As readers of Peter’s Blog and Twitter feeds will be aware, Peter is involved in the “Creative Hinckley ” project in his home town. Providing support for and fostering the development of a vibrant and sustainable creative and artistic business community in the Borough of Hinckley and Bosworth, the project works out of the recently regenerated Atkins Building.
It is at this fabulous venue that we will be celebrating Peter’s artwork of the Bad Taste Bears so far and also looking forward to what is sure to be another fantastic year with an exclusive BTB 2011 preview and panel.

Venue
The Atkins Gallery is a beautiful grade 2 listed building located in the heart of Hinckley providing a new hub for creatives throughout the borough.
The Gallery does have limited capacity and as such we will only be able to provide space for 110 guests and there will be limited seating available – this is to be a very intimate and exclusive get together. As space is so limited and we want as many collectors as possible to be able to attend there will be a restriction on tickets. The tickets will be members only and limited to 2 per person – with this in mind we would also ask that for the first week of tickets being on sale people to exercise consideration for their fellow collectors and refrain from booking up tickets for friends and family who will essentially be taking the place of a collector.

Ticket release date to be confirmed.
Exhibition and Preview
Peter’s artwork – Even as we speak, Pete is putting together the key pieces of Bad Taste Bear artwork from the past 10 years ready to exhibit in November. There are sure to be many hidden gems as well as the chance to show off some classics in a fabulous Gallery.
2011 Preview - This is your chance to get the low down on everything Bad Taste Bear for 2011. Presented by a BTB panel including creator Peter Underhill and Oddco’s Paul Kell, you will be the first to see the exciting developments we have in store for the BTB range.
Q&A - As well a preview of 2011, the panel will also be holding a question and answer session. If you have a burning BTB question you have always wanted to know the answer to then this will be the time to ask.
BTB Con Exclusive Bear.
The exclusive figurine is to be a very special version of Evan and Elle. Like Gabriel before it, it is sure to be a key piece in the BTB collection. This bear will only be available from the Gallery with a small quantity available at European events.
Full BTB Con details including times, ticket release, collectors gallery, Evan and Elle pictures and a special 18″ bear will be revealed over the next few weeks. Be sure to chat about this and everything BTB on the BTB Discussion Board.

A murder of the foulest kind was committed in the neighbourhood of Bearchapel in the early hours of yesterday morning, but by whom and with what motive is at present a complete mystery. At a quarter to 4 o’clock Police constable Kell, 97J, when in Ted’s Row, Bearchapel, came upon the body of a teddy bear lying on a part of the footway, and on stooping to raise her up in the belief that she was drunk as a skunk, he discovered that her throat was cut almost from ear to ear. She was a dead ted, but still warm….
