UK PonyCon 2017 SOLD OUT · 6:44pm Aug 28th, 2017
As it says, this year's UK PonyCon is now entirely out of tickets. With an attendance estimated at around 800, this will be the largest convention in UKPC's 14-iteration history, yet they have still managed to sell out for the third year running. I am looking forward immensely to going to Bristol for this. Maybe I'll see some of you there in October!
You'll see me there! Actually I'd better get started on booking somewhere to stay and travel and stuff.

Yay! It's been way too long -- have we even met since BUCK 2014?

I don't think we have! I remember we did start to organize some little meet-up but I failed to follow up on it because I'm terrible at getting things done. But not this time. I've got the tickets. I'm gonna book a hotel. I'm gonna find out where it actually is.
*checks*
Bristol? Pfff. Easy-peasy. That's like practically walking distance for a train. We shall Do This.

The venue is about 25 minutes' walk from Bristol Parkway, from memory. No hotels on site, though, which is a bit of a pain. There are a couple of Holiday Inns within walking distance, I believe. I, true to form, will be at the Premier Inn on the Filton roundabout. :P
Sweet!

It is! We're doing okay with our corner of the fandom in the UK, which is great. Admittedly the demise of BUCK may have helped, but still. When I first went to UK PonyCon in 2014, attendance was under 400, so it's quite a rise!
