<B>Where Will the Clans Gather?</B>
The convention is being held at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh. The Scottish capital is easily reached by rail, road or plane, and has much to see and do, if you wish to turn your convention visit into a proper holiday. The University is set on a beautiful campus on the edge of the city, easily reached by bus or taxi, and has all the facilities we need, including rooms, food, and drink.
<B>When?</B>
Events will run from Friday 5th until Sunday 7th September 2003. Breakfast will also be available on the Monday morning!
<B>How Much?</B>

<B>Events</B>
At present we do not have a confirmed list of events, although we have some ideas! You can confidentally expect a range of role playing and board games, freeforms, and seminars, along with such events as the auction, trollball, and a sing-a-long. More details as soon as we have them!
If you can help by running an event, please get in touch! All volunteers will be suitably rewarded.
<B>Guests</B>
At the moment, we don't know exactly who will be attending. We'll let you know when we do!
We're a small con, with a small budget, so we aren't likely to be able to afford to pay all the expenses of flying guests in from America or Australia (much as we'd like to). Instead, we have a small fund set aside to contribute to the costs of people coming long distances who are willing to help run lots of events. If you have anyone you think qualifies for this help (even yourself!) let us know, along with ideas of what we should make them do to earn their keep!
<B>Fund Raiser</B>
To keep costs down, we plan to release a fund raiser book. If you would like to contribute to this (in return for a free copy) please get in touch. The contents are unlikely to have a single theme, and we'd like a range of fiction, scenarios, cameos, myths, cults, etc. Short, light hearted pieces would be very welcome.
Having said that, if someone has a 30,000 word campaign setting they think we could publish, we'll consider it!
<B>What's In A Name? (Competition)</B>
As you might have noticed, we are having a marked lack of success in thinking up a good name for the con! So we're going to throw it open to you. Send your suggested name(s) to graham_at_albionsoft.com with "name the con" as the subject by 20th December. We'll pick the best, and provide the winner with some free drinks at the con (or a free copy of the fund raiser if you can't make it).
