Calling all fellow Geeks! Especially those in the UK.

[curiouswombat]

It is now 3 months before WriterConUK. And I would so love to see some more friends there.

It is a weekend get-together for fandom types - be you writers, artists, readers, vidders... The icon shows two of the fandoms that usually have a person or two there - but there are also Dr Who fans, Buffy fans, Sherlock fans, Supernatural fans, not to mention the fans of Forgotten Realms, Avengers, Merlin, Stargate, Vampire diaries, 'anything Danish' (Hmm - Carlsberg and bacon butties seems a reasonable fandom to me, but I have a feeling it is not quite what she meant!).

We chat, hold a quiz, chat, eat stuff, drink at the bar, gossip for a change, have talks on fandom related stuff, chat, eat Danish pastries (AHA! something Danish for Ningloreth!!), discuss cocktails as a change from fandoms, have a few more talks about fandom things, have a geeks' raffle (fandom related prizes - you bring one, you take one home - rather than winning your own geek...), chat about what we've won, eat more stuff... It is just a really fun weekend. I always learn something new, meet someone new, and laugh so much it hurts.

So - if there is any chance of getting to Coventry between the evening of 9th August and lunchtime on Sunday 11th, please, please, come and join in! There is always an offer from our chairgeek gillo, on the Sunday afternoon, to show anyone who would like her to either central Coventry or Kenilworth Castle. (The castle is fascinating and, as it is almost in her back garden, she does excellent guided tours.)

If you are already a member of the LJ Community then the sign up post, with the details, is here (it's FLocked as we ask for a few details about you - like your fandoms, and any dietary requirements).

if you aren't a member the details are all in this post.

If you don't have either a Live Journal or a Dreamwidth one, you can read that second post and, if you want to come, just e-mail me, send me a PM, whatever. There is no problem with you coming at all.

And don't worry that you won't know anyone - you'll know me!. And you will soon feel as if you have known others for ages too.

I was seriously considering coming this year - new start and all that, but then the craft club I run classes for announced that Saturday was the summer school date... so no go. I have 15 ladies each half day who would be very upset if I didn't turn up, so I had no real choice. Maybe next year...

Sounds great, and I would go if I didn't live too far.

Have a blast!

That just sounds like so much fun! Don't think I can manage to pull it off this year though. I'll enjoy reading the con reports!

Looks like I wont be able to make it again this year - oh well, I will aim for next year!

Hi, I would dearly love to come but I am afraid the commute would be a little too far. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun, enjoy yourselves.

Huggs,

This sounds lovely! Impossible to make for me, sadly, for several reasons, but perhaps another year... is this going to be always around the same date?
