Hi,

as it says, no more Gencons in the UK.

Cheers,
Malc


I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

sad to hear really, but it doesnt come as any great surprise to me.

when i last went, i didnt think the demand was there in the same way as say what you have in the states. thats my own perception of course....malc's would be very different to mine from a selling perspective.

best, Al


Are we nearly there yet?

Hi,

came straight from Peter Atkinson apparently.

The current bid cannot agree on a venue, so Peter is putting Gencon UK to rest.

The best year - I took $30k
The worst year - I took $5k

Cheers,
Malc

We had all better save for GenCon stateside then! It will be missed.
