I got a double room within 5 mins of the convention for Â£38, so if you've missed out, Penny will send a list of hotels.

I promise, there will be (at least one hundred) photographs!

Hi,

The convention is now over and I have just transferred all the images from the weekend onto the computer.

After I've edited them, I'll post them to the forum. After that, I'll need lots of sleep!

It was a pleasure to meet everyone in Leicester, in particular Anna (origami_8), Gerwin (DayDreamer), Alex (formerly Imagiro), Dennis Walker (DenOri), Nick Robinson (Nick), David Brill, John McKeever (JMck), Mark Leonard (mleonard) ... and everyone else!

Hope to see you very soon!

This was very good, we were around enthusiast 80 folders, we participated so several interesting classes. I personally appreciated the presentation of the work of Nicolas Terry, and the nice atmosphere of sharing tips, ideas and models of all the folders.

Big thanks to Anna&Daydreamer for the lended room and the great presentation of very little complex models, and to saj for the book !

Really many shots!

I am very sad, that I was not on convention. I had a problem with sponsor and one other thing: my (girl)friend married on saturday, so you understand, that I could not go to anywhere but only to her marriage...

Nice - on museum stairs.

Ummm.... if your girlfriend married .... shouldn't you be the one she marries?

Anyway, we had a really great time at the convention. Has been very nice to meet all of those who were there and hope to see you all again some day

that's one of the most confusing parts in english language

girlfriend can be your lassy, your beloved or just only a good (platonic) female friend. in german it's easy: there are female friends and matresses

(please don't take this serious

I'm just kidding... maybe I should really get rid of those pills

IsnÂ´t 'female friend' 'Freundin' in German, which in turn also means 'girlfriend' (meaning female lover)?

I do not know how to say in English... My friend married. But she is a woman and I feel to pinpoint that, because I do not know her (now) husband.

I am married for one year... already.

(I am just kiding, I am very happy.)

Hi Nikhil, thank you for your kind comments regarding my website. Are you a member of Origami Mitra - I believe they hold exhibitions in India.

Diagrams for the Koala were published in the convention guide, let me just grab my copy to confirm ...
