One of the benefits of a convention like VCON is that it gives members and interested others the opportunity to find a variety of fannish goods collected together in one place. With this in mind, we run a Vendor Exhibition Hall — sort of a "Fan Shopping Mall" if you will — for the duration of the con. There are two sections in the VCON Vendor Exhibition Hall: a Dealers Room, where fans can find science fiction and fantasy related merchandise of all kinds; and an Artists Alley, where artists and craftspersons of all breeds set up shop to showcase their work.
One particularly nice thing about the VCON Vendors Hall is that it is open to the public! That's right - you don't even have to be an attending member of VCON to come check out all the geeky goodness that is for sale.
The following sections provide details about al the vendors who have registered to peddle their wares at this year's convention and where within the Vendor Exhibition Hall they'll be doing it.

Informed by Great British comedy institutions such as "Monty Python's Flying Circus",
"Dad's Army" and "Are You Being Served?" this sitcom follows the ups and downs of
family life with the Worthingtons – a typical family with a mum, dad, two kids and
a grandfather. Typical, that is, for a society ravaged by war and zombies for the
past 4 years. Oh, and the dad is a zombie. With the ever-vigilant Z-Force to watch
over them what could possibly go wrong? Each episode in the 6-part series is a paean
to a simpler time. One filled with good neighbours, a Bobby on every corner and
the laughter of children. Of good clean fun with a double order of entendre. The
way nature intended. Visit our table and a warm welcome is assured! Artist Table: 106 |
