dates to be confirmed, but likely queen’s birthday weekend.
On the other hand if people can start thinking about things now, and correspondence starts now, it will be easier to organise when more details are known
BUMP!!

Our Fan Guest of Honor is Anna Klein. She’s going to be doing a talk or two about whatever takes her fancy, but likely larping, event running and/or Lovecraft.
We’re also looking at running a couple of larps, potentially The Bell, Mansfield and Monsters and a Babylon 5 game.
Other events include: aucontraire.org.nz/2013/events.php
And, like every year, we’re keen for people to volunteer to run a panel. You pick a topic, grab some buddies, we put you in a room and away you go. Any geeky topic you feel like talking about.
That would surely be the SDC-winning “Mansfield With Monsters”?
And the B5 game is “Against the Night”, which has previously run at KapCon XIX:

A call has gone out for everyone able to fly a ship to report to a muster station. From there, you have been moved out to near a military airfield and told to wait pending an announcement that should come in an hour or two.
