		<description><![CDATA[This Saturday (March 31st) is the second Oxford BiFest, a day-long celebration and exploration of bi life. The organisers say: Whether you&#8217;re bisexual, bi-curious or bi-friendly, you&#8217;re welcome to join us. We’re planing on lots of socialising, introducing people who may not have found the large, vibrant and diverse communities of other bisexuals to each other, and forging new friendships in speed friending. There will be workshops running from 11:30am &#8211; 6pm, including &#8216;speed friending&#8217;, &#8216;getting bi in a gay-straight world&#8217; (experiences of being bisexual), and ), &#8216;bi basics&#8217; (coming out, finding bisexuals, bisexual groups/spaces). There will be a break for lunch and dinner where you can enjoy the culinary delights of Cowley Road. Watch this space for more workshops as they&#8217;re confirmed! There will be a DJ in the evening, and the bar will be open from midday, so there&#8217;ll also be plenty of opportunity to let you hair down! There will be a separate space for socialising, so if you don&#8217;t want want to go to all (or any) of the workshops you&#8217;re welcome to hang out and make new friends. Oxford BiFest will take place at the East Oxford Community Centre from 11am to 11pm on Saturday [...]]]></description>

		<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>
