Hello Everyone,
I hope you have had an enjoyable Christmas and have managed to avoid over indulgence on the food and liquor front!
It has been utterly brilliant to be guesting at shows again and many thanks to everyone who came along and wished me well after my health woes over the summer. According to the results of a scan I had in September, the condition of the area in question has very much improved and I am feeling absolutely fine. However I shall continue with the dietary and naturopathic protocols which I believe have contributed massively to my recovery.
The 2026 schedule is coming together and listed below are the confirmed events so far…
SHEFFIELD COMIC-CON February 8th Ponds Forge International Centre
BRIGHTON COMIC-CON February 21st Brighton Racecourse
LONDON COMIC-CON SPRING March 1st Olympia
CARDIFF COMIC-CON April 11th Utilita Arena
LEICESTER COMIC-CON April 18th Leicester Arena
MAIDSTONE COMIC-CON May 2nd Maidstone Leisure Centre
BARRY CARD AND COLLECTOR CON May 16th and 17th Barry Memorial Hall, Vale of Glamorgan
UK GAMES EXPO May 30th and 31st Hilton Birmingham Metropole NEC
HASTINGS COMIC-CON June 20th and 21st White Rock Theatre

During 2022 I became an Ambassador for Nature’s Haven whose mission is to enable the community to access and learn about the therapeutic and health benefits of gardening and nature and I would like to extend my thanks to all of you who have donated to this forward thinking, Not-For-Profit organisation. For more information please go to www.natureshaven.net or Instagram natures.haven.garden
I will continue to support small local charities directly, including those which support veterans and ex-servicemen and women. I believe that the treatment by the State of those who have been prepared to pay the ultimate price has been nothing short of shocking.
Here’s wishing you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Best Wishes
Chris Barrie
