VCON is cancelled

The kind of fan-run convention we all love is failing. We’ve known this for a long time, but when stalwarts like VCON and Ad Astra struggle with issues of failing attendance, lack of volunteers, cost of hotels, we have to wonder if the days of the fan run con are numbered.

Read the comments, too, as there is a fuller explanation there.

Also, if you are on Facebook, visit the Ad Astra group and join the discussion there.

Glasgow in 2024 – A Worldcon for Our Futures

The UK in 2024 Worldcon Bid team are delighted to announce that their chosen venue is the Scottish Event Campus, Glasgow.

Under its previous name as the SECC, Glasgow has hosted two previous Worldcons; Intersection in 1995, and Interaction in 2005. We are delighted to be able to revisit the SEC Campus, which has seen considerable growth in the last few years, including new onsite hotels, restaurants and development inside the convention centre itself. The venue has just announced a £200 million development plan.

Our team is a dedicated band of fans both local and international, old and new. Our working party and support team already contain previous Worldcon Chairs and Bid Chairs, who are volunteering alongside newcomers keen to bring Worldcon back to the UK. We draw our experiences from the many events that take place around the UK and beyond. There is huge enthusiasm to host a Worldcon after the successes of Loncon 3 (2014) and the ongoing passion for Dublin 2019, an Irish Worldcon (2019). Our Bid Chair is Esther MacCallum-Stewart.

Our community is a thriving one, and we welcome everyone to join us, share their ideas and celebrate the UK’s ongoing love of science fiction and fantasy.

We will start taking pre-supports during Dublin 2019, where we will have a formal launch party (we say formal, but there will be dancing!).

If you’d like to find out more, or get involved with Glasgow in 2024, drop us a line at info@glasgow2024.org .

Teddy Harvia

Recently, I was contacted by Teddy Harvia, a well known fan artist famed for his cartoons which grace all sorts of fan publications, including the Progress Reports from the Dublin World Con.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Harvia

Apparently, Teddy lived in Montreal for a short time and would have met up with MonSFFA had he known we existed. We really need to raise our profile!!

He is going to Dublin, and we (the Canadian contingent) are hoping we can meet up at “Leaf Con”.

To enjoy more of his work, just type ” Teddy Harvia” in Google and search for images.

News from Scintillation 2019

We have everything agreed with the hotel for next year, meaning all the same rooms reserved, though we’re going to keep the consuite until end of program this time.

And you can reserve your hotel room at this link Scintillation 2019 Hotel

or if for some reason you prefer to phone, you can call 1 888 878-9888 and give the code ZSC

Rooms are $199 Canadian per night.

Our computer-competent team are working hard on the website attempting to put up a button where you can buy membership and also an interface so I can edit it, because right now it’s all hand-carved HTML. (Possibly these things will happen over the holidays. We’ll see.) Meanwhile, memberships are still available by the clunky method of sending $80 via PayPal to farthingparty@gmail.com and emailing members@scintillation.ca to say you’ve done that. Many of you have done this already, we do still have memberships available at this time, we expect to be full again, but anyone with a supporting membership for 2019 can convert at any time.

Happy Holidays!
