Back in 2010 Sanji created and ran the first ever Big Bi Fun Day and when they stepped down I took over the reins in 2015. After 3 years I’ve realised that now, sadly, is the time for me to move on to other things.<\/p>\n

Leaving is no reflection of my enjoyment of organising the event. It has been a great honour and privilege to keep this piece of UK bi culture going and I have many wonderful memories from all of the afternoons I’ve spent in Leicester. Many of you will know that I have never even lived in that city myself! So hopefully that fact about me shows just how much I’ve loved doing this.<\/p>\n

I would like to say a huge thank you to Sanji, Jen Yockney, Grant, and all those who have supported me with this for the past 3-4 years.<\/p>\n

So who would like to run the Big Bi Fun Day after me?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the next 11 months you would need to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. book the usual venue<\/li>\n
  2. enjoy the rest of your summer and autumn<\/li>\n
  3. promote throughout December – May<\/li>\n
  4. turn up and run the event on the day<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It’s ideal for people who want to do something for the bi community but don’t have much time or energy. I usually do about 90% of the work for Big Bi Fun Day on my laptop whilst wearing my pajamas in bed. Then I just show up in person on the day.<\/p>\n

    You would need to be someone who is:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. organised enough to update the twitter feed, website, and facebook group from time to time<\/li>\n
    2. friendly enough to welcome all attendees on the day<\/li>\n
    3. aware enough to keep including BAME members of the bi\/pan community<\/li>\n
    4. committed to making sure Big Bi Fun Day remains a safe space for all, including bis of colour and trans bis<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I would give you a full handover and tell you everything you need to know. This is also a super easy event to run because a lot of attendees have been going since the beginning – so they just arrive and help set up without any prompting!<\/p>\n

      I’m putting this message out now so I could guide you through the entire period leading up to the next Big Bi Fun Day in May 2019 if you wanted.<\/p>\n

      Running this event will soak up some of your time, which is mostly spent on promoting it between March-May every year. But it’s been worthwhile and fun. It’s given a lot of people a good day out. It’s given a lot of people the rare opportunity to be in a bi majority space and reap the benefits that experience brings. And I’ve even put it on my CV and been offered jobs in part because of it.<\/p>\n

      If you would like to run The Big Bi Fun Day or find out more please get in touch!<\/p>\n
