One of the things I noticed when I went to the event with Manda Scott and Ben Kane in Bristol last month was that they were both headed off to Harrogate the following weekend for a convention. Indeed, Manda was chairing it. I gather that it was a huge success. They got over 2000 people, which I believe is more than double the number who attended this year’s Eastercon in Bradford. There is a con report from Emma Darwin here. It all sounds very familiar. Provided that it doesn’t clash with BristolCon, I might have to go next year to see how they do things.
