I too have one of these courtesy of @clanwilliam.bsky.social who made & distributed them at the last DWCon in Hinckley.

Separately, it was lovely to see you there, although I suspect you didn't recognise me as I had come up for the day and was in the public cafe having missed out on a ticket.

DWCon Informed Photo & Video Consent Form
Throughout the International Discworld Convention (DWCon), we would like to capture some of the magic – including photos and video footage of the Convention, the people, and the brilliant things that happen across the long weekend. Images or clips might be shared live during the event (for example, via social media like Bluesky or Instagram) to spread the joy in real time. How photographs and videos are used Photos and videos help us showcase the heart and soul of DWCon. They may be used to: Share what we’ve all been up to. Promote future Conventions. Celebrate community, creativity, and truly fabulous costumes. Thank supporters and attract new ones. Photos may be taken during panels, workshops, performances, cosplay moments, and more informal happenings as well. These are securely stored and used with care, always in line with what you’ve agreed to in this form. How your image might be used Examples of where your photo or video might appear include: On DWCon’s website, blog, or social media platforms. In newsletters or wrap-up reports. Shared with partners or funders to show the magic of the event. In fan press or local/national media (but only with further consent – see below). Your rights You can withdraw consent at any point – during the Convention or later – and we will respect that. Nothing will be used without your consent, and you’ll never be penalised or disadvantaged for opting out. DWCon’s responsibilities All media is stored and used in line with our GDPR policy.

There is that. Worldcon going *before* DWCon will be different

DWCon is perfectly capable of overlapping a Worldcon, sadly. In 2010 we had to check out of the Metropol early in order to get home, unpack, repack and get to the airport in time to fly down under. It's as well that Terry was skipping that Worldcon despite his love of Oz
August 30, 2026 at 7:58 PM
Yup, that's one of the factors that's particularly tempting. And the fact it probably shouldn't overlap with DWCon.

T’as perdu un truc à DWCon ? Dommage, mais au moins ils font l’effort de gérer les objets trouvés.

Heh. I just took out my old badge collection to show my neice and nephew who are visiting, and look what I found... #DWCon

New phrase I intro'd at dwcon : 'Pratchett accidentally trans'd the fandom'
'er?'
'trans people were intro'd as normal and main characters, and he leant hard into dwarves being explicitly genderqueer.'
'oh so known as a safe space so they flocked to it.'
'yeppers.'

I can see in the DWCon photos we took that my hands were swollen throughout but they're back to normal now, more or less, and it's much easier to do things like holding a toothbrush.

Thank you for name-checking Wiggins. He was part of my DWCon attending gang even before I knew you, and separtely an amazing scholar of English literature, who I haven't seen in far too many years.

I'd have missed it anyway, I was away at DWCon

Had to travel by train to DWCon last weekend owing to my car failing its MOT. Very happy to have acquired a replacement today; may have used the heat as an excuse to celebrate with Ben & Jerry's

Finally left #DWCon when the hotel was starting to look empty, and of course there's now a big incident on the M6 with delays of over an hour showing. But at least it was a good excuse to stop at the services and have an ice cream by the lake while it hopefully clears.

Con done.
Away I head. Back in two years.

On the train home from #DWCon #DWCon2026. Caught up with people I haven't seen IRL in the two years since the last one, and others not for more than twenty. Thanks folks, love you all loads, and see you at the next one. I should've caught up on the sleep by then...

Another Discworld Convention over (the official bit at least). Time seems to accelerate so five days disappear in a moment. It's been so lovely to see everyone, including folks I haven't seen in 20 years. This was the 30th anniversary, I hope I can keep up my 100% attendance until the 60th! #DWCon

Closing Ceremony at @dwcon.org announces we raised over £30,000 for the charities #dwcon #dwcon2026

I am right now at #DWCon2026 #dwcon @dwcon.org , and there is much love for Wincanton amongst the con goers here.

Weirdly, had the same at the Sydney DWCon earlier this years - bars closed at midnight. They just don't understand us 😂

#DWCon #DWCon2026 I have no idea what this is, but I found it on a chair on 3rd floor, and will be handing it to Ops.

I'll wave when you next come by. I'm in a DWCon t-shirt, so easy to spot ;-)
