Hello there folks, , Fantasycon is under some kind of new management next year, I do not pretend to understand the ins and outs of this sort of thing. But I have been asked to be Guest of Honour!!!!!!! I think it will be held in Corby (closer to you than Brighton, Iain). So I shall expect every one of you to sign up and come along and make it look glamorous.

Nothing much on their website yet on but here's a link. It is probably worth joining the society as you then get quite good discounts on the cons.. http://www.britishfantasysociety.co.uk/ Normally takes place in September so plenty of time to plan ahead - it's in my schedule and I hope to be along Smiling

How slanted toward Fantasy is it, do they have SF stuff there too?

Re: FANTASY CON 2012

I have to admit to being an on-line member (via email only). They seem a pretty serious lot when it comes to the fantasy bit. As for SF not seem too much hence my lack of participation. They are on Twitter at @BritFantasySoc

I guess they have always seemed a bit “stuck up” to me?

That I hope will change with the GM gettin involved Laughing out loud

On the plus side, "Banned For Life From X" (for increasing values of X) is a fine life outlook!
 
I'm still technically banned from a pub in Rodley and a nightclub in Leeds, and I don't drink Smiling

I have been a member for a long time and there is more Horror fans and books  than I would like 60/30, but years before it was a reversal, Brian Aldiss was a  GOH this year but as you see from the link. http://www.fantasycon2011.org/awards.htm
Hope there is a bit more Fantasy in next years Con.
