Plus, the mid-con party (which surprised a lot of us when it shut down at midnight, bringing a rather abrupt end to the night) will now be moved to Harrogate’s MOJO bar on the Saturday of this year’s convention. A three-storey venue, which looking from the website ain’t going to be cheap, but not as expensive as you’d think either. But, by the gods, the menu looks great!

Anyway, tickets are on sale now, and very reasonably priced. So, that’s something in what is becoming more and more a weekend that feels like it costs the same as an exotic faraway holiday for a week!
