ExiliCon - The Aftermath

[Othko97]

In Manchester we are near guaranteed to arrange it on a rainy day, so there is that.

ExiliCon: Cymru?

This.

If cg can go to the UK surely us brits can at least go to the north? Even if it is Manchester.

Also this.

[Jubal]

Yeah, Manchester is very do-able

Could sometime early 2016 work? We could run Cambridge as the summer con and Manchester as the winter one.

ExiliCon: Cymru?

^ I like it

Are we putting it off until 2016? Early 2015 could be possible I mean

*wonders when SotK and I's honeymoon will be*

[Jubal]

I meant 2015, that was a typo.

[Lady Grey]

^ Aha...

[Glaurung]

I would suggest that the date of a winter ExiliCon in Manchester should be chosen with some care.

First, it probably should be after the middle of February, to try to avoid problems with the weather (snow, storms, etc.).

Second, if (and it's quite a big if) you want the convention to be a "shop window" for Exilian, I think it needs to be before the end of university term time. Manchester has many thousands of students, which probably translates to at least some hundreds interested in the things Exilian does. There are probably RPG and other games societies that would be willing to advertise a convention to their members.

I would suggest doing it in early january so I can stop by on my way home after christmas :p

Would we be planning this as another convention or just a meetup of exilifolk?

[Son of the King]

Whatever it is, it needs to involve re-enacting Time Commanders .

[Jubal]

Yeah, I was going to do that at ExiliCon Cambridge but we need advance planning to get a projector screen & projector set up.

[Lady Grey]

To be honest, in our experience, you can't plan for the weather (look at MCM Manchester this year )

I was assuming another convention? Especially if there are students around
