Nice thread [MENTION=14824]Donisia[/MENTION] Would be pretty cool if we could get this thread sticky'd and if you dont mind updating it, then we can all know whats happening when, lets see what [MENTION=289]Jan[/MENTION] thinks?

Sounds like a plan. We have a calendar as well, but I think it'd be far more likely that people will check a thread than the calendar.

A few other events come to mind:

• FanCon - The Lookout, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town: 7-8 May (link)
• Free Comic Book Day - various venues: 7 May (noticing a trend?)
• Icon - Johannesburg (http://www.rpg.co.za/)
• A MAZE - Johannesburg (http://www.amaze-johannesburg.co.za/)
• KINCON

GeekFest looks interesting.

GeekFest looks interesting.

I went last year, and it was pretty cool... The only thing that annoyed me was the amount of stalls that have little to nothing to do with "Geeks" still worth the time, the Cos Play was incredible!

I actually recently moved to the Western Cape and went through a "Arrgghhhh I moved away from all the cool Expo's and fests!" crisis, but I feel like FanCon might be a redeeming factor. Definitely in my diary! I just wonder how it will be...

Hi all

AI-fest is next weekend. Entrance is R30 and it's great chance to find secret Santa ideas.

We are also hosting the first Pokemon tournament of the 2017 calendar, great chance to build points for worlds.
