FunCon Two Committee
I joined science fiction fandom when I was still at school, and met some great people and had some fantastic times as a result. My parents mightily disapproved as they thought I'd joined a cult, but I think I turned out okay in the end. I have excellent cat-herding skills due to being a fosterer of stray and unwanted kittens, and will show you All The Photos if you don't run away fast enough. I am apparently in charge of this convention and expected to solve any problems, but you will all be so well behaved that there won't be any, and I can spend my time sitting in the bar... right?
Emma is a long-time Hitchhikers' fan, having joined ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha when she was 15 years old (which she says is now far too long ago!). She has attended, and occasionally blown stuff up at, various convention over the years, and was on the committee for Lazlar Lyricon 3. She recently took up aerial fitness and likes to spend as much of her free time upside down in the air as possible, and encouraging others to join her.
My name is Alice Lawson and I am a conrunner. I have been trying to break the habit but nothing seems to work. So here I am again. However this is a different kind of convention for me, my first relaxacon committee and I am looking forward to it and hope to see you all there.

He has helped organise many conventions in Ireland and abroad, including Octocon, Eurocon, Eastercons, Worldcons, and the first Funcon.

A huge fan of LEGO, James will attempt to include it in convention programmes at every opportunity.
At the 2022 Eastercon James was presented with an award, apparently for being good at stuff.
