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...

SAD NEWS FROM THE LATEST ENTOMOLOGICAL LIVESTOCK GROUP NEWSLETTER

THE KETTERING ENTOMOLOGICAL FAIR: I regret to inform members that the Kettering Fair has expired. It's an ex-fair. Apparently, a new floor is being laid in the venue and they no longer want feet-shuffling entomologists messing up the new floor. I am told that the Kettering Fair will now be merged with the Newark Fair and this will now be held in April 2010 and renamed as the Newark & Kettering Entomological Fair. Further information and dates to be announced.

Any of you who recently attended the Newark Fair on Dec 6th may already be aware of the details. For those of you not already familiar with the Newark venue, it's at the Grove Leisure Centre, Balderton, near Newark, Notts, just off the edge of the A1; so it's a nice central venue as far as the UK is concerned, and the venue is fairly big with rooms for expansion, so I hope the transfer from Kettering to Newark will still continue to attract many visitors. I will publish more details as soon as I have them. [Ed]

This is just another example of the marginalisation of Natural History as a hobby in the UK, and is one of the things that we as activists should be fighting against.
