Welcome to the boards KIRA-SHAY grin

Just checked, in terms of which chapter it's best located in, I'd say Farnham is part of the FF-UK South area. However, you are totally free to join in where-ever you want, there is no restriction to what chapter you get involved in. If you can make it to London meets, do it! If you can travel even further afield, great. It's up to you. But I know the FF-UK South has some great people in it, I have a few close friends in there, and I am sure they'll happily welcome you as a member.

But like I said, you can take part in other chapters as you wish. I currently roam around more than stick to any one place, been meeting London and the Scotland chapters, etc.

Fan Force UK is divided into regions (called "Chapters") - just makes it easier for people to meet/organise, have things happening local to them - basically because the core of what Fan Force is is a social group of Star Wars fans. We meet to go for cinema trips, visits to cities local to us, etc.

So FF-UK is divided into the following chapters - Scotland, North, Midlands, Wales, London and South. In the North we have two smaller groups - NE / NW - since it's still a lot of travelling from one coast to the other.

Here's your Malibu & Coke. And welcome! I wander around these parts, but I'm an Aussie. Don't know if I still count as an honoary member here...

For a moment, I thought you were talking about singer John Farnham when you mentioned Farnham. I'm such an idiot, cause he's an Aussie (born in England though) and you've probably never heard of him!

Thanks for the drink, Nat! wink
Ah, but if you're from southern Australia, then you're a southerner, no? grin If not, oh well, I have no problems with an imposter southerner... wink

Afraid you're right... I've never heared of John Farnham... confused

Hi guys! Yup, Andover's about 30mins from Salisbury, but believe it or not - that's where I'm originally from.... Small world, eh? shock And I'd be up for a meet happy (Afraid Im a bit limited on travel options though... sad )

It is indeed. I met a few people at uni who live near Salisbury. It's kinda freaky.

Nat's ace, she's been a part of the FF-UK for as long as I can remember, a valued member. She even came to see us last year cool grin

As for John Farnham, he's an Aussie musician, the main song I remember is "You're the Voice" (check here - http://www.johnfarnham.com.au/audioVideo/home.do ), loved that one!

I will still be up for a meet in Bath, though way things are panning out this year (and me having to definitely consider money atm) it may be better for me to visit next year. Some big conventions still to come this year.

Could you make it to London? There is a convention on the first weekend in September called London Film and Comic Con, a think a few people are planning to attend.
