We had a great welcome from the University of Northampton. They have been great all weekend and gone the extra mile. Plan is to be back here next year!

First game of ManorCon. The committee are playing steam power after a good planning meeting with the university and meal at Oriental Garden

A single room in Margret Bondfield. Can’t wait until tomorrow.

The forecast for the weekend at Northampton is looking far more comfortable than last year. The main convention all in one building reducing chances of getting wet.

2 sleeps until ManorCon XLI 2025 This year we have over 330 people pre-registered with over 240 people onsite. This is an increase on last year's numbers of about 20%.

The 2025 ManorCon XLI Programme Booklet is now available to download from our Website at manorcon.org.uk/manorcon-202...

Just picked up the committees new T-shirts. Hopefully this will make us easy to spot, together with the balloon.

Something different this year, we have pull up signs to help. One of a few changes we are implementing this year.

Less than a week until we welcome people to ManorCon XLI (2025). We can't wait for everyone to join us at @uninorthampton.bsky.social on Friday 18th July!
