Also from the Caption livejournal,

Tony Keen is putting together a British Amateur Press Association commemorative issue, in memory of Steve Whitaker. Contributions accepted from any of Steve's pals, you don't have to be B-APA people.

"If you want to contribute, please contact me at keentony at hotmail dot com. I'm looking for contributions of 1-2 pages, by mid-July, preferably as camera-ready copy. Thanks to those who have already agreed to be involved." (Lj)

Caption 2008 is to be held on 9th-10th August this year with the Timewarp theme (new timey-wimey website by the excellent Mr. Cugley) Will be at the venue its been in the last two years, the East Oxford Community Centre (OX4 1HU). This will be Caption's 17th year (really), and its expected there will be the usual session the Friday night before as well.

Running at the Oxford Jam Factory (OX1 1HU) over the month of August is a sibling event of sorts: a month long exhibition featuring the works of Jeremy Dennis, David Baillie, Dierdre Ruane, Andrew Luke, D'Israeli and Terry Wiley, with perhaps others to be announced.

More details to emerge on both of these as we're ready to release them.

Jay Eales has a post on the Caption livejournal explaining the significance and putting out a call for artwork,

"now accepting illustrations/ comic strips on the Timewarp theme for inclusion in the convention programme/ exhibition/ auction. Contact Jay Eales for more info at: jay.eales @ googlemail.c om."

A Caption flyer is available upon request as a pdf for those of you who wish to distribute them.
