Faancon 7

Faancon 7 was a convention held on February 18–20 1982 in the Parklands Hotel, Oxford, UK. It was organised by Dave Langford ('boss') and Kevin Smith ('minion'). The programme book lists 32 members although notes that not all intended to attend.

The initial announcement from c. April 1981 quoted membership rates of £1.50 'per Household' with 'up to £1.00 (depending on Inflation and Rapacity in High Places) refunded if you attend Faancon 7'. Hotel rates were £10 per person per night and the assumption was that most people would stay Friday and Saturday.

The programme book apologised that there was no room to contain for the programme.

In Ansible #30 (November 1982), Dave Langford reported that:

Faancon would theoretically fall in February 1983, but it seems that no one wants to organize it: this tiny no-programme event has probably outlived its usefulness thanks to today's rash of conventions. Bye-bye, Faancon...?
