Dear all

Just to let you know some interesting names who will be at the BOS 40th anniversary convention in Cambridge 6-9 Sept 07.

Apart from special guests Eric Joisel (France), Miyuki Kawamura (Japan) and Robert Lang (USA), I have it on pretty good authority that the following will be with us too...

Alex Bateman UK
Edwin Corrie France/UK
Max Hulme UK
Gilad Aharoni Israel/USA
Ravi Apte India
Mark Boiltho UK
Krystyna Burczyk Poland
Clare Chamberlain Australia
Marieke de Hoop Holland
Rikki Donachie UK
Aurele Duda France
Tomoko Fuse Japan
Satoshi Kamiya Japan
David King UK
Susanna Kricskovics Hungary
Tung Ken Lam UK
Ann LaVin USA
John McKeever N Ireland
Marcio Noguchi Brazil/USA
Tony O'Hare UK
Nick Robinson UK
June Sakamoto USA
Giles Towning UK
Sharon Turvey UK
Herman Van Goubergen Belgium
Jean-Claude Vanzut France
Paula Versnick Holland
Makoto Yamaguchi Japan

This isn't a complete list: there'll be at least 150 delegates, and now accommodation is fully booked. But you can come as a day vistor: you need to book and pay beforehand here.

Looking forward to an astounding weekend and to seeing lots of you there.


Yours

I can't go to it, but this Fall there IS going to be a convention in Vancouver. It's the Pacific Coast Origami Conference 2007. It's held every two years in the fall, somewhere near the west coast. (Two years ago it was in Phoenix, and two before that it was in San Diego, the only convention I've been to.) Go to http://www.pcoc2007.com

Agh, I'd still probably have to wait a few years until I can travel by myself since 1) I'm starting college on Sep. 26th and 2) My parents wouldn't let me go alone (I haven't met other origami enthusiasts yet, hopefully that will change in college). But it's a nice group of people here too. I should start an origami convention fund ASAP, haha. :lol:

I am still not sure if I am coming or not.

The British government has done all that it can to shaft junior / middle grade doctors, and despite 16 days of turmoil, the rota for the hospital I am working at is still not finalised.

I allegedly have the 6th to the 9th off.

Hopefully I'll attend for some of it...

Hi!

Who is going to the formal dinner? And anyone knows if there'll be entertainment and stuff or if it's more about organisational-issues?

I had a lot of fun the last time I attended the BOS convention (5 years ago),
and I'm very happy to attend this year. Can't wait to get there and meet y'all.

When it says "formal", some of us won't be wearing ties ;)

I'm organising entertainment for friday night, if you can dance, sing or tell rambling jokes, let me know...
