Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful event yesterday. (Sorry I had to leave early). The people I met, talked to and played with were lovely and a lot of that is linked to the amazing work you do in building a fantastic sense of community - thank you!

I've caved and created a substack where I'll post bloggish things in relation to my critical edition of George Moore's 'Confessions of a Young Man' every Monday for the next few weeks.

Along the same lines - here's a blog post asking 'Who was George Moore' (in case you don't know who he is - or indeed why you should read my critical edition of his novel 'Confessions of a Young Man'):

Previous posts discussed the plot (such as it is) and the autobiographical origins of Confessions of a Young Man. So I'm hoping it is obvio...
