3: Chairman MEG talks on Current Situation
Welcome to the final chronicle before we meet in Hinckley!
I am delighted to report that membership is now well ahead of the 625 mark. The flip-side of this is that, for safety and comfort, we will have to cap membership at 750. So, if you have friends, relatives or soft toys who want to join us, urge them to submit their application before it's too late. In the same vein, hotel bookings are coming thick and fast and our convention hotel is now over two thirds full. This is excellent news as it means that many of our old and new friends will be together throughout the convention. With this in mind, I urge those of you who have yet to make a reservation to do so as soon as you can as we would hate for you to be disappointed and other accommodation is scarce and not necessarily convenient.

I know that there are those of you who await, with eager anticipation, the details of the Gala Dinner which is hosted this year by the seamstress's guild. Booking forms are being posted to all registered members. Because places at the dinner have to be limited, we strive to ensure that everybody receives their application simultaneously. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis so if you are planning a party or group booking, organise now and get your bookings to us without delay. Equally, if you plan to go alone, your immediate booking will help ensure your place. Following conversations with the Cunning Artificer, I am delighted to confirm that there will be a very special limited edition souvenir for all attendees plus related merchandise available at the convention. Once again, the convention welcomes artificers of all styles to Sator Square offering diverse merchandise for the discerning customer. Cognoscenti will be aware of a most auspicious production not unconnected with Hogfather. I am delighted to reveal that we will not have, as our special guests, the producer, director, and scriptwriter not responsible for this non-production. As was proven at the Hogswatch event in Wincanton, this production will not be shown in two parts over Christmas by Sky. It is nothing like four hours in length and David Jason will certainly not be not playing the part of Albert. He most definitely didn't say: "I am thrilled to be taking part in Hogfather - I am a huge fan of Terry Pratchett's books and to play the part of Albert is going to be great fun." If you should not be speaking to the makers at the event, ask them about the teeth. You will also note the cover of this particular Chronicle is in no way, shape or form related to the above mentioned non-film.

That's all from me until we meet again at the convention but there's lots more in this issue from the rest of the crew.
Be seeing you.

4: Careful, you'll have someone's eye out with that!
The Convention is a busy, bustling place with hundreds of enthusiastic, energetic people in a single hotel.

In your enthusiasm you may want to demonstrate how well you can swing that scythe you made. Or you want to try out that sword that someone brought as part of their costume. Or you want to re-enact just how Tiffany wielded her frying pan to take out Jenny Green-Teeth.

And you accidentally damage the costume of a passer-by, or hit them in the head or, indeed, take their eye out.

Oops.

We can't curb people's enthusiasm (and wouldn't want to, anyway), we can't make the hotel bigger or less busy, but we can, like previous years, draw up a Weapons Policy to try to stop accidents before they happen. In the words of Dónal and Gabe, our heads of Security:

Weapons Policy

All weapons will be checked in with Ops as soon as possible following hotel check-in. There are no exceptions to the check-weapons-in-with- Ops policy. Permission to wear weapons is conditional on the approval of the Security team, in conjunction with Ops, to whom all weapons should be brought.

If you're not sure what constitutes a weapon, you should bring it up to Ops anyway, just to be sure. There are 800 people in close quarters for the duration of the convention, and you'd be amazed at the damage that one person with a scythe can cause. Well, all right, maybe you wouldn't be *that* surprised, but if Death turns up at the Con, we'd like to think that he'd be thoughtful enough to check his scythe and sword with Ops. You may think that a weapon which stays in your room and only comes out for the Masquerade does not need to be brought to Ops. You would be wrong; ALL weapons need to be brought to Ops, as soon as possible following check-in.

You may think that a weapon which will not be brought out of your hotel room does not need to be checked with Ops; it is the experience of the Security team that at 2 in the morning *someone* will decide to go up to their hotel room and get their edged banana so that they can show it to their friends. Please do not do this.

Ops will summon Security to examine all weapons brought to their attention. Determination of what constitutes a weapon is at the sole discretion of the Security and Ops teams. People who disregard the weapons policy may have their Con membership revoked and be asked to leave the Convention.

Please help us help you to have a happy and safe Convention.

5: Gophering at the Convention
Gophers are the volunteers who help keep the Convention-show running smoothly during the weekend. Special skills are not required, and people can put in as much or as little time as they like.

If you would like to help out as a gopher here's what you do: you either fill in the Gopher Form that was sent out to you, or send an email to volunteers@dwcon.org (helpful so that we get some idea of gopher numbers), or you come and find the Master Gophers at the Convention (most likely to be found in the Gopher Hole). On the form, you will find a list of Gopher types, and you can list any skills that you think would be of benefit to the Convention (e.g., first aid, crowd control, spoon bending using the power of your mind, disabilities helper).

At the Convention, you will be given a gopher badge with which you can indicate whether you are available for gophering or not. When you wear the badge, you may be called upon by the Master Gophers to do any of a myriad of different tasks, from stacking chairs to putting up signs around the hotel.

Apart from the eternal gratitude of the Committee and your fellow Conventiongoers, Gophers putting in a certain number of hours will receive an exclusive Gopher badge which will make you the envy of all rodenthood. Your Convention Needs YOU.

6: Discworld costuming
One thing never to say to a costumer "oh you do that fancy dress thing don't you?" I'm sure there is room for another body under the patio. So where does one start with a costume, for us there could be almost any catalyst. The first - Kate as Sardines, was pretty straightforward. She read the book - she wanted to be Sardines in the maskerade. Much the same with her portrayal of Tiffany, she identified with the character, and the drawing!

More recently it's been a group effort so inspiration has been somewhat different. Ian thought it would be fun to do a family maskerade entry and suggested "The band with rocks in ". Then for CCDE 2005 we had Kate's friend to accommodate plus one small smelly terrier - the result was "The canting crew" Now on the face of it dressing up in costume seems like fun. I love glamorous clothes and fine fabrics, so how on earth did I end up, on both occasions I have entered a maskerade, dressed as a man! Freud it's over to you.

Interpreting a fictional character isn't easy. Everyone has their own mental picture of what someone should look like. Occasionally that's taken over by the real life version though. Granny Weatherwax, for me, will always wear Pam Gower's face, and Cohen is forever Kev. But others are more open, I have seen many great interpretations for example, of Susan Death, and of Magrat.

Reading the books (duh!) and getting a feel of the character we want to costume is so important. I always threaten to re read with pencil and notebook to hand to jot down any salient notes for costuming - invariably I end up enthralled by the story and forget the notes. So we end up reading specific bits of book just for the costuming.

We always seem to end up looking at a rough breakdown of the costume, largely because of our relative interests.

Clothing: Any particular pieces of description with regard to the clothing, a breakdown of the individual items of clothing and sketches of how we imagine them to be. Props: a similar process only it's the non-sewing part - the bits that need to be built/made or altered. May be large or small, from Cliff the troll to Tiffany's diseases of sheep book.

Shoes: Cobblers we are not! So finding the right footwear is vital and for us make or break as far as costume is concerned. I've seen many good costumes, which would have been great had the right footwear been used. It's not only the look it's the feel of it too. Glod had to have big heavy metallic looking boots, just as Buddy had to have Blue suede shoes. We are constantly on the look out for shoes to use for costuming.

Staging: how will this look to an audience, how will we present the character(s), appropriate music - if any. The getting on and off stage, will the costume go through the door? How long we will have on stage. A clever idea will work in a few minutes: a poor one won't be helped by a long presentation. How will we leave the stage? Different music to the main section (Sardines walked off to "there's a rat in the kitchen"), the same or no music at all.

So now we have a plan - sort of-ish anyway. It remains fluid right up to the last minute but a basic outline. Now come's the real work, some things take a surprisingly long time, Cliff the Troll was a major construction project - made worse by the fact that we knew if it didn't work the whole entry wouldn't happen. So Ian got busy.

While he was doing that I was thinking about the rest of the costumes, for some reason I just couldn't get a handle on Buddy's look when he was in the band. Drape jacket "shawaddywaddy" style kept springing to mind - but it just didn't work for me. When the idea of the leather jacket, James Dean/early Elvis(h) popped into my head suddenly it worked - although getting suitable blue suede shoes was a little problematic we got them in the end.

Costuming is a strange combination of things, sewing, building, shopping, stagecraft. There are many aspects to a good costume but the main things you need are enthusiasm, perseverance, an eye for detail, and a lot of patience while you hang about backstage!

We have some tentative plans for the Con, but first I need to go shoe shopping!

Wizard’s Score
How high a blast did you manage to achieve?
The highest blast possible is 64 (of course! - one-more-than-seven squared) thaumic units. This can be achieved by placing the wizards as follows:

Guilds Update
The first allocation of Guild memberships has been decided and the results are in this issue (listed below - Ed). We had just over 140 forms, of which 28 were "I feel lucky" and 5 were "No guild, please". There was an upper limit on membership for any one guild, so while most people got into their first choice of guild, a few were assigned to their second or third choice. Where there was competition for spaces, the person with the lower membership number won. The next and final allocation will be at the beginning of June, so keep sending those forms in (there is also an online form in the Programme section of the convention website). After that, you'll have to wait for the convention to get into a guild.

A special vote of thanks goes to those who chose "I feel lucky", for helping to make the spread more even. As a result, fewer people missed out on their first choice. The "I feel lucky" draw will take place after the final allocation in June. First prize is a full membership refund for one person, second prize is guaranteed entry to one of Terry's klatches and third prize is guaranteed entry into one of the non-Terry klatches of your choice. We'll be drawing one first prize, two second prizes and three third prizes.

We have an online forum where Guild matters can be discussed, at http://workshy.com/guilds/forums.cgi . Anybody can join in, though there are private guild-only forums where the individual guilds may plot mischief. For those of you who do not have the time or opportunity to get involved in the Guilds before the convention, do not worry; you will not be excluded. We are reserving a fixed number of places in each Guild for those who wait till they arrive at the convention to join a guild. When you arrive at Registration, you will find the registration area has been invaded by guilds-people offering you exotic bribes or dire threats as enticement to join them. My advice is that you listen politely, smile where appropriate, keep your hand on your wallet and be prepared to run.

13: Trevor’s Teasers
Dibbler’s Pie
CMOT's latest venture is the Takeaway Rat Pie For Seven (with genuine gristle). As the ingredients are distributed unevenly under the crust (not guaranteed GerM free) and held in placed by gravy that can be used to sharpen chisels, you are invited to divide it into seven equal-sized pieces, cutting along the dotted lines of rat dropping decorations so that each diner receives:
One rat's tail
One piece of gristle
One fingernail
One bayleaf

There is only one possible solution. Can you help CMOT solve this tricky problem?

Ops, What It Is and Why You Should Go There
Operations (Ops for short), is the nerve centre of the convention. It is through here that almost all of the information and communications for the con will flow and it is here that the vast majority of answers can be found. Ops is the place to come if you're uncertain about something; you've lost something; you've lost someone or you have something to tell the committee. Ops is both the suggestion box and oracle, rolled into one. Well, two, but I'll get to that in a moment. The general idea is that Ops knows all and sees all, even if we need to sneakily get a bit of help now and again (we may not know every answer, but we're sure to know someone who does and they're likely just a radio call away), so, if in doubt, Go To Ops.

Got all that? Excellent, because I'm about to get a little more detailed. Ops at the DWcon runs in a very specific way. One Irishman (that'd be me, Brian Nisbet) and one Dutchman (that'd be the thin gentleman, Jos Dingjan) sit in their office and attempt to make sure that everyone, be they committee, attendee or guest, know what they need to know and are where they're supposed to be. Thankfully the committee and an awful lot of very helpful attendees give us the information and help we need to make this happen. We're a two man team and we've been doing this for a while, so while we don't for one moment believe we're infallible we do think we have a fairly good handle on what's going on and what everyone at the DWcon needs from Ops. We also know what we need from everyone at the con, but that can be discussed in the bar (is that too blatant Ed?).

So, here's a few hints and tips. First off, Ops operates on a strict policy of "There are no stupid questions". We would ask that before you come up to ask us something you check the Programme Book, the ReadMe and the other information you'll receive at Registration. The vast majority of answers are out in the open and this will save you a journey to the office. What else? Ops is open from roughly 8:00 until, well, at least 23:00, sometimes 01:00 the next morning, it varies. While the office is open to everyone, we do have to say that it isn't really a place for hanging-out. A lot of people come in during the busy hours of the day and we need to make it as easy as possible to give help to those who need it. Every-so-often it may be necessary to ask everyone to be quiet or to leave the room. This is pretty rare, but it does happen.

Much like Bananaman, Ops are ever alert for the call to Action! However, the central point is, if you ever think that you should Go To Ops about something, then do. Regardless of whether it takes us five seconds or an hour to help you out, that's why we're here and the last thing we want (and I'm sure you'd agree), is for you to have missed out on something at the con because you didn't want to bother us. We're here to be bothered and if we don't know you need help then we can't help.
So, altogether now, "Go To Ops!".

15: A Plea for the Discworld Addicts...
I'd like to take this opportunity to call upon the charitable nature of Discworld fans everywhere. In this world there are people, people like you and me, who in a moment of weakness purchased a Discworld Novel. Upon going out in public with this novel, these people were immediately shunned by society due to the style of the book cover, with quiet mutterings of 'witches' and 'fiction geek' being heard from the cruel and heartless (often identified by their brightly coloured nylon shirts) as they pass them by.

These mutterings rarely dissuade these victims from reading the purchased novel - and from there, they become addicted. Forced to feed this addiction, they buy more Discworld Novels, and then even more. Food, Heating, Shoes for the Children, all dismissed for just One More dose of Commander Vimes.

As time passes, money becomes even tighter, and the weakest addicts descend even further. One copy of each book just isn't enough, every edition, every cover MUST be obtained at all costs, every piece of merchandise connected to the books MUST be bought - and so more money MUST be found. (Barbarian costumes don't pay for themselves either, have you seen the cost of a sword these days? Sorry, I digress…) And then, the inevitable happens, they turn to Dealing. (Selling off the items they worked so hard to obtain in order to re-invest the money in yet more goods.)

It's these unfortunate souls I write to you on behalf of now. Just £5 a month could help these Dealers survive their addiction. Donations can be made in many ways, by phone, on the web, and of course, in the aptly named 'Dealers Room' at the Discworld Convention. In this place, all the weakest Discworld addicts turn a trade to fund their life-long problem.

Please, visit them as soon as possible and hand over your donation. The most worthy addict can be identified by their pale complexion, twitching, and tendency to jump slightly and mutter something about Dried Frog Pills when spoken to. If you are very lucky, they may even give you a piece of their hoarded Discworld merchandise in return for your donation. Of course, you may be Unlucky, as some Dealer Addicts have been known to trade nearworthless envelopes for the donations. Thankfully, these are few and far between.

So please, donate as soon as you can. The children need shoes.

NB: The author of this article would like to point out that he is definitely not one of the addicts mentioned here - however, he really could use that £5.

17: A Message from LORD VETINARI
Provost of Assassins
I am always keen to encourage Ankh- Morpork’s entrepreneurial spirit and, to me, this spirit is embodied in the person of Mr Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler. Mr Dibbler does not allow inept service, poor product quality and shocking value to prevent him from pursuing the Ankh-Morpork Dream - to make lots of money for very little effort.

He is also not a man to let the grass grow under his feet - not that grass would stand much of a chance on the streets of Ankh-Morpork. This year, he has come up with a range of new products - including a witty bookmark with the legend, 'I ATE’NT READ' and a charmingly flattering tshirt with the unarguable design - 'Lord Vetinari Rules' (see below, R). For the department store Crumley’s (now relocated to larger premises on Furtive Forth Street), he is producing a festive new badge for their Hogfather to give to his little visitors. In gold with red and green enamel it reads - 'I MET THE HOGFATHER AT CRUMLEYS' (see below, L). But - as Provost of Assassins at my old alma mater, I am particularly pleased that, with this Convention in mind, he is also sponsoring the Assassins’ Guild graduation certificate and its new, discreet, lapel badge.

Fortunately for you, all these products are available through his agent, Stephen Briggs. He has what I believe you call a ‘web site’ with the cryptic address www.cmotdibbler.com Feel free to visit it. I am certain you will find something that will appeal to you.

Contacting CMOT Dibbler
Full details of these, and the rest of, CMOT Dibbler’s exclusive range of Discworld merchandise, including Unseen University scarves and degrees, League of Temperance badges, Mended Drum tea towels, Harga’s apron and much more is available from CMOT’s own roundworld agent, the ever-inefficient Mr Briggs, operating out of a cluttered spare bedroom in Oxford. Details availble from him at sbriggs@cix.co.uk, or by visiting his website, which also links to Stephen’s drama club (for early warning of the next Pratchett play by the Studio Theatre Club).

Answer to this issue’s Teaser
Dibbler’s Pie

Attention Discworld Artists!
How would you like to see your artwork on the front of this year's primary publication from the Discworld Convention - the Convention programme book? Previously the cover art has been provided by established Discworld artists such as Graham Higgins but this year we would like offer this opportunity to the fan community. The prize is a framed print of your work signed by Terry plus you will see your artwork on the front cover of the Convention programme book. I'm sure we can also arrange to have the guests sign their entries to the book bearing your artwork! If for any reason you were not able to attend the Convention we will of course send the print and programme book to you.

If you would like to enter your picture needs to equate to A4 size with a minimum of 300dpi, colour values CMYK. The file should be in .tiff format.

Entries should be sent to: chronicle@dwcon.org (this is the Chronicle editor address).

Questions regarding format and technical details should be addressed to Jenny: dwcon@clanwilliam.net.

The closing date for entries is the 30th May, 2006.

The Copyright bit:
By entering this competition, you agree to allow us to use your work for the Discworld Convention, including, but not limited to, the Convention programme book. All relevant copyrights remain with you. Discworld itself of course remains the copyright of Terry & Lynn Pratchett.
