Broadstairs Bacchanalia

[kat_lair]

***

kat_lair, dreamersdare and pushkin666 are plotting a fannish weekend in Broadstairs in September.

Broadstairs is in the Garden of England (Kent), and is situated on the South-East coast. Think quaint English sea side town, with excellent fish and chips, ice cream, local beer and cider and fannish fun.

The plan is for it to start Friday afternoon and go through to Sunday lunchtime. Programme is a WIP, but will be quite easy going, including hang outs, fannish things, vids, going out for a meal, sand, sea and ice cream.

Depending on numbers we might look into booking a function room, or equivalant rather than cramming into Kat's living room/garden, which would mean a small fee to cover costs.

Before we go completely overboard with the planning (la la), we would like to know if you would be interested in joining us for Broadstairs Bacchanalia 2014.

Please comment below if you think you could join us and with the weekend(s) that you prefer.

5th - 7th
12th - 14th
19th - 21st
26th - 28th


Feel free to pimp, or pass on details of this.

margaret_r will be in UK in Sept and we were thinking of suggesting something similar, to combine her seeing where you live with some of us meeting up. No dates as yet, but I suspect the end would work better for me. I'm sure she'll see this and comment... And - she has never been to a con, even a mini one, so...

Here I am *waves*. Yes, this sounds great! The last two would be the best for me, preferably the 26th-28th but 19th-21st would do too. The 5th-7th would probably be difficult.

I'm getting excited now:D And so looking forward to my first ever con*g*

I am also going to try to twist the arms or legs of some of my/Marg's f'list who might see Sept in Broadstairs as interesting. moonlightmead is currently swanning across the Atlantic to an American con but might join us and I will ask her when she gets back or when I get back and phone her.

You said pimp - so I might even post about it.

I assume you can point us all at B&Bs?? Or chain hotels. Or something. (*is not willing to camp on beach*)

You know I'd say yes anyway, but nowadays it all depends on (a) wheelchair access, (b) funds, (c) availability of assistance in getting dressed etc. (which I know you probably wouldn't mind helping with as you have before, but again it would depend where I was staying, wouldn't it?) and (d) Gem-sitting.

Oh, and one of those weekends is Ramsbottom Festival (folk) but I forget which, and unless one of my major folk people is going (which I don't know yet) I'd probably be willing to ditch that for you anyway.
