Malta. It really is an excellent and enjoyable
winter break in a superb hotel at very
reasonable prices. The Minicon gets to the
core of what the CCGB is all about really...
a social club for cartoonists.
I am pleased to report
that bookings for the 2015
version of our top-notch
fun-filled cartoonists’ caper
in foreign climes are going
really well!
It’s looking like the 2015 Minicon is going to
be our biggest ever, with several first time
miniconners (including some new members)
swelling the ranks of the hardened veterans
of our Malta campaign.
It’s going to be another family friendly
Minicon by the looks of things, with
numerous offspring being brought along. It’s
always great to have the kids with us, they
do seem to get a lot out of it and really
enjoy the cartooning events. They often
wind up beating us pros in the competitions
too. That’ll have to stop...we’ll have to up
our game this time around!
To book your place just email me, Rich
Skipworth, on [email protected]
and I’ll handle the rest.
The hotel we’re staying at, the Pergola,
will be undergoing refurbishment and
redecoration up until the time we arrive,
but if you would like to arrive earlier than
the 14th, that’s not a problem as you can be
temporarily accommodated in the Pergola’s
sister hotel the Solana then relocated to
the Pergola on the 14th. The Solana is only
about 100 yards away, and has the same
high standards as the Pergola. If you’d like
to extend your stay beyond the 21st, that
should be no problem either, just let me
know. Flights can sometimes work out
cheaper by extending your stay.
There are still places left though, so please
don’t get the idea that we’re full!
The programme of Minicon events is being
worked on and I will email everyone with
details of that in good time. There will be
cartooning, there will be excellent meals
out, there will be a cartoon-based visit to
Malta’s largest vineyard, and more. It’ll be
good, just like in previous years.
We’d love to see any of our members in
Actually it’ll probably be better!
