    Speaking of the hunt, when will the footage from the convention be able to view / download (if ever)? Thanks.

      pops her hand up

      Easter is also a peak time for B&Bs and there will be more people around than usual, families going away for the Easter hols, and also people who have discovered there is 10 minutes of Sun and will make a mad dash to the beach.

      Social, yes, Hunt? Possibly, but deffo the wrong time of year for it in Blackpool, methinks.

        If there is a Hunt (and it is a very big IF) it would be a complete rewrite of the concept specifically with Blackpool in mind. There wouldn't be Goblin chases or lone NPCs hanging around for obvious safety reasons

          Longtime lurker but this topic caught my eye as a local boy...

          Count me (and my girlfriend who thanks to Geek Week and most re-runs in now one of us) in!

            The Midnight Hunt footage from the convention is on the cards. There are a few directional difficulties that need to be overcome first.

            Convention DVDs will be available "soon".

                    Count me in for this, are there any proposed dates for this yet?

                    I personally would prefer this as a knees up for lots for fruity drinks!

                      For summer I will get to Blackpool. Count me in. Whitby was great fun and I am sure Blackpool would be the same.

                        I, for one, am interested in Blackpool. Socially, this works out best for me but I am open with other options. It is always nice to have a social and meet up, with those I have made quick friends with especially as Whitby went so well.

                          Very encouraged by the good feedback from Whitby and good to see people from that event will be coming over this way.

                            I'm now not so sure I'll be able to make this meet. I've changed jobs and industry, and my leave hasn't yet been assigned (shift work, yay!), so put a huge question mark next to my name.

                              From a few conversations I've had with people, it's sounding as if the end of July is the optimal time for most people. Any particular objections to that kind of time frame?

                                I should say...

                                End of July or the first weekend in August.

                                  Vote for the end of July here, if possible. I'm giving my sister away on Monday 8th August (at her wedding, not to smugglers), so I'd be probably be expected to get back to the North East by Saturday night. The dubious perils of being a brother and oft-time grown-up.

                                    End of July good here too!

                                    Give your sister away huh, I couldn't even pay Gavin to take mine! I didn't lose a sister but gained a fantastic brother-in-law and now have a niece and nephew as spoils of war. Someone should have told him there in no turning back...

                                        One thing that occurs to me is that the final weekend in July is a bank holiday weekend. It therefore might not be a good idea to go that weekend because transport will be more busier and expensive, hotels will be rarer (and more expensive), and pleasure beach itself will be much busier.

                                        As a possible alternative, would the weekend of 2 July suit people?

                                          Are you sure? The next official Bank Hol after the end of May is the end of August.[https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays]

                                          Is this a secret one?
