27th May, 2002From the organisers of DwarfCon
--
It is with much sadness that we must announce the cancellation of DWARFCON 7. This cancellation has occurred due to a loss of our venue, and an inability to be able to find a replacement venue.
On Sunday May 16, 2002, the committee of DWARF received a hand delivered letter from Lyndale Secondary College. This letter informed us that as of May 31, 2002, Lyndale Secondary College would be unavailable for hire by any community or outside group. Over the past week, the committee and other members of DWARF have tried to find a replacement venue for not only DWARFCON 7, but for DWARF itself. Sadly, all attempts at present to find a venue that we can currently afford has failed. Therefore, we have no option but to cancel DWARFCON 7 at this time. Hopefully, we might be able to run again some time in the future, but as DWARF itself no longer has a venue for weekly gaming, this currently does not look hopeful
Those of you who have offered games, we thank you and appreciate the effort you have put in. And those who have already entered, we thank you too. If you have already forwarded a payment to us, we will shortly be sending you either a full refund, or your unbanked cheque.
If you have any queries, please contact us either via the DWARF or DWARFCON websites, or via email.

From the Jester con website - It is with a heavy heart I regret to
inform you that Jester-Con 2002 has
had to be postponed indefinitely. A
policy change at our venue has left
us
in the position of having to rush to
fulfill their requirements - and
possibly not meet them, or
postponing and doing our level best
to meet these new requirements. We
as a committee decided to postpone
Jester-Con at this time until we can
be certain we meet the venue's new
terms. We felt that we could not
leave the decision any longer as
soon
people will be making travel plans,
especially those people from
interstate.

Arcanacon has announced a date change - its only a small one - but due
to the announcement of Monday 28th of January, Arcanacon has moved
from the Thurs 24th to Sun 27th, to running from Friday the 25th to
Monday the 28th of January to better take advantage of the long
weekend.
MacqaurieCon is back on! After a hiatus last yeas, its back under new management on 14th to 16th of December (2001) at Macquarie University.
Melbourne University roleplaying club Infinite Images has announced they will not be running Unicon this year. Instead a new one day venture called Intensecon will be running on the 1st of December. All the roleplaying and food you can possibly fit into one day and than some, plus lots of old favourite games running.
Necronomicon is not far off at all, starting the 29th of September, thats a week and a bit away. Its held in Newtown Performing Arts Colledge in Newtown, Sydney. It's always been one of my favourite cons.
