I know this is highly unlikely to be near the top of anyone's agenda
But is there a way to put on a 45th bash maybe by bringing in a partner company (who may run an existing type of convention)
My thinking is that it really did seem to bring old reader's back in to the fold.
And frankly the 50th seems such a long way.
I know it's a 'no' but maybe with a partner who was willing to take it on?
I think the 40th sold out and the hotel and bar did a great trade too. Demand is there from the punters - wonder if Tharg has the appetite? If it sways him one way or the other, I'm in!
I had a fantastic time at the 40th - in part due to many of the fine folks here - and would love to see another such event. You get the impression it was a lot of effort for not much (if any return) but if there was any possibility I'd be right up for it.

I think I just heard MOLCH-R's stress circuits burn out from here. ;)

The 40th event was literal lightning in a bottle - I cannot see it being replicated in future years due to the absence of creators and fans we have since lost, and those we could possibly lose before the 50th.
Maybe for the 45th we could just all meet in a park with a bag of cans and a picnic.

Would it be okay if I brought a Toffee Crisp?

Are you going to bring one for everybody?
Well, considering that somebody somewhere is eating one ...
I'm fighting with Mint Aero Block.....

I'd be willing to have a 45th with Kev O'Neil and Brian Bolland in attendance. They were obvious omissions. I agree 6 years is along time so I'd accept an event at an earlier year even if the centenary wasnt as prestigious...

A Hershey might be welcome.

Because the record for attendance at 2000AD events outside of London isn't generally terrible?
You get one dizzy....
