Hello everyone, but especially people in the UK or willing to travel there!
A long, long time ago, I can still remember
How thatmusic fandom weekend used to make me smile...
*clears throat*
Anyway. Once upon a time there was Connotations, a fan con by fans for fans where I met some awesome people and drank questionable amounts of alcohol. Once upon a time I also hosted 'North-West Fen' meetings in Manchester, and then a 'Broadstairs Bacchanalia' fandom weekend in, you guessed it, Broadstairs. Then life, pandemic, etc.
Now... Possibility? Potential? A vaguest of plan... To maybe do something like that again. In person. In... Well, still considering the location (because sadly I no longer live in a house that can host more than max five people for group activities) because a lot depends on the numbers (though Manchester has been floated...). Next summer(ish) seems like a potentially solid time as well.
Anyway, I am posting this first in my journal but will consider setting up a separate community if there is enough interest. So, please can I ask everyone to
1) Share this post. Look, I made a very professional banner and everything. You could like post it and embed a link to this post and that would make my little heart swell with gratitude.
2) Fill this extremely professional poll.
Please feel free to elaborate and offer suggestions in the comments!
Thank you!
