Thank you for a wonderful convention! |
Well, it's all over now! Thank you so much for joining us at Nullus Anxietas 9 - The Australian Discworld Convention.
We hope you had a great time - we certainly did!
We'd like to thank our guests, all our attendees, our hard-working committee, and, of course, Sir Terry Pratchett.
If you have any feedback - what was good, what was bad, what was ugly - then please email us on contact@ausdwcon.org so we can make sure that the convention is even better next time around!
Speaking of...
Step through the portal to the fantasy realm of Sydney and the year 2026 for the tenth Australian Discworld Convention:
Nullus Anxietas X - A celebration of the Witches.
Each have their own story and like all good stories... there's a twist!
Want to be involved but not sure how? Become a witch in training. Learn to be as nosey as Nanny, as confident as Perdita X and to just do the job in front of you, just like Tiffany.
Visit our website shop to purchase a supporting membership and we hope to see you at the X-citing, X-ceptional and what promises to be an X-traordinary con like no other.
More information about the 2026 convention will be revealed in this newsletter in the future - so stay subscribed!
