Writercon UK 2019 -- Reminder!!

Don't forget: this year's meet-up will take place on Friday 13th September to Sunday 15th September at Ramada Hotel, The Butts, Coventry, CV1 3GG. The Membership Cost is £49 (to cover room hire, wine, goody bag, and a small contribution towards the craft materials).

We need at least 16 people to sign up before 10 August for the event to go ahead, so please sign up here as soon as you can -- you can pay nearer the time if it's more convenient.

The sooner you sign up and we know your current fandoms, the easier it will be to organise talks, the craft project, the quiz and the goody bags, so expect to see more reminders :-)

The Event 2013: A Call To Arts!

It's that time again!

Yes, that time of year when your committee go before you, caps in hands, bearing reminders that Writercon UK is nothing without the presentations and workshops that take place. Well, apart from the cocktails, obviously. And we'd love to hear from anyone who wants to present or run a workshop at this year's Event.

Have you been burning all year to furnish us with knowledge of the arcane arts of using crayons to depict scenes from Game Of Thrones?

Can you convince us that your word-smithery is second to none, by presenting Supernatural in iambic pentameter?

Do your actual-knitted-sock-puppets regularly perform The Hobbit on direct-to-you-tube?

All forms of writing, all the arts, and all the crafts are welcome!

Whether you want to share your experiences, or teach us how, we'll be glad to hear from you!

Feel free to leave a comment or to contact your friendly exec-members direct, and let us know what you'd like to do.

Well, I can't speak for everyone obviously, but I certainly had a lot of fun at the 2012 Event and it seems as if most people enjoyed themselves.

We managed to fit some presentations in amongst the refreshment breaks, cocktails, and dinners, and Saturday night was enhanced by some pretty spectacularly bad performances. And then after Eurovision we outdid ourselves with masterpiece theatre the likes of which you will never see again (we can only hope).

Shortly the presentations will be available here as vodcasts, and the minutes of possibly the shortest AGM in the history of Writercon UK will go up.

But before you come over all flush with those exciting prospects consider this: There will be mini-meets later this year! Oh yes, there will! And next year too!

And before you hyperventilate yourself into a faint, any day soon the poll to decide dates for next year's Event weekend will go up!

But wait... There's more! We already have a full line-up of presentations for 2013's Event!

Yes! You read that correctly! (Can I get any more exclamation marks into this post? Yes! I can!) We have a full line-up!^* And it's not even 2013 yet!

*All presenter appearances subject to work commitments

PROGRAMME: Something Wicked This Way Comes

Here at the secret underground exec bunker we're well underway with the planning of this year's Event Of The Year and we think you'll like what's coming your way.

If The Event were an episode of our favourite shows the characters would be rolling between the sheets¹, stealing top secret documents², and staring death in the face³ before sauntering through their home town in a victory parade with banners proclaiming their glory⁴. And those are only the snippets we can show you on the trailer without giving the ending away!

The Event 2012! Don't change the channel because this is one episode you won't want to miss!

1. writing sex scenes
2. plagiarism and how not to do it
3. death in fic
4. creating banners

That thing we're not doing next Saturday night

Repost on behalf of Wildecate:

Because we'll all be sitting around having a chat next Saturday night while OMWF plays in the background, I thought people might like to remind themselves of the storyline. So if you would, please could you email me on wildecate at hotmail dot com so I can send you the script to print out because sadly the pile of them that I had last year got recycled by my mother in a fit of cleanliness. Sorry.

And if you'd like to read certain parts it might also be helpful to know. I think Spike is already spoken for. Or should I say Eyeore!Spike?

Looking forward to seeing y'all next week!
