For the other dates it may be worthwhile checking with the Box Office, to see if they've had returns. The FAQ contains the box office phone numbers in addition to the tour schedule and other venue information.

| July C&G is up on website ... but mailing list copy is delayed |
more from same (The Goodies) |
The July edition of the Goodies Clarion & Globe newsletter is now available on the website, either from the "Articles/Guides" option in the menu on the left or from the "Last Articles" box at the bottom of this page.
For those club members who have subscribed to the Newsletter mailing list, I sent the C&G to the mail server over 45 minutes ago but still haven't received a copy back yet to authorise for distribution. I won't be back online for another 24 hours now, so hopefully I'll be able to send your e-mail copies of the newsletter then.

| Bill visits another school to discuss honeybee awareness |
more from same (The Goodies) |
This article comes from http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/newsindex/display.var.1537962.0.oddie_is_the_bees_knees.php, which includes a small photo of Bill with the school children. You've got to love the first sentence in the article:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oddie is the bees’ knees! By Ben Barnett There was an excited buzz about Oakworth Primary School as wildlife presenter Bill Oddie and the Sugar Puffs' Honey Monster came to visit.
Children spent weeks investigating "the wonderful world of bees" as part of a campaign to promote awareness about honeybees.
The children created a wall display, counted bees in maths and learned about their body in science earn prizes as one of only eight winning schools nationwide.
In addition to the celebrity visit, the school also won plant pots to grow sunflowers, a measuring chart to map their growth and flags.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, "there was an excited buzz...[as] Bill Oddie and the Sugar Puffs' Honey Monster came to visit". When have you ever heard *that* said before?

| new start date for "About A Dog" / Bill on "Buzzcocks" this week |
more from same (British Comedy) |
It appears the second series "About a Dog", which was written by Graeme, will start on Tuesday July 10th instead of this week, as we'd originally been told.
Also, a reminder about the repeat of Bill's appearance on "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" this coming Wednesday, July 4th.
Another item of note is the television version of "Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off ... to Glastonbury" on BBC4 this Friday, July 6th at 10:00pm. Graeme has provided material to the radio version; we don't know if he was involved in the television version but it's probably worth checking out (thanks to Sosia for spotting this).

| Kitten Kon C&G with photo galleries |
more from same (The Goodies) |
And now for a second new addition to the Articles/Guides section this week ... I've posted up a copy of the special Clarion & Globe newsletter from our club's greatest triumph - the Kitten Kon convention which was held in Melbourne in 2000.
This edition not only has colour photos added to it, but I've also set up two photo galleries containing images of some of the people and events at the convention. If you have any of your own Kitten Kon photos of events or attendees that you think would be a worthwhile addition, please contact me at clarion@goodiesruleok.com
This article will eventually find a home in the Clarion & Globe subsection but for now it can be found under the "Miscellaneous" part of the Articles/Guides section, or in the Last Articles box at the bottom of this page
