Open to all budding or experienced Fools, Beasts and Morris Characters from any team from the Ring, Open or Federation.
This year's Unconvention will be based at St Mabyn Holiday Park, Bodmin, Cornwall, PL30 3BY and will involve workshops, Saturday bus tour to Wadebridge, Bodmin – and a seaside resort!
The Feast is planned to be on site. Plus the AGM of course - your chance to have your say!
Accommodation is either in lodges or caravans, bring sleeping bag, or linen if you want to be posh; there may also need to be spaces on the floor, so bring airbed/campbed just in case. Outdoor camping and camper vans also accepted – there may be an extra charge for electric hook up. There are toilets and a shower block available for campers. Dogs are welcome.
The role of the fool or beast is to supplement, and not detract, from the main purpose of the show – the dancing! Attending the Unconvention and taking part in the workshops will give delegates the chance to learn or revise techniques in which standards of fooling and beasting can be enhanced, which has always been the aim of the Illustrious Order of Fools and Beasts from its inception.
So, whether you are a budding, novice or experienced Fool or Beast, please come along to this year’s Unconvention! (Or, if you can’t make it, next year’s!)
We will need to know at time of application which sort of accommodation you prefer, using the form below.
Cost: approx. £65 per person. (Costings have yet to be finalised; some arrangements are still provisional
and maybe subject to change – but hopefully not!)
Closing date for Applications 6th October 2014.
