Dear all,
Following the highly successful UK Jack the Ripper Conference in Liverpool 2003, we are very pleased to announce preliminary details for the next UK Jack the Ripper Conference in 2005. The date is 7-9 October 2005 and the venue will be the historical seaside town of Brighton in East Sussex. You will shortly receive information about how to register.
A dedicated website will be set up for this Conference and you will be able to register for updates and bookings then.
Further information will be published in the March issue of Ripperologist (subscribe now at www.ripperologist.info!).
In the meantime please remember these dates!
Regards,
Your Conference Organisers

Hi
Don't take this the wrong way, but being relativly new to conference/ subscribing to ripperologist i was wondering how all this works. For example, is it run by ripperologist, who decides who talks how does it all work etc
cheers

Hi Jennifer
If you want to subscribe to the Ripperologist you need to contact Coral Kelly, it is published 6 times a year
The Cloak & Dagger Club meets at the City Darts in The East End of London on the first Saturday of Feb, April, June, August, October and December (the Christmas do) also there are interim meetings on the months in-between. If you want to come to a meeting just turn up at the pub late afternoon and you'll be made very welcome. We always have interesting speakers followed by a good social evening.
The Conference is being organised by Claudia Aliffe, the last one in Liverpool was fantastic and not to be missed.
Hope this helps a bit
If you need any more information, please mail me at:
liza@lhopkinson.freeserve.co.uk
Cheers

Hi Jennifer
Claudia and myself will be organising the Conference as a separate entity from Ripperologist. However, we will be working closely with Ripperologist as its Editor, Paul Begg, will be liaising with speakers for the event, and as I'm responsible for production of the magazine we'll be placing exclusive news in its pages, as well as on the official Conference website which we're hoping to have online within the week.
I'll post here when the site is up and running; you'll be able to register either online at the site or via a form in the March Ripperologist.
If you can't wait 18 months for Brighton, register for Baltimore now!

All are invited, the conference has people coming from America, Australia, even Africa. But places are filling up fast, so if you want to go you will need to get your deposit in soon. Email Claudia Aliffe at contact@ripperconference.com to find out the best way to book.

I have never thought of attending a JtR conference before, but having sampled Casebook in recent weeks, I might well do so in 05.
it would be nice to put faces to screen-names.

A lot of our faces can be seen by clicking the links on our names in the left hand column.
Of course meeting everyone in person sounds like a good idea too.

May I suggest to the persons in charge of the upcoming Brighton Conference,that they either film it or at least have the speeches transcribed for purchase ?. It would be to everyone's benefit to read what the speakers had to say this October.
Same goes for Baltimore. Cassettes or an available copy of the speakers text would be a profitable [ not only $$$$, but for educational purposes ] endeavor.

"Finger my arse!"
Is it really appropriate to put such things when a vulnerable Howard is reading this thread?
And if you are wearing a bunny costume I am wearing my infamous cabbage costume.
I'm sure there's some people on the periphery who will be wearing a bunny-boiler costume.

Hmmm..Evening All,
I'm sorry I didn't delay my visit to Brighton till
October.
It looks like the Conference will be crowded with eccentric personalities.
One minute there was an attempt at PROPER TONE on this thread, next minute the "A---" word appeared, and suddenly evening dress and the proper knives and forks went out the window.
By the looks of it, Howard, an audio tape of this lot would probably sound like a Pete and Dud effort.
I'll be interested to see who will be speaking at this Brighton Conference, Claudia.
And I agree with you Howard: have past speakers ensured their best efforts were enshrined on Casebook or in one of the illustrious JTR journals?
I suppose the next UK Conference will be at' "A"Words' Heath! |

Hi John,
I think the innocuous mention of the "A " word by Philip acted like a champagne cork to an already over excited Caz already putting the finishing touches to her "Bunny Suit"-tail and all-and not giving two hoots as to whether Howard is about to be visited by the men in White Coats as a result!
As for myself I am just hoping
AP will arrive with a spare "wolf Suit" which I can don on and become invisible while not missing any of the fun and games![and having observed that crowd from the Whitechapel Historical[?] Society--- Oh Boy! There will be some "Fun and Games" ---thats for certain!!!
...and John-if you too are partial to lots of such hanky panky- it is indeed a pity you took your trip so early-you may have missed out on the trip of a lifetime!
Still its never too late to jump on board - and sign yourself up for some smoke and stagger!
Natalie
Jenny-thats a damn good idea a sack!Maybe some long johns too!

Hi Robert,
Caz, don't wear the bunny costume - you'll have nowhere to hide the sausage rolls I want you to send me.
Don't you believe it. I'll try to squeeze in a couple of Eccles cakes too... they are the currant favourite apparently.
Hi Nats,
It's just that Philip's use of the a word, in conjunction with your fears about posh nosh etc instantly conjured up the spectre of Ricky Tomlinson and that immortal line of his. That plus the fact I was posting late on Saturday night when I was a bit tiddly.
Bottoms up!
Love,
Caz

Hi Caz,
Ricky Tomlinson is spot on with it too[as was Philip!].
Us Northerners believe it really underlines the point far better than the more polite "Come off it".
BTW Caz,you mustn"t be quite such a tease as this for pity"s sake[I will,no I won"t]...think of poor Howard and his manic flights of fancy
and the deleterious effects it all has on his blood pressure!.......come to think of it he has gone ever so quiet the last couple of days----you OK there Howie?..............Hey there!

You try typing and swimming out here at latitude 88,longitude 55 and about only 1800 miles from shore.
These sharks are also interested in my blood pressure [ thank you very much ! ]....but there's no pressure involved,as its just the blood that they really want.
Tease on toots...it gives me more reason to reach the beach at Brighton.

Now Suzi,tut,tut-please no fish wife"s outfit for Caz, indeed!Caz has worked her pretty little fingers to the bone making her Bunny Suit!
However if you are going to be wearing your fish wife attire it may yet come in handy coz Suzi,someone is going to have to set about all them there "Howard clones" ,lined up outside and getting very bedraggled with sea spray just hoping for a gander at Caz in this "ere Bunny Suit!
So ...hmmm ... fish wife "fancy dress" may provide just the excuse to give them all a damn good thrashing with a few manky and oversized wet fish......what a good idea ...think I"ll abandon my wolf suit and join you!
