WriterconUK 2017 -- TWO WEEKS TO GO!!
Just two weeks to go until the meeting!
We have 16 people signed up so far, so there is still room for more. (If you want to see who you'll be spending the weekend with, there's a list of attendees on the sign-up post, here).
Here is the programme for this year's event, with a craft workshop, discussions, and lots of fun!
Raffle
One of the highlights of the weekend is the free raffle, which we hold on the Sunday morning as part of our AGM. Everybody--yes, everybody!--gets to choose a prize, and sometimes, thanks to the generosity of their fellow attendees, everybody gets to choose two!
In the past, we've had books, dvds, stationery, action figures and other fandom toys, wine, chocolates, offers of original artwork (including custom-made story banners), and beautiful knitted items, all donated by our generous attendees.
So when you pack your suitcase, please don't forget to bring one or two items for the raffle!
Friday Night trip to the Lebanese Restaurant
Last year, most of us ate at the Aqua Lebanese restaurant (which is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel) on the Friday night. The food was delicious and we had a lot of fun.
Please comment on this post if you'd like to eat at the restaurant, and I will book a table.
