We are very delighted to announce that the convention was a resounding success! All the guest artists did a fantastic job throughout the weekend, and everyone had a wonderful time. We have added up the profits now that the dust has settled, and are very pleased to announce that we were able to raise close to £10,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust!

An event like this isn't easy to pull off, and many individuals have put in an extraordinary amount of time and effort over the past year to make this happen.  We would like to thank the following for all their hard work and support.
