Wintercon 2023 CANCELLED
After the debacle of Wintercon 2022 not having any participation games, the organisers have decided to cancel Wintercon completely for 2023.
The Canberra Games Society runs on a shoestring, and with Covid and inflation, the cupboard is bare. If Cancon 2024 returns to profitability, there may be a Wintercon 2024, but until financial reserves are built up, it's not looking good. Just preserving Cancon is hard enough.
Sorry to hear that Zoe. Fingers crossed for the future
That's a shame - sorry to read this.
Here's hoping the situation improves soon.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
That's a tough outcome, Zoe, lets hope Cancon '24 can fill the coffers a bit and they get back on track.

Sorry yo hear that Zoe. We know the pain, with the long running World Champs and also Sheffield Triples falling by the wayside in the last few years over here. lets hope that things pick up for you next year.

Sad news Zoe - here's hoping the finances recover quickly
Sad news. I had thought of attending too. I was wondering if they might find about an appeal such as fund me or something. Wintercon is a good thing and it brings so many people together.
Sorry to read that.
Convention time is always fun.
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
