| Saturday 30th May 2009 |
Come along and celebrate our big 2-0! Yes, it is the TWENTIETH Midlands Xenafest on Saturday 30th May 2009, an event not to be missed. Once again it will be taking place at Menzies Baron's Court Hotel in Walsall. Mark it in your diaries, Saturday 30th May 2008 is when we'll all get together again to compare notes on who has been to the most Xenafests (I'd win that one I reckon!) and argue over the best and worst Xena episodes, how much we like Lucy's singing and why some people didn't go to the Xena convention last May! (You know who you are..!) Been before? Do come again and meet up with old friends. Newbie? Come along and try it out. We were thrilled to welcome a few new people last time. It's Xena:Warrior Princess - the Next Generation!

We start at 12 noon with the usual mixture of music videos, clips and episodes (programme to be confirmed), the amazing raffle, my super duper quiz, the mystery lucky dip and the now legendary charity auction - and there are some really great items available, so bring your cheque books/credit/debit card! There will be a buffet supper and all this for the bargain price of £12.We have the room until late, so expect the now traditional Xenafest party well into the night!
We have negotiated a special discounted room rate at the Baron's Court. Guests staying at the hotel will get full use of the amenities, which include sauna, gym, swimming pool and restaurant.
You can book a room at the Baron's Court Hotel at a special discount rate by telephoning 0871 472 4012 and asking for reservations. Do mention the Xenafest and ask for the special room rate.
All proceeds from the event are going to charity - as always. We will once again be supporting the excellent Walsall Breast Cancer Support Group and also the Coventry Myton Hospice Appeal
We are always amazed at the generosity of Xena fans, and we are delighted to have raised so much money over the last 19 fests.
