Once again (following the recent Easter activities), TIWWA's special team of community volunteers, our honourable TIWWA Blackcoats, have served us proud!

The recent celebration of Lance Henriksen's 70th birthday was superb and I cannot thank the Blackcoats enough. Similarly, I want to thank everyone who took part, contributed content and helped to publicise the events on their websites including the Millennium Facebook Group, websites in the X-Files community and of course Frank Spotnitz's Big Light Productions.

The feedback has been superb and inspirational! The fantastic video's Frank's Finest Moments by Dirt and 35 Years of Lance Henriksen by Josef were simply unmissable!

If you missed it, fear not, all of the special content including the birthday messages and videos from Mark Snow, M R Sellars, Brett Hart, Peter Outerbridge, Marshall Bell etc are still available to enjoy in our special and permanent archived forum.

About our TIWWA Blackcoats

It's important for us to acknowledge and highlight their support within the community, and so a special member group was created called TIWWA Blackcoats which has a higher level of upload attachment space, great capacity for PM's etc. TIWWA Blackcoats are instantly recognisable by having a special badge next to their posts, and have their own special project forums where they can plan and discuss events.
