Welcome
This is the website for the annual Leaping Hare convention, which is held every spring in Colchester, Essex, Britain. We will update this site with information about each forthcoming convention, as well as featuring reviews of previous years.
The 2009 convention has been and gone ~ and a great day it was. The organisers would like to express our thanks to all the contributors (see below): to the hysterically funny (and Armani-ed up) Kristoffer Hughes; to the ever helpful, flexible and mead-laden Tina Smith; to highly literate Nick Ford and his entrancing Latin invocations; and to the delightful Christina Kiernan, who came in spite of a serious health concern. Our thanks too for the Magic Mummers, to the Clan storytellers (especially Gerry and Greg, who stepped in to help out literally at a half-hour's notice) and to our workshop providers, especially Jo and John Goodluck who were able to whip it out at the last minute!
The date for the 2010 convention has been set for Saturday 27th March. If you would like to book a stall, or offer your services to speak/run a workshop/entertain, then please email me robinherne@hotmail.com
