I think you managed to make quite a big impact at the two you've been to so far - the World Horror Con and FantasyCon 2010. Far more so than I've ever made, including the one I helped organise back in the 70's! <br />Plenty of time to change your mind, even if it does become marginally more expensive the later you leave registration.David A.

Though they could always go towards Cornwall - not that I think they'd find many hotels in that direction that could cope with a convention. <br /><br />Just hope the hotel has been improved a bit, as we much prefer staying in the convention hotel just for the convenience. Fingers crossed on that one.David A.

That said, I pass the hotel on a regular basis and they have been doing some work on the interior recently. Whether that will have stretched to the rooms, though, I don't know.<br /><br />I doubt anyone will make the mistake of the fish and chips 'banquet' again...John Forthnoreply@blogger.com
