Lazlar Lyricon II: 22-25 May 1998
   

The convention was a massive success and made over £460 for the convention charities chosen by Douglas Adams (Save the Rhino International and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund). Rob McKenna drove past quickly at one point but mainly the weather held out.

Review

The complete write-up of everything: If you didn't attend, this is what you missed. Three Germans, one Israeli, several people from Wales and Scotland and a whole hoard of barbarian invaders from Ireland managed to attend. The eldest was over 50, and the Youngest 15.

Results

Everyone who attended was assigned into one of two teams, the G'Gugvuntts and the Vl'Hurgs. All the activities throughout the convention awarded Megapoints which counted towards your own personal score and therefore your team.

Guest of Honour, Mike Cule, helped lead the Vl'Hurgs to an easy victory. The G'Gugvuntts inherent inferiority let them down and they were trounced so thouroughly that the Vl'Hurgs didn't even bother noticing that Arthur had actually started it all in the first place and so didn't attack Earth at all!

KIM (Vl'Hurg) was the overall winner on 55 Megapoints (mainly due to large numbers of points gained in the daily Hunt the Wocket games), with Nina the highest scoring G'Gugvuntt on 44 Megapoints. Both received Rorys at the closing ceremony. One supporting member didn't attend but entered all the "in advance" competitions and was still ahead in the points table on Saturday evening with 26 Megapoints! And Rich managed to finished on 42 Megapoints.
