In November the second MidCon to be held at the Royal Angus Hotel in Birmingham was held, together with the National Diplomacy Championship. It was generally agreed that this was an overwhelming success, and I, for one, enjoyed the event even more than last year. The National Diplomacy Championships were won by an unknown 17 year-old, Nick Carter, who had just started his first postal game in Mad Policy. The MidCon quiz was won by the Blackmail team of Mike Woodhouse, Colin Gamble and Richard Walkerdine, while Paul Simpkins won the Les Pimley award for services to the hobby. MidCon also saw the conclusion of the Novice Package debate with Paul Simpkins handing the job over to John Wilman (editor) and Martin Le Fevre (printer). Paul will, however, continue to send out packages until the present batch runs out. |
