Just copied this from the news letter, The Banquet will take place on the Sunday evening of the Convention by ticket only at a cost of £45 each.

That is a little bit too much for a veggie meal which will cost the hotel a couple of quid at the most, quite glad I will be leaving on the Sunday evening.

But the hotel has a habit of ripping con attendee's off they held the Eastercon one there last year. :devil: and I for one won't go back there if the next DWCon is held there. :cry:

Me too! Last years do was yummy and the costumes people wore (even if they weren't actually going as a particular character) were fab, so all in all it was a great experience. I agree though that it's a v. poor deal for vegetarians, but I believe the committee were onto the hotel's little creaming off ways and had screwed them into a better deal this time?

The full gen is all in the latest Newsletter HERE along with other convention news. One thing that may interest people on here even if they're not actually going is that this year they will be having an Art Exhibition and have asked people to get in touch re submissions - prizes will be awarded. :laugh:

*goes off to post it in the Art threads* :whistle:

If anyone wants to sit with me, my badge ID is A196 and my badge name is Dotsie :laugh:

Can I sit with you two? Please?
Of course! What's your name and number? Then I can say I want to sit with you (that's what happened last time, anyway)

Yes, yes, just not to the dinner - for the rest of the time you won't be able to get rid of me ;)
well if Dotsie, Meer and me can't keep Sjoerd in order I don't know who can :laugh:

Like Dotsie says - you just need to mention the badge name and number of the people you want to sit with and they'll oblige. Sjoerd and meer - we need your credentials please :laugh:

Anyone else going and wants to sit with us Dotsie's A196 and I'm A177
