A white square background with art nouveau border and text reading "A Little Reminder... #BeMoreTerry"

A gentle reminder to contact the Convention at info@dwcon.org politely with any issues and queries. Please don't contact Committee on their personal pages regarding Convention business or through SM comments, and know that we operate a zero tolerance policy of abuse towards us.

Best of luck!

Oh no! There’s always the waiting list. I am reliably informed that most people who join tend to get a membership offer at some point.
