Something of interest to NSCers, I hope - I've invited a few friends out for a Question Time-style chat about sporting matters in aid of the roof repair fund at community-owned Exeter Street Hall (5 minutes' walk from BHASVIC).
The panel is: Paul Hayward, friend of us all, Fergie's ghost-writer, multi-award-winning sports writer; Mick Cleary, Telegraph rugby correspondent; Paul Weaver, Guardian F1 and cricket man; Lynne Truss, who was reluctantly persuaded to become a sports columnist by The Times before becoming the nation's unofficial punctuation guru, and accidentally fell in love with golf; and Pete Nicholls, broadsheet writer on athletics, Olympics and drugs in sport. I'll be in the Dimbleby role.

It won't be particularly Albion-centric (although all the above are Brighton residents and have all been to the Amex), but I know that there are many people on here who are much more broad-minded as regards sport than football obsessives like me. The plan is to have a first half of questions submitted in advance, a second half of questions from the floor. And they're all top people who won't mind a bit of brain-picking during the interval or afterwards.
There's also a raffle with prizes including Albion tickets, access to Top Gear recording and a cricket bat signed by the Sussex team. I've persuaded the organisers that Harvey's at the bar will go down well. And the Prestonville, Chimney House, Dyke Inn and Good Companions are all within an easy stroll.
Hope to see some of you there.
