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...

BUGFEST 2012



The new year sees preparations for Bugfest 2012 firmly underway. Bugfest is Yeovil’s own creepy crawly show and has gone from strength to strength from humble beginnings in a church hall in 2008. Last year’s event saw an impressive 860 visitors attending where activities ranged from arts and crafts and face painting for the little ones, to impressive stands displaying invertebrates and reptiles, and interactive informational stands. With stalls on sale now from as little as £10, this event is a great way to network, share information and sell.

Bugfest are already taking bookings from independent and established traders and are very keen to welcome small hobbyists to sell and display their livestock. Volunteers are also once again required and in return, you get free entry to the event. All booking details are on the website www.bugfest.co.uk, by emailing nick@bugfest.co.uk or calling Nick on 01935 433185.
