BP Big Screen 2011

The Blog is up and running again, after a frustrating day of technical glitches throughout the Blogoshere.

I have re-issued my articles about the Leigh Baronets and Norroy & Ulster King of Arms.

Welcome news: The BP Summer Big Screen is returning to Belfast this summer, following an absence during 2010. I thought the Botanic Gardens were a good venue, though it is being held in the grounds of City Hall, Donegall Square, Belfast this year.

Here's the information:

What I need to know before I attend:

In the interest of public safety, the following conditions will apply in Donegall Square:

• Donegall Square is a public space; however organisers reserve the right to limit audience numbers should the square capacity be reached.
• Alcohol is not permitted.
• Prohibited items include, but are not restricted to, large parasols, gazebos, awnings and portable barbecues.
• All litter should be disposed of in the bins provided or taken home.
