Yes we know we said last time it was the final Broomsticks and Cauldrons... Nullus Anxietas X may have exited the Realm of Sydney, but our newsletter Broomsticks and Cauldrons still has some work to do. In this edition, you will find:
We had a great time, thank you for being there with us. It's time for a little rest.
But first... we would like to hear about your experience at Nullus Anxietas X - the good and the bad - to help the next convention be even better.
The survey can be found here. Please fill it out to let us know what you thought!
And if you have photos to share, please post them in our Facebook group or include the hashtag #ausdwcon.
Thank you.

As mentioned in the previous Broomsticks and Cauldrons, it's full steam ahead to Nullus Anxietas 11 in Melbourne in 2028.2
Themed around the Discworld's industrial revolution the Clacks, Steam Engines and all other innovations coming to a newly modernised Discworld in the Century of the Anchovy. So drag out your steam goggles, leather gloves and apron, and seek out Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook3 for directions.
The Librarian is looking forward to seeing you all in Melbourne in 2028.
You can purchase a supporting membership for 2028 right now on our website.
At conventions like Nullus Anxietas X, you mostly need to catch sessions in person in order to enjoy them. But there's always multiple things on at once, so that's not always possible!
Fortunately we were able to capture a few things on video - including the Opening Ceremony, the Maskerade Costume, Talent and Prop Competition, and many interviews with our guests via the realm of Zoom.
These will be going up on our Youtube channel over the following weeks. Right now, the Opening Ceremony and Maskerade videos are up!
So if you missed out on these sessions, or if you couldn't make it to the convention at all, or you just want to relive the magic(k), then head on over to our Youtube channel and subscribe!
With a huge thank you to Bigjob guest Karen J Carlisle for recording some of our live sessions.
We couldn't have done it without the generous support of our sponsors:

There are regular events every month happening for the fan clubs in Victoria, South Australia, and New South Wales.
Check out the Fan Club pages for more information and links to Facebook groups, Discord servers and more.
If there's not much happening in your region of the country, why not join the relevant group and volunteer to run a casual social get together? It's the best way to get a fan club up and running.
Wait... Have you just discovered there's such a thing as a Discworld Convention? And it's in Australia? Want to know Wot's Wot? Go to the Newcomer's ABC for everything you didn't know you wanted to know, including a special playlist of special videos for you, special newcomers, made specially.
The website will stay as is for a little while longer until the wizards can feed the ants and set HEX into Melbourne mode, but meanwhile, the general information still applies.
Well, it's been fun.
This is Miss Perspicacia Tick signing off...
Wotcha!
More information about the next convention - Nullus Anxietas 11 - will be sent out (via this very newsletter) in the future, but for now, if you'd like to secure yourself a seat on the train, buy your supporting membership now.
