WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...

By the Way: CFZ News

Mark and I will be starting a revamp to the website when I return next week, but in the meantime there are a few changes to the Permanent Directorate.

1. Oll Lewis is confirmed as Ecological Director, and has taken over Elliot Saunders's old jonb as EIM

2. Suzi Marsh has taken over Elliot Saunders's other old job as Corporate Fund Raiser. (Elly by the way, as some of you know, retired due to ill health some months ago and we wish him well).

3. David Phillips is now part of the Permanent Directorate, although his title will not be confirmed for a few weeks

4. Helen Bond, who is totally invaluable as CFZ housekeeper, has been unanimously voted onto the Permanant Directorate - we just haven't told her yet

ALSO

The following speakers have now been added to the bill for the Weird Weekend:

PAUL CROWTHER
PAUL CROPPER
RICHARD INGRAM

We are planning a number of new attractions, including films, exhibitions, a demonstration of crop circle construction, and a Mad Hatter's Tea Party for the kids. More details when we get them. Although we can confirm that we shall be revisiting an old feature of the WW that we haven't done since 2002 - Devon cream teas in the afternoon! That should make Judith J happy...........
