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...

FORTHCOMING GUPPY WEEKEND

The guppy weekend has been confirmed to take place on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th February 2011. The event will again be held at the Nottingham Gateway Hotel, just off junction 26 of the M1 motorway in Nottingham. It is the same venue as last year's guppy weekend and of course the BLA Convention and Guppy Show in October. Rooms (including breakfast) will cost £59.00 for a single room or £65.00 for a double/twin if they are booked through the organisers. Anyone who wishes to book their own accommodation, and also anyone who will be attending as a 'day visitor' please inform Steve Elliott in order that appropriate facilities can be organised.

Anyone is welcome to attend - you do not have to be a member of the BLA, and indeed the event is FREE. The first leg of the UK guppy League will take place on Saturday afternoon. Sunday will include a run through of the results and even the chance to have a go at judging the fish, if that is what you wish. A great opportunity to see all the good features of live fish rather than pictures!

It is very important that those who will be attending contact the organisers to book a place. Please contact Steve Elliott Stephen.elliott1@virgin.net to book a place or to book accommodation.
