Hotel Bookings Open!

Submitted by emmak on

We're excited to announce that hotel bookings are now open!

Members should have received an email with details of the convention rates and how to book - if you've joined Funcon but haven't received that, please drop us a line on info@funcon.lol.

Payment is taken on arrival at the hotel and not in advance and we would therefore recommend booking early to secure a room.

There is more information on the Accommodation page

Programme Items Online!

Submitted by emmak on

Our full programme won't be finalised until shortly before the convention, but to give you an idea of what to expect at Funcon 1, we have added some of the programme items that we are planning to our website - see our Programme Page for details, and watch that space for more information as the convention approaches!

If you have suggestions for things you would like to see at the convention, or anything you would like to volunteer to run, please drop us an email and let us know!

FunCon Committee have a meeting

Submitted by funcon_admin on

The FonCon committee met in a secret location west of London to make plans for the convention. They were very serious and not silly at all about making plans.

Excellent progress has been made with the hotel, and some great initial work has been done on programme planning.

We also have a shiny new logo, thanks to the wonderful Anne Stokes. You can see it at the top of our website.
