The Temple APA – a group of some of Britain’s most enthusiastic comic creators, most of them on the indie press scene – has moved homes on the internet after the closure of its ning site, after that community hosting service ended its support for non-paying sites.
The new Temple site is at social go, and you can sign up to here: www.templeapa.socialgo.com
“I’ve still got to give the site a bit of an overhaul” says Temple member David Hailwood, “but it’s gradually getting there.”
Members of the group include Davey Candlish, Paul Harrison-Davies, Paul Eldridge, John Kirkham and others.
