Doctor Who Convention in Vancouver – A Follow-Up

Do you recall our May 26th post about the possibility of a Doctor Who convention in Vancouver? 

Well, you didn’t imagine it.  Yup, it’s true. 

A group of people who were responsible for organizing several local Vancouver Doctor Who events (e.g. Who Party West, Who Party West III, TMOVsocials, and other events) are currently in discussions about the possibility of holding a Doctor Who convention here in Vancouver.  Nothing has been planned for definite yet, but talks continue.  In fact, in the next month or two, there are plans to hold an organization meeting for interested parties to attend and discuss this possible event. 

So if you’d like to see a Doctor Who convention held in Vancouver, stay tuned to this blog for news on when the first organizational meeting will be held.

Vancouver Doctor Who Convention?

Hi all. We have a question for you, and before you answer yes or no, here’s a little background info.

It’s been years – well, the last Doctor Who event with a guest in the Vancouver area was A Day With Anneke Wills in the mid 1990s and before that Who Party West 3 in 1990 with Nicola Bryant, so its been at least 15-20 years since any kind of event was held locally. Anyway…

This question probably applies more to Canadian Doctor Who fans, and nearby American Who fans, but how many people would in theory be interested in attending a Doctor Who convention in Vancouver BC Canada? I know it would depend on the size, the guest(s) (if any), price and dates of the event, but if a Doctor Who convention was held in Vancouver, would you be interested in attending? Would anyone be interested in helping organize such an event? Would you attend a smaller event without a guest, or would you prefer it to be a larger event with a guest?

Nothing has been planned definitely yet, no dates set, nothing concrete and carved in stone. We’re just put the ‘feelers’ out to gage interest in the possibility of an event. Your thoughts on this is appreciated.  Drop us a line in care of the Whotopia editorial address whotopia[@]whotopia.ca and let us know what you think.

I was going through some old photographs earlier today and found the following pictures in a folder on my computer.  I’d completely forgotten about these and thought readers of this blog might find them interesting.  These are from a promotional event we did in 2008 at that years local book festival Word On The Street.
