About FuyuCon
Why are you running a convention?
When East Midlands Anime Group formed we jokingly said as soon as we reach 100 members on our forums we'd run a convention; thinking that this will take several years to achieve, as we didn't think the uptake of a university independent anime club would be as popular as it has proven to be.
As it happened and much to the EMAG committee's surprise we managed to reach that number of forum members after one year of holding anime showing meets. Since that happened we have albeit slowly been working on the ground work to make this event happen.
Why call it FuyuCon?
The convention is named FuyuCon as the convention will be running in the cross over of seasons between autumn and winter and the Japanese word for winter is fuyu.
Where are you holding FuyuCon?
We're looking at holding FuyuCon in Nottingham as Derby where EMAG is based doesn't have the facilities needed to carry out an anime convention.
Why is there over a year between FuyuCon announced and it actually running?
Basically we are trying to make sure everything is well planned and runs smoothly over the whole weekend for the people who attend.
Why are you running FuyuCon over that weekend?
Because the guideline October half term for the schools in England start over that weekend. This is also the best date where concerning other UK conventions as it runs as far as possible date wise from them.
