Eastercon 2024 Levitation – Telford International Centre Shropshire  29th March to 1st April 2024

International Centre, Telford, Convention venue. Taken by me.

Links to the pages of event reviews stretched over the week.

Though the Eastercon Science Fiction convention began on Good Friday I travelled into Shropshire two days before, on Wednesday 27th March to have time for exploring the area with my camera, and came home the morning after the convention (2nd April). There was actually some pre-convention book reading activity on the eve of the Con too.  If you just want to read the con reports, you can skip the Wednesday, and Thursday links and get right on to the con day activities. Reviews of individual venues and bars visited on the expedition are included too. Any suggested changes or corrections welcome.

11/. Beer Reviews (Note, this page covers ales enjoyed throughout March 2024 but all beers enjoyed in Telford, Ironbridge and Shrewsbury were consumed during the con week.  No beers for the Monday as I only list beers not consumed by me before. https://arthurchappell.wordpress.com/2024/04/05/30-beers-enjoyed-in-march-2024/
