We know Bristol will be quite far away for some of you, but don’t let that put you off: We have an idea to make it even more worth your while.
What many Fantasy-Faction’ers are planning to do is catch a train / drive down to Bristol (some from as far as Scotland! Others from London, etc), book a cheap hotel and spend the evening at the Grim Gathering (about 7pm until 10:30pm) then, the next morning, Fantasy-Faction are planning to have a big breakfast get together in the morning where we can chat about the night before, talk about Fantasy-Faction, the Fantasy Genre and so on (note: there is no obligation to stay over, it is just to make it more worth your while if you do). We’ll probably meet about 8:30am until 9:00am and end up talking and drinking coffee for hours…
Most hotels are within walking distance of the town centre so you can feel free to go shopping or head home whenever you like
