Jayme does event running as a job, and has also been involved as a volunteer at various festivals and LARP events around the country over the years. She signed up for FunCon for a fun weekend without having to do any work, but was offered the opportunity to be on committee and has a bad habit of never saying no to a new experience.
Jayme will also be teaching AcroYoga at FunCon.

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.
We want as many of you as possible to join at the lowest possible price!
