Mecon 6 Convention in Belfast, 7th-9th March (including 3 days of anime showings)

Hi,

for anyone that's interested..

MeCon 6 will be our sixth annual convention and is to be held from the 7 - 9 March 2003. This year's guests are the science fiction and fantasy authors Peter F Hamilton and Ian McDonald, and comics artist Paul J Holden.

Over the weekend we run a number of events including discussion panels, a table quiz and speeches by the guests. We also run a number of charity events in aid of the convention charity, the Ulster Cancer Foundation's Daffodil Appeal. These will include a coffee morning, an auction of science fiction books signed by the authors and a charity raffle.

As well as having things like video showings, panels, and various other stuff, Mecon will for the first time be having a dedicated anime stream running through the convention. We'll also be having a charity raffle where you can win a selection of anime DVDs from our sponsor, MVM UK.
