Just two weeks to go until this year's event on September 7, and the hotel has asked us to give them final numbers by next Thursday so, if you're still thinking of joining us,

you must sign up by Wednesday 29!

(If you want to see who else is attending, there's a list on the sign-up post, here).

Programme

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 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

For the last two years, most of us have eaten at the Aqua Lebanese restaurant (which is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel) on the Friday night. The food is delicious and we have a lot of fun.

Please comment on this post if you'd like to join us at the restaurant, and I will book a table.

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!
