I'd only recently been joking with someone about the fact that the media hadn't been contacting us, with regards to articles and shows, etc, since the group took the decision to greatly 'back away from' a lot of media contact, off our own bat. This decision came after many years of fostering healthy working relationships with numerous, different, media sources, which greatly ended - in more recent times - with a handful of instances where newspapers (in particular) took liberties with the group, resulting in a lot of wasted time and effort on our behalf......
Having said this, it was with a little surprise that someone kindly sent us a link to a 'Birmingham Mail' article from approx 5 days ago that gave the group a MINISCULE mention in a standard, Halloween piece, concerning the usual, run-of-the-mill, Black Country hauntings......
While we knew nothing about the piece concerned - re-reporting a Dudley Castle related spooky photograph from 2014 - we were subsequently contacted by a features writer from the 'Express and Star' newspaper who inquired whether club members might be interested in being interviewed for an article? Long-standing W.M.G.C. member, Steve Chew, happily stepped up and the resulting piece - one of the best we've ever had published about the group, it has to be said - appeared in the 'Express and Star' Weekend Supplement for Halloween.....
