Damn I'm tempted to go. I was planning on going to England around that time anyway. Still might not be easy to arrange things (how to get there). If only I wasn't so lazy to prepare stuff

. Agh we'll see exams first now, fun stuff later.

Well, Nottingham is pretty much central on the rail network... just come up for the day... go on... *wink*

Winters_Sorrow · 17th August 2006, 07:07 PM

I think I'll hopefully be able to attend at least one day.
Do we have any idea of start times for the various days (and also whether it is worth buying tickets in advance or on the door?).

I may come down on the Saturday morning & see if I can stop overnight and go Sunday prior to leaving. Sounds like a plan!

Hey, WS, I might not be able to make FantasyCon, but I am coming to Newcastle later in the year (beginning of December) - fancy meeting up for a beer? Who's round was it anyway?

Winters_Sorrow · 17th August 2006, 08:28 PM

Mine sadly, which I'm sure is why you mentioned it!

But it'd be great to meet up again, Mark so just let me know when you're up north. We'll see if we can get Pete out and maybe he'll buy the drinks...

scalem X · 17th August 2006, 08:36 PM

Mmm do I hear (free) drinks? Chances that I'll go, just lifted a bit

.

Winters_Sorrow · 17th August 2006, 08:38 PM

We'd be happy to have you Scalem, especially if you bring across some Belgian beer.... mmmmm, beer.

Well, for anyone who needs to stay overnight at Fantasycon, the Britannia Hotel where the event is being held is now fully booked - so FantasyCon are recommending the Rutland:

Rutland Hotel:

I've just been looking at my travel options, and it looks as if I'm going to book it to arrive late afternoon on the 22nd, then have to leave early on the 24th.

Does anyone know what day Neil Gaiman is there? Theres a Saturday 23rd thing, that ends with TBC - which I don't like! ScalemX is trying to convince me to turn up, and the temptation to see Gaiman is growing

scalem X · 5th September 2006, 02:21 PM

Well since your only excuse not to come seems lazyness

...

nixie · 5th September 2006, 08:38 PM

Still haven't decide wither to go or not

scalem X · 5th September 2006, 08:40 PM

But I'm comming, Scalem, the rumoured Belgian

. I'll bring some chocolate and beer if that would persuade you.

nixie · 5th September 2006, 08:55 PM

The beer sounds good
