When shall we two... hundred... meet?

Nullus Anxietas X - The Australian Discworld Convention - Celebrating the Witches - Sydney 2026 (surrounded by two Witches' brooms)

When shall we two... hundred... meet?

X-citement is building
X-pectations are high
Waiting, waiting,
The X-posé1 is nigh.

The witches are on their way, but when will they arrive? And where?

Thank you for being patient, HEX is busy right now and will be with you shortly...

The Wizards are trying their best to help - they've pulled the big lever2 - but all they can tell us is:

The ants are working their little legs off, and the venue and date announcement is coming soon. Meanwhile, buy a supporting membership - the perfect gift for Hogswatch - at the website shop.

We promise it's not Boffo. But this is!

Be safe; be kind to each other.

IT'S EDUCATIONAL.

THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.
