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...

WEIRD WEEKEND 2014: Do your bit for Jon's Mental Health

I realised with a jolt late last night that there is only six months left until the Weird Weekend. This is where I always start to panic that no-one is going to turn up. So if you want to do my mental health a real favour and if you are intending to come, book your tickets early it will reassure my battered psyche.

Every year I panic, and every year it works out OK. But It would be really nice if we could sell enough tickets in advance so that I know it will be alright. We only need to sell another 25 to stop me fretting...

THE LATEST RUNNING ORDER HERE

Also, I am proud to announce three new Guests:

John Higgs: "Chaos, Magick, and the band who burned a million quid". A talk based around his extraordinary book about the KLF which includes chaos magick, a history of the Discordian movement, and actually drops hints about the true nature of what we laughingly call reality.

C.J. Stone:  The Modern King Arthur. The life and times, and Chris Stones' life and times with the modern incarnation of the legendary King Arthur; road protester, environmental activist, and victor in several landmark court cases against HM Government.

Carl Marshall: Out of Place animals at Stratford Butterfly Park Carl Marshall is one of the young turks who are rapidly becoming invaluable to the CFZ. His day job at the Stratford Butterfly park has put him in poll position to be given creatures of Fortean Zoological importance
