It's cold outside and Jack Frost has made his mark on the windows but I'm looking at the progress of the August event and I get a lovely, warm feeling. We recently visited the Hinckley Island Hotel and were impressed with the progress of their refurbishment. Nearly all of the bedrooms have now been fully refurbished, the conference rooms and corridors are bright and spacious, and there is a new "Costa" coffee area to the side of the reception. Sadly, Poseidon (the big guy with the trident) will be removed from reception before we arrive for the event, so those of you who had planned a special outfit for him will be disappointed. There is also talk of elevators to the first floor conference rooms so we have our fingers crossed for this. In other good news, we can confirm that negotiations are under way with a nice man in Wincanton regarding a special souvenir for the event. We can't reveal too much at this stage other than it may involve paper. And perforations. Keep your eyes peeled for further developments of this project at www.dwcon.org. Prices have now been finalised for the hotel rooms and our booking form is available on-line (see www.dwcon.org and click on "Hotel Bookings”) or in paper format. We have negotiated excellent rates of £53 per person (p.p.) for single occupancy, £43 p.p. for two, £33 p.p. for three and so on. This price includes full English breakfast at Harga's House of Ribs. Further prices are shown on the application form. As we always have so many people who arrive on the Thursday before the event, Harga has also agreed to provide a sumptuous buffet for the terminally eager on that evening. If you would like to join us for this, please tick the relevant box on your booking form (on-line or enclosed). Finally, if you're still missing that vital souvenir tee shirt or programme book from previous conventions, why not visit our new eBay account: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZstarQ5fturtleQ5fltd to see if you can pick up a bargain. The last of our stock is being sold to make way for new products. When they're gone, they're gone! - MEG Page 4 An update on the 2006 Programme of Events 2004 saw a more action-packed programme than any previous convention! Unfortunately, it was so packed that some people complained of not being able to see all the things they would like to have seen because of programme conflicts or sheer exhaustion. So there will be slightly fewer items this time and we will be running repeats of some of the most popular ones. Another change is the involvement of the Guilds. Each guild will be running at least one item in the schedule. We will provide the space and the time slot, you will do the work. Some of the guilds have already submitted some ingenious suggestions for this, so it should be a lot of fun. Several of the Guilds will also be running continuous "drop-in" activity areas. If it all works, in 2008 we'll try and get you to do the cooking and cleaning as well. Panel games were very popular in 2004 and we'll be having more of them in the schedule for 2006. The old favourite "Unseen University Challenge" will be there alongside 2004 successes such as "What's my line" and completely new ideas like "Can you tell what it is, yet?", a B.S. Johnson-inspired quiz. The children's programme is receiving special attention and has a programme manager all of its own. We expect to have trouble keeping the adults out of some of the planned events, one or two of which are even *not* based on "Where's my cow?". This years' Hedgehog Race is an absolute cracker. No, sorry, can't tell you a thing about it. You'll just have to wait. With seven months to go, there is still time for you to submit new event ideas to programme@dwcon.org. All ideas welcome, as long as they don't involve cows. We have enough cows, now, thank you. Of cows, we have a sufficiency. No more cows. Page 5 Where’s My Con? Where's my Con? Is that my Con? It goes, " Beam me up Scotty!" It is the Star Trek Convention! Watch out for that Klingon! That's not my Con! Where's my Con? Is that my Con? It goes, "!!! !!!" It is the Leather G-String Bondage & Fetish Convention! Don't stare at Mistress Candy! We said: DON'T STARE! That's not my Con! Where's my Con? Is that my Con? It goes, "Swap your Number Three Broad-headed Extra Long for my old brass Imperial?" Oh no, it is the Pin Collectors' Convention! Don't fall asleep! Wake up! Wake up! That's not my Con! Where's my Con? Is that my Con? It goes, "Open *wide*!!" Ouch, It is the Dentists' Convention! (or maybe the Fetish Convention again) Didn't I tell you not to stare at Mistress Candy?! That's not my Con! Where's my Con? Is that my Con? It goes, "What time does the bar open?" It goes, "Have the seamstresses kidnapped Terry again?" It goes, "We need some people to transport this sheep, *right now*." It goes, "Is the bar still closed?" It goes, "The signing queue is *how* long?" It goes, "Why, Candy, I didn't know you were a fan, too!" It goes, "Everybody: bar's open!" It also goes, "Baa! Neigh! Oink, oink! Cluck! Hruuugh! Hiss!" And of course it goes, "Where's my Cow?" *That's* my Con! Created by the slightly frightening minds of the people at last year’s Jennifermeet in the Netherlands Guilds Update Yes, we're having Guilds again. No, it won't be exactly the same as before. Yes, it will be better. No, we won't tell you how. But we can tell you a little about the Guild line-up. Attending the 2006 convention will be: The Seamstresses' Guild The Assassins' Guild The Conjurers' Guild The Alchemists' Guild The Lawyers' Guild The Guild of Fools and Joculators The Musicians' Guild The Guild of Priests, Sacerdotes and Occult Intermediaries The combined faculty of Unseen University Some of the Guild heads have found time to tell us a little about their guilds and what they might get up to. Musicians Guild "Obviously the hippest gig in town. We're so cool we even let you play and listen to music free of charge whenever you want. OK, exploitation and smartass critics go with the territory, but there's always the chance of dirty ragged glory and informal arrangements with Seamstresses. We're not proud. A taste for Stevie Ray Vaughan or The Fabulous Thunderbirds gets my vote, but folkies, jazzers, soul boys'n'girls and Britrockers are welcome and we won't snigger if your idea of rock is Meatloaf. Don't play or sing? Put your name where it counts anyway and let'em know your mojo's working." Priests Guild "The duty of members of the Guild of Priests, Sacerdotes and Occult Intermediaries is to ensure it becomes the wealthiest Guild at the Convention — to the greater glory of the gods involved of course. We shall be relying on greed and gullibility as always, and it will be your job to convince Convention members to send messages to the deities of their choice for a fee and _maybe_ their request will be answered. Not only that but the Guild will help them to acquire benefits for this and the next life (after Death has pointed them in the right direction), and if they Page 6 want to reincarnate, then you'll be ready to give advice (for a further fee, of course) on how to obtain a better life when they're reborn on Discworld. We shall be offering for sale indulgences and other aids appropriate to their needs. For appropriate sums we'd hope also to offer investitures into the priesthood of the religion of their choice, with the chance of making it a valuable source of income for their (or your) future career." Conjurers Guild "Following our success in failing to come last in the 2004 points chase (who'd refuse to give a seamstress one in return for a pretty ribbon?) we are firmly resolved this time to be in that humblest of positions at the time of the Gala Dinner. So while other guild members are taking their seats and fretting to get started on the wine we, being last, are still in The Hub enjoying an extra pint. Alchemists Guild The letter ignited when we opened the envelope. Fools Guild "It's not funny you know. Being funny. Funny as in funny, not funny. Funny as per ha-ha, not funny as per dribbley or wearing inappropriate clothes, objects, or livestock. Page 7 Wanted: Gorgeous Assistants (female or male) with bright costume and sequins sewn on yourself (or even on the costume). So join us for a friendly, sociable group of humble folk who greet the world with a merry `Dah-Daaaaaaah'. Who knows we may even have a trick up our sleeves (Oh, of course, we don't keep them there, do we? Sorry.) Funny is serious. Just because those who choose to join will get their own free fun bag, full of fun items, as supplied by the guild, free, there is absolutely no unlicensed or unstructured jocularity. We take fun seriously, we in the guild take the `fun' out of fundamental, and insert same in the fundament of all those who do with malice aforethought, titter, in an unlicensed and anarchic way. We care about fun, and the rumours that abound with regard to any espionage activity that the guild might be prone to, will be dealt with most humorously, and with the recipients very own humerus, playing a part in the proceedings. So if you wish to join a guild that has a rich tradition of serious, demanding study, is built upon a tradition of service at the very highest level of government and principalities throughout the disk. A Guild that is in constant, but discreet communication with its members, and a Guild that gives all new entrants a FREE FUN BAG, the consider ours. Did I mention free fun bag, and of course, a special stamp?" Lawyers Guild When we asked them for their submission, the lawyers wanted two hundred Ankh Morpork dollars for the initial consultation, fifty an hour while they thought about it and another hundred for delivery. We're sure they'll be a hoot. Unseen University "UU was founded in AM 1282, roughly 2000 years before the present, to regulate wizardry, but has never entirely suceeded. It sort of merges into the rest of Ankh- Morpork, but is centred between the river Ankh and Sator Square. It has evolved into an archetypal Oxbridgian institution offering a variety of degrees such as Batchelor of Eldritch Lacemaking. No one knows how many professors there are, but it has to be at least several hundred. No one cares how many students there are, and the universal preference is zero. Its motto NUNC ID VIDES, NUNC ID NON VIDES is taken to extremes by the bright young wizards in the High Energy Magic building." Page 8 Seamstresses Guild The Seamstresses also wanted money up front. At least they were asking less than the laywers. Assassins Guild "The Guild of Assassins has a long and proud history. The Assassin is no murderer. A trained Assassin has honour, flair, panache. Above all, an Assassin has Rules. We inhume with style, elegance and care. The victimclient will always be given a chance, if they are alert enough, to escape or even defeat the Assassin. Anything else is mere butchery. Worse than that, anything else is bad manners. What else can one say about the Guild of Assassins? We are the coolest, most elegant Guild. We hold our heads (or our clients' heads) high. And we wear black." Page 9 Happy Birthday L- Space It was ten years ago in January that the Discworld and Pratchett web resource lspace.org was born. The following extract is taken from wikipedia "It is possible, through L-Space, to get to any library anywhere and anytime in the multiverse. Therefore, using L-Space, one can read any book ever written, any book ever going to be written, every book that people always planned to write but did not do so, or any book that could possibly be written. Since this is effectively a form of both time and interdimensional travel, there are strict limits on its use. Only very senior librarians may be taught the secrets of L-Space and how to avoid its dangers and deal with its denizens. These include the "harmless kickstool crabs, large and heavy wandering thesauri, the .303 bookworm and the dreaded cliches, which must be avoided at all costs". A popular Terry Pratchett and Discworld fan site is named after this concept. The L-Space Web contains details of many aspects of the Discworld novels, including the Annotated Pratchett FAQ (APF) — annotations of all the Discworld books." Run by fans for fans, we are grateful to them for continuing to provide this fabulous resource. Answer to last issue’s Teaser Lode of Trouble How did you do with Letz Diggardersson and his map? Below is the filled in map showing all of the gold seams.

If so, please contact theatre@dwcon.org Page 11 Trevor’s Teasers: Wizard Score! The one-more-than-seven wizards gathered in the ground floor hall of the Tower of Art have a serious problem. Something has emerged from the dungeon dimensions and needs dealing with. Only if they can combine their one-more-than-seven powers into one super thunderbolt will they generate sufficient magic to overcome the monster. On their side they have the thaumic energy that is leaking up through the tiles of the floor. The number on each tile shows the amount of energy coming through. Against them they have the simple fact that if any two wizards are in a straight line either across, down or diagonally, they are bound to hit each other and waste their ammunition (not to mention turning each other in to unexpected objects). Your first task then, is to arrange the one-more-than-seven wizards around the hall so that no two are lying along the same line and not more than one occupies any single tile. Your second task is to find the only one of 96 arrangements that gives them the maximum combined total of thaumic energy. Just how high a blast can you achieve?
