*sigh* Despite our best efforts to minimise concrud from Continuum 16, we unfortunately are aware of a number of attendees and committee who have tested positive to Covid.

If you attended this year, we strongly recommend you test yourself, and above all, look after yourself.

Two hours until the start of the long awaited Continuum 16: Reboot! (ARGH!)

If you're planning on being active on the social media, use hashtag #c16Reboot so we can easily find all of the awesome!

See you soon.

[Continuum Convention @continuum_con]

Less than 24 hours until... Continuum!

The Guests of Honour have all arrived, the panels are scheduled, the karaoke machine is paid for, the venue is mapped, and the con committee is all sleep deprived. We're ready, are you?

As part of Continuum 15 we got pins made... which didn't actually arrive in time.

As a result we are selling them, one con and a few years later. They will be $15 each, or two for $25, and will be available from the rego desk.

To preorder email [email protected]

[Continuum Convention @continuum_con]

Interested in checking out a little bit of what Continuum has to offer? Friday only memberships available for just $5, payable at the door!

Come to panels on Continuum 101 or the movie Barbie, a discussion on Your Worst Nightmare, or the Roundtable on writing smut, and more!

[Continuum Convention @continuum_con]

As part of our book swap at Continuum 16: Reboot, we will be passing all donations on to the Indigenous Literacy Fund so they can gift culturally relevant books to remote First Nations communications.

Want to help? You can: https://t.co/xdJ1HJFpDq

[Continuum Convention @continuum_con]

In addition...

Got too many books that you don't know what to do with? Need more books to add to your library?

At the book swap table you can bring a book, take a book, with a gold coin donation minimum, and all donations going to Indigenous Literacy Fund

[Continuum Convention @continuum_con]

Good news everybody! The Continuum 16: Reboot program is now (mostly) live! It lives, it lives!

(There are a couple of gaps while we wait for confirmation from a small number of panellists, and other small bits of organisation to occur.)

[Continuum Convention @continuum_con]

Continuum is less than 2 weeks away, and we have finalised our ConCrud policy.

In short: Masks will be worn at all times, unless you have a valid reason. Masks will be provided free to all members, but you can wear your own.
