I have spent much of today working on social media publicity for Bristol’s part in the 2016 National Festival of LGBT History. There’s a lot going on.

The main events are on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st. However, I’m still working on stuff for other days, some of which involves Stuart Milk. Hopefully we’ll have announcements on that soon. One of the reasons I have been slightly frazzled of late is that I got a message saying, “Stuart got a call from Archbishop Tutu asking if he can go to Cape Town for a few days”. Because that’s the sort of thing that happens to Stuart.

Meanwhile my genius graphic design pal, Ceri Jenkins, has been producing the most amazing banners and such. The one above is intended for use on Facebook and you can see it in action here. I also have a pinned tweet these days. Slowly but surely Ceri is dragging me into the 21st Century.

By the way, if you have an event that needs social media promotion, Ceri does this stuff for a living. I can put you in touch.

Of course most of you won’t be in Bristol to see any of this happen. However, I will also be giving talks in London on February 6th and Manchester on February 27th. More news of those in due course.
