FANTASYCON 2011 RAFFLE
For everyone who enjoys a bit of fun and the chance to pick up a bargain, THE FABULOUS FANTASYCON RAFFLE will be held at 10:30 p.m. until around Midnight on the Friday evening of FantasyCon 2011.
Once again hosted by the sartorial-sharp team of SARAH PINBOROUGH and GUY ADAMS ("The Ant and Dec of Free Stuff"), there will hopefully be many swish prizes up for grabs -- ranging from signed books, limited editions, proof copies, artwork, prints and many rare treasures yet to be imagined!
However, WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please help us by donating a prize (or, even better, prizes) to support the Raffle. All donations -- and we really do mean "all"! -- are very welcome, and the presenters will do their best to name-check as many people and publishers who have donated prizes as they can in the time available.
Please e-mail us on if have something to donate.
