Polyday!
Apologies to anyone receiving this three times over. I wanted to share the message I sent out this morning for the benefit of anyone not a member of bicon or polydayness on LJ, and add a couple of extra thoughts.
I haven't written much yet about polyamory and what it means to me, but I will be. Poly isn't so much a thing that I do, as what I am - it's always been a part of my self definition, despite adverse conditions, so the existence of events like Polyday is important to me - which is why I stepped in to help run it when it looked like otherwise it wasn't going to happen.
I am extremely grateful to the members of my poly 'family' who have already helped out, and got us this far down the road. Particularly werenerd - you've been brilliant, love.
Details of Polyday are below:
Polyday - 26th September at Dragon Hall, Central London
It's time to open up your diaries and write POLYDAY in indelible ink on the 26th of September!
This year we've put in a bit of extra work and found a lovely new venue at Dragon Hall, near Holborn (Central London). Details are on the website at www.polyday.org.uk
The schedule for the daytime event is not yet settled, but will be posted here, and on the website nearer to the day. Workshops and discussions will run from 1.30pm until 6.30pm, and will be divided into three 'threads': Poly for beginners, Advanced Poly, and Open to All.
Evening ents this year will be treated as a separate event, as we're hoping to put on something a little special - a cabaret and social, with live performances from guest entertainers. The cabaret will run from 7pm until 10.30pm.
I look forward to seeing you all! (I hope to be at BiCon, too)
