	There's a (fairly new) Forbidden Planet megastore at the Triangle in Bristol. Only a couple of minutes from my department at uni.

	On my holiday I discovered a nice little Sci-Fi and Fantasy shop in broadstairs called Time & Space. Looks like a good place to go if you like Dr Who and Lord of the Rings. They weren't particually well stocked on Star wars things, but I found a couple of good items. Also a good place to go if you like things like Warhammer. The Shopkeeper there was at LFCC as part of the 501st. I have also given them a couple of South Posters and Fliers, which may help the South recruit some people from that area.
