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...

Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. 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...

TONY LUCAS HAS A NEW WEBSITE

One of the most important things about the CFZ is how it has become a very real community, even though it is one that only meets up in person occasionally. You may be thinking that this is leading up to another shameless plug for the Weird Weekend and another last chance to buy tickets and you would be partly, but not completely right.

Sad to say, some of the CFZ family won't be here this year. Although Redders is coming over from the U.S. and is being driven down courtesy of Dr Dan, there are several of our compadres in foreign lands who we would love to have with us, but sadly won't be able to make it...

...such as Tony Lucas. He is a bloody good bloke and a dear friend who is CFZ head honcho in New Zealand (well, we couldn't really give that position to my old pal Roo Besley who runs a house of ill repute in Napier), and he has just launched his new website. You can find it here:

And he also has a blog:
