Birchington Mini Convention (East Kent)

The word is that the convenor for this year's Birchington Mini Convention is a cult member - a regular at both cult groups - Tankerton Tuesday and Kearsney Wednesday. Still it should greatly simplify the choice of speakers for the event - we predict contributions from the local cult groups, maybe a showing or two from the Medway (Strood Thursday et al) gang, and perhaps even an import from the "smoke", with perhaps a suitably "co-opted" local "bleeding deacon" whose ego has been suitably massaged in advance, just to lend the occasion that touch of AA authenticity. Or then again perhaps it would just be easier to play a few CDs from the "fly-in" circuit speaker brigade and maybe abandon the convention altogether. Whatever happens we hope that the attendees at the event have a strong stomach - and an inordinate capacity to listen to prolonged, identical sharing as clone after clone rehearses those well known cult tag lines, demonstrating thereby an almost complete eradication of independent thought: "My sponsor says.....", "....happy, joyous and free....", "misery is optional" blah blah blah ad nauseam. That's all it takes to recover folks! - the ability to string a few clichés together, and play the part to the bitter end!!

Enjoy
