Order of the Golden Sprout The New Robert Rankin Fan Club

The Spaceman and the Space crab, which is better?

There's only one way to find out - Fiiiiight.

How to cut a cake for over 50 people.

Robert at a loss - it appears someone has pinched his R's

Chantelle gets all Van Gogh on us.

The space crab unmasked - tis Robert, and surely the Princess showing her skills on the Pan must therefore be none other than Rachel.

The Princess and the Space Crab - Oooer.

And I'm telling you - my beer belly is bigger (lol - sorry guys)

Three suspicious looking characters......

The queue - it just kept coming, for two hours!

Robert defaces yet another book!

Gets all Van Gogh on us.

Made it along to this, the final signing of the tour, though slightly late. It was good to see a decent crowd turn up and a few familiar faces along to give support.

Managed to squeeze in a couple of pints and talk some toot and had an enjoyable day.

That is now most of the madness of the book-launch all finished with, I don't know how Robert copes - I only did the start and end whilst he has been on the road all week and still looked fresher than me! What a star.

Full steam ahead on the first magazine now....... 

Robert is going to be at the Staplehurst Library in Kent on Tuesday 3rd February at 7.30 to give a talk followed by a book signing.
Library address is : The Parade, High Street, Staplehurst TN 12 OLA.
Tel: 01580 891929. Contact the library for further details about the
event.

It seems apt that my first blog entry should come at the end of the first club event that I have organised and run and where the old club handed over to the new club, James stepped down as leader and I took on that (heavy) mantle of responsibility.

Here is the itinerary:

Reviewed by James Bacon

Funny man Robert Rankin does it again with running gags and humour and tall tales using urban legends and myths to create a laugh out read. With a Free CD too, mad stuff.

That’s what you expect to hear, isn’t it? when you read a Rankin review, be honest.
