(Did you mean the 1988 Eastercon?)

Follycon (and they insist its not Follycon 2) was the 2018 Eastercon, held in Harrogate, 30 March – 2 April 2018, with GoHs Kieron Gillen, Christina Lake, Nnedi Okorafor, and Kim Stanley Robinson. The committee were Alison Scott, Steve Davies, Michael Abbott, Caroline Mullan, Alice Lawson, Phil Nanson, Kari Sperring and Paul Taylor. A great success, during a very wet weekend. The bid for 2020 for Manchester had to fold, no formal replacement was put forward, but a scratch committee hope to present a one year bid next year for Concentric2020 to be held in the Birmingham NEC Metropole.

The convention had factsheets rather than PRs, and the newsletter was called Foolscap. Both are available here.
