Hi All Does anyone know if there is any sort of association here in Australia for people with Black Country ties? If not, does anyone else think this might be a good/fun idea?

G'day Jen No BC association in Australia that I know of but you can join the BC Society as an overseas member. See http://www.blackcountrysociety.co.uk/ The cost is 25 UK Pounds (about $63 Australian) and you get an excellent quarterly magazine. Great idea but if we start a club over here the travelling to meetings might be a bit of problem, where do we meet? In Alice Spring? :) All the best from the bottom left hand corner of OZ.
