Our annual spring-time get together is only a few days away!
From the 4th to 7th May Discworld fans shall gather in our home town of Wincanton, Somerset for some like-minded company and charitable nonsense. In a tribute to this year's Roundworld events, we'll curtsey to the Queen's Jubilee and squat-thrust to the Olympics with a Right Royal Cori Celesti theme, so don your togas and polish your sceptres and let the Cori Celesti Games begin!
