As part of the Holylands Arts Festival in Belfast from the 2nd to the 9th of October, there will be a Sci-Fi Extravaganza night in the Menagerie, University Street, on Tuesday 4th October at 7.30 PM.
Although there is a full programme of events on the site, this, their only SF event, doesn’t get any further details beyond the listing, where it is clearly marked with a X to let people know it’s not for the norms! My information leads me to believe that this will be a Doctor Who night, though, run by Michael Perkins, chairman of Mecon 9, coming up next August. Michael is one of the most energetic of the SF fandom folk in Northern Ireland, so it promises to be a good night.

This is a Doctor Who convention, being held in Bangor in Northern
Ireland, and is the second one there, the previous one being in 1998.
Guests include sixth Doctor Colin Baker, along with one of his
companions, Nicola Bryant, who played Peri. The adult membership fee
is STG£20, and the site also says, rather intriguingly, "Children
under 16yrs will cost £14.00." There’s an upper limit of 150 members,
too.
Originally this was to be held on the previous weekend, but this
would have clashed with Worldcon in Scotland, so was moved. Hopefully
we’ll see more Doctor Who conventions springing up all over Ireland,
with the success of the new series. Wasn’t the Dalek episode on
Saturday fantastic? I wish them well with the event, although we
won’t be able to make it. Maybe next time…
What: Banopticon 2005
Where: Marine Court Hotel, Bangor, Co Down, Northern Ireland
When: August 14th 2005
Who: Colin Baker (6th Doctor) & Nicola Bryant (Peri)
How Much: STG£20
