Talk:Nattercon

I have two dates for the possible 20th anniversary 1999 and 2009. --Morgandawn 08:07, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I'd sitck with 2009 as that's how the math looks. Mrs. Potato Head 13:15, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

My bad. I came up with the 1989 'start' date after reading a post from someone saying 2009 was the 20th. But then I read another that said 1999 was the 20th - making the first convention 1979. In short....we need better data!--Morgandawn 16:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

In reply to Morgandawn, Nattercon and A Weekend in the Country were unequivocally two different things, organised by different groups of people, and with a distinct chronological break between them. And there was absolutely no convention as early as 1979; somebody's calculations are faulty there. Vermeil 06:32, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Vermeil

OK, since you have more knowledge, can you help fill in the gaps? Ex: when and where did the UK Weekend in the Country take place? When and where did Nattercon take place? Who were the organizers/groups. If you don't have the details don't worry - what I'll do is move your comment to the front page to flesh out the facts. We may get more details that way. I'll also move the Weekend info to its own page - I need to make a disamb page as there are two Weekend in the Country events - one onr in the UK and one in the US. --Morgandawn 06:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

More Date Change

This page said it began in 1989 which fits the 20th anniversary in 2009. But The Professionals Timeline says this con began in 1990. Also, October 26, 1989 was a Thursday and October 26, 1990 was a Friday, which makes the 1990 date fit better. So, there is still confusion. I went ahead and changed the date on this page to 1990, but those in the know will have more info. --Mrs. Potato Head 13:29, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
