2 June: It's now all over bar the fingerpointing. The
convention thanks all the guests, attendees, volunteers, and conscripts. On
to the 31st National Science Fiction
Convention, Au Contraire!
|
29 May: It's C-day! The
events page now reflects the latest programme schedule as of today, 29 May
2009. This website will no longer be updated. All last-minute programme
changes will be notified on the convention's whiteboard.
|
27 May: The paper programme is being printed. Until at least Friday, 29 May,
the events page of this website will be updated with
changes to the printed programme.
|
26 May: The con committee, in its infinite wisdom, decided to
switch programme items around one more time. This has yielded
the final programme, which should
now be safe to print out, though please note that (1) programme booklets with
the same contents will be handed out at the convention, and (2) in practice,
some last-minute changes always have to be made, so look for change
notifications on the convention's whiteboard.
|

former scriptwriter for Star Trek: The Next Generation has been added
to the roster. • Pre-registration is now over, but you can still
