		<description><![CDATA[BiFest events happen all over the UK and increasingly often these days &#8211; in the first half of this year they are lined up for Oxford, Cardiff and London, and that&#8217;s just the ones we know about. The first &#8220;BiFest&#8221; one-day-long bi awareness-raising festival was in February 1999 in London at the UCL on Malet Street. It included a bisexual march long nearby streets that drew 49 people &#8211; just short of the 50 required by the police for it to be allowed on the road. That meant that what would have blocked off a small strip of road instead occupied a long stretch of pavement as the bisexuals had to march more or less two by two. So far as we know that makes it a double first &#8211; the first BiFest and the first bi parade. Unless you know better? &#160; Submit your favourite bi people and events to remember for LGBT History Month – see here for details]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oxford&#8217;s first BiFest in 2010 was an excellent day out with lots of bi and bifriendly people and a packed programme of discussion spaces, dancing and more. That set the bar high so perhaps it&#8217;s no wonder it has taken 2 years for another Oxford BiFest to come together! But we&#8217;re delighted to report that a date has been set of Saturday, 31 March 2012. They say: &#8220;We will have a bar with plenty of space for socialising, workshops on bisexuality and what it means and how it effects us, and a disco in the evening.&#8221; The venue will be the East Oxford Community Centre and a Facebook page for the event is up, along with a page on the BiFest hub site (where you can also find out about similar events elsewhere). More news nearer the time!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tis the season to write reviews of the year, so jumping on a bandwagon for once&#8230; Our bi year highlights: * The biggest UK BiCon ever with 297 people over four days in Leicester * Bi Visibility Day on 23rd September having a bigger profile than ever &#8211; Bi Day website september23 reported double the traffic they had in 2010 (and two bi events marking LGBT History Month &#8211; not a lot, but twice the previous best!) * Good bi coverage from Auntie for once as Tom Robinson talked bi past and bi present on Radio 4 * That New York Times headline breaking the shock news that Bisexual Men Exist. * Bi community activists being invited to Obama&#8217;s White House LGBT reception (sadly the same didn&#8217;t seem to happen over here for Number 10&#8242;s LGBT shin-dig) * Jessie J as an out bi woman sweeping the boards at the Mobo awards * Bristol BiVisible launching Greedy, the first regular bi club night in the UK since the Fencesitter&#8217;s Ball closed down * Manchester BiPhoria launching Getting Bi In A Gay/Straight World, a very pretty and pocketable publication * Four people presented with Cake Awards recognising their work in and [...]]]></description>
