Small news! We have proper mailing list now. You can join it by either clicking on the shiny new subscribe link up there on the right, or heading to this page.

There’s something we’d like to know, too. Do you fancy a game developer’s picnic around the time of Develop? Because we might organise one. It probably won’t be dangerous. Let us know over here.

The venue for Bit of Alright is the Grand Hall of the damn fine Battersea Arts Centre. You’ll find a map here.* Click through from that page to go to the location on Google Maps. The point on that arrow is pointing right near the entrance of the hall, on Town Hall Road. It has a big iron and glass awning that says Grand Hall, exactly like this:

Car parking in the local area is by permit, so I’d advise using public transport to get there. In terms of that, the nearest railway station is Clapham Junction, and from there BAC is either a ten minute walk up Lavender Hill, or you can catch a bus (87 or 156) from Stop D, just outside the St. John’s Hill exit of Clapham Junction. If you’re coming from oop North, there are regular trains from Waterloo to Clapham Junction. There’s also some cycle parking on Lavender Hill either side of BAC. Here’s a picture of the inside of the hall:

Not only is the venue itself gorgeous, and not only are BAC lovely to deal with, but they also support all kinds of things going on in the arts. Cynical as I am of what I once witnessed working in fine art, art itself it tremendously important to me, and I’m glad Bit of Alright is contributing to a place that supports it so well.

* Made using the excellent hereit.is, which in turn was made by Brighton based developer Jamie Matthews. The reasons we like it are: It makes maps very legible, allows you to drag and drop the arrow, can generate a custom short URL for you, and also links through to that location on Google Maps.
