Third Time Lucky

Stansted C of E Primary School will be lucky enough to play host to a Tommy Knight signing this June! The SJA actor will be making an appearance at the school's Summer Fete to sign autographs for, as well as take photos with, his many young fans. The event is, however, open to the general public and according to organiser Trisha Broszek, the more the merrier!

Half the money raised by Tommy will go toward benefitting the school, whilst the other half will be donated to his favoured charity, the Demelza House Children's Hospice
. If you'll recall, Tommy gave a sizeable amount to Demelza last August following a signing in Gloucester two months prior. To show our support for his cause, SARAH-JANE.tv even organised an SJA auction on eBay and donated the proceeds to Demelza for his 16th birthday! We hope to see Tom raise another considerable sum for his charity this year, so if you're in the vicinity of Kent on Saturday, June 6th between 2-5pm, be sure to pop down to the Stansted Village Green! Photos and autographs shouldn't be more than a fiver each, and there are plenty of other stalls and activities to keep you [and the rest of your family] amused for the day.

Speaking of public appearances, our very own Lis Sladen will be presenting a sci-fi concert at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic
next month! The Music from Outer Space event promises to be 'a mind-blowing journey through time with a spectacular programme of 'space inspired' science fiction music.' Come to the concert in sci-fi inspired fancy dress, and you may be in with a chance to win a family ticket to Spaceport! The exciting evening kicks off at 6pm on Saturday, April 18th - so book your tickets pronto before they sell out!

And lastly, The Sarah Jane Adventures has recently been nominated for an RTS award
for a second year running. Last year, the show lost out to My Life As A Popat in the Children's Drama category. We expect SJA may stand a better chance against fellow nominees MI High and Summerhill during this year's ceremony, taking place tomorrow evening. After missing out on a BAFTA to Alistair Fury last November, here's hopin' third time's the charm!

Huh, what an odd place to hold a signing! I'm assuming that they have some connection to the school, and not that the headteacher just randomly thought "hey, let's have a nice summer fete and ring up some CBBC stars!". :P Not something I would ever have expected at any of my primary school fetes, that's for sure!

*goes to look at calendar hopefully*

Thou mustest goeth!

Erm yeah...Old English makes everything sound that much cooler :P

The organiser's husband is friends with Tommy Knight's dad it seems, but yeah - what an odd place to hold a signing. From my google image search of the venue, it's basically a carbon copy of Foxgrove. Which is nice, for a change. But not the sorta place you'd imagine people going around dressed as Who villains :P

I try to stay as informed on this stuff as possible :P A little research and a few phonecalls go a long way :)

Hmm, it's the day after my two most important exams, Maths and Physics. :o And there's one more exam after that on the 11th, which is a good while afterwards. I must pull strings!
