As many may already be expecting, sadly we have to officially announce that HandyCon August 2022 will not be going ahead.

We are still in the process of finding a new home for HandyCon and hope to be running the next event in 2023.

@DavidHughesTwit We'll take a look, thanks!

[HandyCon @HandyConGaming]

The Holiday Inn Maidenhead will be closing from the 1st April 2022 for the foreseeable future. This means that they have cancelled all future event bookings and as such we are now looking for alternate venues for our August event.

Due to the uncertainty and progression of the pandemic we sadly have to announce that we have made the decision not to run events this April and June.

We are hoping that we will be able to go ahead this August but this of course depends on where we are with the pandemic.

[HandyCon @HandyConGaming]

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak and after careful consideration we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel HandyCon August 2020.
