BEDFORD WHO CHARITY CON 6:

RESCHEDULED TO SATURDAY 10th APRIL

"I’m very sorry about this – but it’s become clear that the national situation won’t be anything like back to normal by October, so we’ve had to reschedule the convention. Again. Bedford Who Charity Con 6 will now take place on Saturday 10th April 2021; the venue will be The King’s House conference centre in Ampthill Road, Bedford.

Well, we tried. When we originally rescheduled for October, it was on the best evidence then available; as you know, the evidence changes all the time and it’s now clear that October just isn’t viable. We did look at the possibility of running a socially distanced convention, but couldn’t make it work – and it was also clear that it wouldn’t be any fun, either!

Obviously, we can’t be absolutely certain that all will be well by next April. Even so, the signs are that the country will be in much better shape by then; the vaccine trials (particularly the Oxford one) are doing well and are pretty far advanced. It’s impossible to be sure, but it does look as though the new date will work. Rest assured that we’ll only go ahead if it’s safe to do so.

The guests are all being invited back for April 10th; we’re hoping, too, to be able to invite some new guests as well. We’ll keep you posted here and on our website about who’s coming."
