MiScon

(Did you mean MisCon in Montana?)

The MiScons were a series of three British conventions in the mid-1990s. The name was derived from the Mercian Science Fiction Triangle, abbreviated as the MiSFiTs, and the venue was the Royal Clarence Hotel in Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, chosen as much as anything because it had its own brewery and a skittle alley. The conventions were invitational, although marginally less so by the third iteration in 1996, and with an emphasis on a single-track programme that sought a high attendance rate. Each convention also featured a semi-staged dramatic performance and pub games tournaments of darts and pool and – because it would have been a shame to waste it – skittles.

A fourth MiScon was mooted but never happened.
