Most people reading this blog piece will be aware that Birmingham City FC terminated the contract to host this year’s International Conference on Men’s Issues at its home ground, St Andrew’s Stadium. Various blog pieces on this website and the conference website have explored the matter in some detail. We’re pleased to report that we’ve negotiated an out-of-court settlement with the club. Our thanks to Tony, party treasurer, for leading the negotiations, and to Ian, our legal advisor, for his support.

We’re not permitted under the terms of the settlement contract to divulge any details, but we can now finally put this matter behind us, and focus our energies on the London conference.
