Rotten Ali 600 Posted July 6, 2015 Know what? Just maybe time to pin Saturday the 26th September, Canterbury Food and Drink Festival - Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September 2015... Unless someone knows better... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted July 7, 2015 Know what? Just maybe time to pin Saturday the 26th September, Canterbury Food and Drink Festival - Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September 2015... Unless someone knows better... There was some discussion last year about whether London might be more central. Very convivial last year on Canterbury but, you could have squeezed us into one car, though non of us was fit to drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted July 21, 2015 Know what? Just maybe time to pin Saturday the 26th September, Canterbury Food and Drink Festival - Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September 2015... Unless someone knows better... There was some discussion last year about whether London might be more central. Very convivial last year on Canterbury but, you could have squeezed us into one car, though non of us was fit to drive. Yes it was great, maryportfuncity and welshman are a total pleasure to spend an afternoon drinking with,never a dull moment, but you could have fitted that convention on a tricycle never mind in a car. I am all for DL'ers having a convention again this year at the Canterbury food and drink fest, it is fab but I won't be able to make it this year. It is expensive for me to make the journey from my part of Scotland to Kent, there is no overnight quick option as it is a long slog and as I have done with every DL Convention I have attended I have made a weekend of it. This year I have committed myself to a weekend in Edinburgh at the start of October with a bunch of ladies I have been friends with since childhood, anyone who has booked a 2 night stay in a hotel in Edinburgh at any time of the year knows there isn't a cheap way of staying there and if there is you may get cockroaches in your bed. So LG will be bowing out of a Canterbury rematch in September in favour of cocktails and being exposed to embarrassing photos of herself as a child with some longtime friends she hasn't seen in many years. I do hope some DL'ers take the plunge and make a go of it in Canterbury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,046 Posted July 21, 2015 I'm too far away too, probably too new to be a fully fledged Conventioneer, plus that's my birthday week so I'll have events planned at the time, catching up with all the folks I haven't been seeing while I have been staying in, winding up my brother's estate. I'd really like to come along one year though, "or summat" lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,327 Posted July 21, 2015 Well I live within reasonable travelling distance to get to Canterbury or London so would attempt to come if enough people are interested. Never met anyone on the DL forums before but most of you seem like fun sort of people and if all other conversation fails we could always just revert back to talking about dying celebrities and pass the time with copious amounts of alcohol.

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 23, 2015 Much as Canterbury is usually a decent trek for me, the discussion last time there was about London being more convenient for more people - obviously our US, Dutch and other posters might beg to differ on that one.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 11, 2015 Just putting the feelers out there, but would anyone potentially be up for a con in Cologne at some point next year (not carnival time)? Cologne isn't too far away for me, train fare is reasonable, so count me in. Cologne is nice in late spring, early summer. I agree with avoiding carnival time.
