We managed to make it out alive, with the help of an underground tunnel and a massively whistleable tune. But you can’t keep us away! No, we’ll be back – same bat time, same bat channel, and this time the second tuesday of the month of February falls on… you guessed it! So we’ll come up with something fun and suitable.

In the meantime though, if you want to have a say in how M&CS does its thing, come to our AGM this Saturday at 2pm in Exchange!

~ Warden Samuel Norton, The Shawshank Redemption

“Why not just kill them? I’ll do it! I’ll run up to Paris – bam, bam, bam, bam. I’m back before week’s end. We spend the treasure. How is this a bad plan? ”
~Jacopo (The Count of Monte Cristo)

Because revenge is a dish that should be worth the wait. It should be savoured and enjoyed with all the relish of a good story.

This month we’ll be showcasing monsters yarns of all shapes and sizes. From the cutsey Pixar ones to that terrifying one you never really saw properly in Cloverfield. But of course M&C welcomes all stories – if you just have some yarn to spin, don’t worry too much about the theme. So come one, come all, young and old, and share a sceal if you can. If not, you’re always welcome to sit, relax and enjoy the lovely surroundings… Read More
