    I had a Domino's the other day. It was probably the best pizza I have ever tasted. It was the first time i've been to Domino's, and I got to say, as much as I love the Hut, Domino's is a slightly better pizza.

    Though you can't sit down and eat it, which is the only draw back.

    Really? Wow I've never had Domino's but I suspected that it was a good pizza place due to the fact that they are a large company and havnt gone bankrupt. I personaly arnt keen on putting like loads of toppings on a pizza, just prefer the good 'ol fashion cheese and tomato.

    If I remember rightly there wasnt a date on the flyer that got handed out but it said 'Christmas' on it so I'm guessing sometime arround the 24th of December... just a random guess though. :p

    The date of the Cardiff Con is December 17th.

    There's also one in Newport in October. Hopefully we can get quite a few people to go to that one, mainly because people will be too skint to attend the Christmas one, which is understandable I suppose.

    It's amazing how much damage just 3 posters can cause isn't it? ;)

    I think we'll all going to need a good lay down after all of this.

    My head is starting to spin!

    I'm glad we're sharing the conversation between the 3 over us of lots of threads to make it look like the board is more active, together we can make Wales great as long as nobody looks too closely :p

    Exactly! no-one comes here and that's the problem, so no-one will notice!

    You present a very valid point, good observation, that hadnt occured to me that if no one came here then no one would notice. Nice. :p

    Beware of the Tim, he's always lurking somewhere. :p

    But we do pretty much have the run of the place, but i'm sure we'll get quite a few more posters interested in the movie club idea when they have a look around during the more sociable hours.

    Or at least I hope we will.

    Now that a meet has taken place, hopefully things will pick up. Particularly with two local conventions coming up

    whether new posters will be as into the 1.30am chats i'm not sure

    *delurks* (works like decloaking, but is fancier and more sfx :p )

    Here's a thought ... why not make a poster for FF-UK: Wales, print it out, then stick it in local sci-fi related shops? Advertise yourselves. I can help with making you the poster, we can also mention the Newport/Cardiff events.

    There isnt any sci-fi related shops where I live. :p The closest thing is "The Music Store" which sells dvd's and posters.

    There's Forbbiden Planet and the Comic Guru in Cardiff off the top of my head that might do it

    Comic Guru will definitely allow a poster to be put up. He even goes to these events himself anyway. Not sure on FB. Worth asking suppose.

    FB allowed posters in Liverpool, and somewhere else, we can ask. I need to consult my master list of comic shops and see what else is in Wales, we need to target all Wales, hope people will travel ;)

    Ooooo ... good, always best if someone in chapter can do their own stuff. You and your CR need to chat about details, but I'll look for examples. You may be best doing a changeable one - for the current one include say a "Next meet: Newport" and give details, etc.

    Well heres a example of my work... http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/7505/dsjuly11thbwsmalllv7.jpg

    Well everything on that ^^^ poster is changeable (text wise) so theres no problem there with changable stuff.

    I also have a contact in a printers near me, can get 100 A5 glossy prints for £5 (usualy its £8.50) if thats any help. :p
