After the stonking success of the first Bloggers Bash, the committee crawled under their respective duvets and hid having exhausted their supplies of extroversion.
HOWEVER, we have recovered, reconvened… discussed, deliberated…. and guess what…. we’re going to do it all over again! THE BASH IS BACK PEOPLE. The bash is really back.
If you weren’t able to make the last one because you didn’t find out in time, there’s no excuse this time. We are giving you plenty of notice. Have you ever wanted to meet up with a fellow blogger? Perhaps you made friends with someone and would love to meet them in person, or maybe you’re just nosy about who’s really behind the screen. Well now’s your chance.
The second Annual Bloggers Bash will be on:
June 11th 2016
And this time, it’s going to be even bigger and better than last year…
If you’re interested in coming, or are willing to help promote the event then drop us a line at:
annualbloggersbash (AT) yahoo (DOT) co (DOT) uk
Don’t forget the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards will be back too, but more about that in a few months.
One more thing. Last year some guy with boobs, or was it manboobs, tried to derail the bash. If you know who he is, or see him making sabotage like plans, he better watch out. Give him a message from me…
I’m coming for your Boobs.
I’ll be there with a mojito in the air! The date is in my diary!!!

The Blogger Bash is back for 2016 …. put it in the diary now if you live near enough – June 11th. An opportunity to meet those bloggers that you have been interacting with daily or weekly for the last couple of years. And a chance to see who is using 25 year old profile photos.. Time to update me thinks….

What a great way to start the month! Something to look forward to. Not sure how it could have been better, but I think the response after this year’s event shows that it can’t be anything but bigger.
This will be a great chance for those of us at the last one to reconnect in the flesh (so to speak), and for those who missed it to find out what real people look like!
Just one question: Who was the guy with manboobs? I hope Sacha doesn’t mean me…
