* Sadly, we have lost another speaker. Lindsay Selby, who is one of our favourite writers here on the blog, has pulled out due to ill health. She has been replaced by American film director Sheridan Thaywer who will be presenting excerpts from his new documentary on Ken Campbell, the Fortean actor, playwright and all round good egg who died a couple of years back. Although we will all miss Lindsay (and I have asked her to come next year instead), Sheridan is a welcome addition to the line-up because Ken C was an old mate of us all, and is sadly missed.
With less than three weeks to go, now might be a good time to buy your tickets to the best crypto-fortean event of the year....

In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

Sheridan is a She, not a He. I made the mistake of saying this myself, and had to recant with a red face. Well, a pinkish one anyway. In fact, I mounted a one-man internet offensive to raise interest in its release, as no-one actually knew the documentary existed. I might add that Campbell's 60-minute Fortean Times UnConvention performance (2002) is excellent and available on DVD from Playback Arts. It would certainly be worth screening it at the Weird Weekend too, as it will appeal to Forteans and is his best available performance - adults only!
