Raffle. One of the highlights of the weekend is the free raffle, which we hold on the Sunday morning as part of our AGM. Everybody gets to choose a prize, and sometimes, thanks to the generosity of their fellow attendees, everybody gets to choose two!
In the past, we've had books, dvds, stationery, action figures and other fandom toys, wine, chocolates, offers of original artwork (including custom-made story banners), and beautiful knitted items, all donated by our generous attendees.
So, when you pack your suitcase, please don't forget to bring one or two items for the raffle!
Travel immoral_crow has pointed out that 13-15 September is welcome weekend for Coventry University so please be aware that the roads may be extra busy.
