Corflu Pangloss – Vancouver – October 21-23, 2022
We live in parlous times. There is great confusion under heaven, and the conditions are excellent. Which is to say, thanks to border closures, travel restrictions, economic wobbles, and ongoing pandemic uncertainty, much of what we can tell you about Corflu 39 is aspirational, provisional, or pending better data with the unfolding of future events. But we step out in hope, and choose to be optimistic that all our Corflu wishes will come true. Thus, Corflu Pangloss. The hotel is the Best Western Plus Sands, 1755 Davie Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6G 1W5, Canada.

Archived Notes
Special Announcement: 20 January 2022
Corflu Pangloss Postponed The Corflu Pangloss committee have concluded that current circumstances make our original March dates unfeasible. The Omicron variant of Covid-19 has made travel much more uncertain (the US Centers for Disease Control currently warns US residents against traveling to Canada). We hope that moving the convention later in the year will reduce or eliminate the uncertainties and perhaps more fans can attend. Also, several critical committee members have new medical issues that make it difficult for them to work on the convention in the coming crucial weeks, and could prevent them from working onsite or even attending. We hope that with a delay we will be able to see them attend and participate as planned. We therefore announce NEW dates for Pangloss: The Sands Hotel has moved our function space and hospitality suite reservations to October. We hoped for an earlier weekend, possibly in September, but the sleeping rooms would have been more expensive, and the function space was not available earlier due to the hotel’s cruise business commitments. With the move to October we were able to retain our original hotel rates. Hotel Room Rates: Stay the Same! If you currently have a hotel reservation for our March dates, your reservation will NOT be cancelled automatically. You may either cancel only or cancel and rebook your room(s) for our new October dates by emailing [email protected]. Please include your name, reservation start date, and confirmation number in the email. If you elect to cancel now, you may, of course, book rooms for October any time up until the convention. Note: Should you still want to visit Vancouver during our original March dates, the Sands will be glad to honor your reservation at the same convention rate. Let them know if you intend to do this. What’s Not Changing The deadline for Fanzine Activity Achievement Awards voting remains the same (February 25) and the awards will be announced via Zoom on Sunday, March 20, as they would have been on our original schedule. The Zoom will also include a presentation for the 2023 Corflu bid. Membership rates also will remain the same for the foreseeable future. |
