Announcing AccioUK 2005

[Ali]

Accio UK are pleased to announce that their first convention will
take place over the weekend of 29-31st July 2005 at Reading
University, UK. Places are limited by the size of the venue, so
early registration will be encouraged.

Accio 2005 will be a friendly event, bringing together adult Harry
Potter fans to discuss all aspects of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter
books, in what we believe to be the first such conference in the UK.
Planned events include presentations, panels, speeches, games, live
chess, a banquet, and informal discussions into the small hours!

Those wishing to attend Accio 2005 should apply for full membership.

As well as attendance at the convention, full membership gives
voting rights over the next committee and conference location. Fans
who will be unable to attend the convention, but wish to be
involved, should join as supporting members. Supporting membership
gives access to a programme of events and a post convention write-
up, as well as voting rights. Membership fees will be non-refundable.

Further details, including key dates and fees, will be posted
shortly. Meanwhile, if you are interested in volunteering for the
convention please register at the Accio 2005 volunteer Yahoo Group:
