Well, that went rather well, though I do say it myself. We had a minor panic at the beginning because the hotel had sold some other space near ours to a trade union for a meeting, but they were no great nuisance once we got signs up. After that, everything ran smoothly.

We got about 50 people, which is what I expected. We had two artists and three dealers. I don’t think anyone made a profit, but they all seem to have enjoyed themselves. And we had a few hours of panels which were very well attended.

Huge thanks are due to Al Reynolds, Charles Butler, Paul Cornell and Juliet McKenna for turning out to such a small event, and to Angry Robot and Colin Harvey for making us look like a grown up convention. Also thanks to Anna from the Mercure who has been very helpful all day. And finally thanks to Jo, Andy, MEG, Roz, Colin, Gareth, Philippa and everyone else from Bristol who mucked in to make it happen.

Dinner now. Dance and pub quiz in the evening. More later.
