David Belbin (thanks Dave!) tells me:
On May 8th 2010, the University of Nottingham will host a celebration of the life of one of its most widely respected alumni, the novelist Stanley Middleton. The Booker Prize winning author died in July 2009, a week short of his 90th birthday. The celebration will include live music, readings from Stanley’s novels, poems and unpublished letters, together with short talks on his life and work (more...)

Good-oh! I have had Middleton's Booker Prize winning Holiday on Mt TBR for a while, and this might move it higher up the pile.
