter! tongue

Will you TCA guys have a stall just for your august publication which i think deserves its own stall!!

Also what does the 1 in 12 in the club title refer to? (With UB40 it was 1 in 10... smile )

LW, Yes we'll have a stall.

Two weeks before every book fair we circulate a code word. In exchange for this we present selected punters with a) a complimentary drink, b) a kiss, or c) a copy of Vassali Markoholov's "Khalistan Struggles: 1903-5".

It doesn't get better than that.

No indeed, a) b) and c) are all good options tongue I will make sure i get hold of the code when it is circulated... any clues on how i can become a selected punter or is it, like many aspects of life, random???
