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...

BOOK LAUNCH IN BUNGAY

David Waldron writes....

Hi Jon,

Just thought I should let you know for CFZ members that we are having a launch by my co-author Chris Reeve at St Mary's in Bungay (the site of the 1577 attack) on the 27th of March at midday. It is being hosted by the Friends of St Mary's and the Bungay Museum. It should be a pleasant day out in the Waveney Valley. A chance to see the sights and locations of the story and to speak with one of the most knowledgeable historians on the Black Dog of Bungay and a veritable fountain of information of Suffolk ghost stories and cryptid legends from the Waveney Valley.


You can get a copy of the new book too ;-)


Anyway I most definitely recommend it to all and very much wish I was there from far off Australia.


We will have a smaller launch here in Australia in April hosted by the University of Ballarat details will be coming soon.

Now I am off to do more digging into the folklore and stories of Big Cats in Australia. I have to say the more I get into the material the richer and more complex it seems.

best
David Waldron
