Only a little later than promised ;-)

The convention is running from 2pm Friday 3rd October to whenever they throw us out on Sunday 5th October. We will be running the usual things, and if you want further details check under the cuts :-) The website has been updated, and we have some timelines and news for you.

Registration costs £25, rising to £30 on 1st August 2008. Contact us for Paypal details or send a cheque to our postal address. In either case we will require a registration form from all attendees. ( more on registering )

Hotels
We have been told that The Great North Run is taking place on Sunday 5th October, and hotels and such are filling up very, very fast. The Park Hotel has plenty of space --remember to quote Connotations when booking -- but this may not last. Book your hotel room *soon*. ( Hotel Rates@ the Park )

Vidshow
The vidshow has been really good the last couple of years, and we're hoping to see even more entries this time :-) ( More on the Vidshow )

The Zine
We welcome slash stories (and mixed threesomes and moresomes ;-) in the zine. The deadline is July 31st. ( more on the Zine )

Panels
Please feel free to suggest potential panels from now or at any time up to when we start voting in early September.

As always, absolutely any topic is fair game for the convention, from fandom specific to the most metatastic. Technical to absurd. The things that bug you, the things you don't get, the things you wish we'd talk about. It's all good :-)

The Pimp Session
This will run as usual, with the sign up sheet near Reg Desk at the convention. AV, powerpoint, mime, puppet theatre and stick figures with explanatory notes have all been utilised, although some of the most successful have merely involved reading aloud from the source material... Plan for no more than five minutes to convince us all why your fandom is the best thing since Jack kissed Ianto :-)

Thanks to interest shown last year there may be an Artshow this year! We are still discussing the details, but hope to tell you more very soon :-)

Hello!

Exactly two months to go, and I have finally got myself organised, and sent out all the registration confirmation emails for 2007. If you haven't had an email from me, you are not currently registered.

Please be aware that with the strikes and the general uselessness of snailmail, I *always* find that some people's reg forms never reach me, or only reach me after the convention. From here on in I will be updating registrations weekly (because this is usually when they start picking up), so allow a week (because I can't go to the PO box every day), and drop me an email if you haven't heard from me. registration at connotations dot org dot uk. If you have been before, I am prepared to waive the reg form, and if UK cheques are difficult for you, again, email me at registration and I will let you have the Paypal details.

On a different note, there is still plenty of room in the con zine for stories, and if you were thinking about writing something for the zine, please do let me know, so I can stop making pitiful chibi eyes at my nearest and dearest in the hopes of guilting them into writing *g*
