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...

YESTERDAY'S NEWS TODAY

Yesterday’s News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1995 Paul Eddington died. Eddington was best known for his roles in British comedies, The Good Life and Yes Minister/Prime Minister. There is nothing particularly Fortean about that but Yes Minister is one of my favourite TV shows of all time so I’m sure you can forgive me the indulgence.
And now the news:

JUST A SPOT OF HOUSEKEEPING



We have done some cleaning up on the CFZ websites. We have got rid of the domain CFZtv.org, and are using our YouTube channel instead. We have fixed a few dodgy links, and amended the blurb about CFZtv. We will be doing more odds and sods throughout the day so if anyone has problems getting on to the site, please be forbearing....

UNCON UPDATE, AND REQUEST FOR HELP



The CFZ will be at Uncon this year; Richard is lecturing, and Corinna and I will have a stall. However, we will have less CFZfolk than usual, so if there are any blogfolk out there who fancy lending a hand on the stall or doing a spoot of videoing for CFZtv please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk


By the way, some people were speculating on the FT Message Board that my non-appearance as a speaker is because of my failing health. It is kind of you to be concerned. My health is fairly poor these days, but the main reason I am not on the bill is that there was nothing that I actually wanted to talk about this year..


See you on the day...
