Programming, deadlines

· Mike Whitaker

Reminders:

  • Our rates go up at the end of Sunday (just so folks caught up in New Year chaos have a little slack if they haven’t booked yet) from £43/33 to £46/35 (they are marked as ’Sale!’ till 5/1/2025 on the site!)
    Form here –  https://c35.contabile.org.uk/registration/
  • if you want to request a concert/workshop/dealer’s table, now would be good 😀 
    Form here –  https://forms.gle/aiDx8NqU3zkZtS3N6
  • If you are interested in running or helping to run the 2026 con, please let me or Rafe know. Moral support, and technical help, are available. 

Happy New Year (when it comes)

Mike

Payment system update

· Mike Whitaker

There appears to have been a slight glitch to do with the fact that one of the packages on the site does not update when the rest do, and Tickera released an incompatible change that I hadn’t noticed. I have a mental note not to update any more this side of February. 🙂 As a result, you may not have received a confirmation email from your payment.

If anyone thinks they should’ve had an acknowledgement and hasn’t please do let me know: I apologise there are teething problems with the system but I’m learning from the issues.

Contabile 35 will be at the Wensum Valley Hotel in Norwich, as previously discussed from February 7th-9th 2025. Please check out our hotel page for more details, as well as the registration page for how to sign up (and yes, we do take cards!). Memberships will be £43 attending, (£33 unwaged/pension/student/concession) with the usual rates (£1/year 6-17, 5 and under £1) for children. Guests:

  • Overseas: Michael Longcor
  • UK: Edwin Brady
  • Filker Emerita: Valerie Housden

Welcome to Contabile 35!

“If you can think of a better name, you’re still welcome to run the con”, but somehow we don’t think you’ll want to redo all our work!

We have a hotel, subject to final details of contract which should be resolved this week (Jun 03). Once we’ve run a preliminary budget and figured out the membership fees, you’ll be able to register (and actually pay online) right here.

Love, the committee.
