Follycon was notable for a number of things. It was the first Eastercon in the Adelphi, which had previously only hosted Trek cons.

Not as good as Contrivance, the previous Jersey Eastercon. Suffered from a few problems related to the '95 Worldcon bid, especially trying to shift committee members into areas in which they had no experience.

I was on the committee of this one, so I'll be brief and say that it was a generally enjoyable, small Eastercon. We couldn't have done this except in a Worldcon year.

Guests: Vernor Vinge, Bryan Talbot

Hotel: Jarvis Piccadilly & Britannia Hotel (split site), Manchester

As expected, the split site caused a number of organisational problems. On the whole, though, a good convention.

Guests: Peter Beagle, Jeff Noon, John Clute (also Tom Holt, Ron Tiner and Vijay Bowen)

Hotel: Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool

Can't say much about this because I was chairman. However, from the committee point of view it went very well.

Guests: Katherine Kurtz, Guy Gavriel Kay, Deborah Turner Harris (also John Salthouse)

Hotel: Central Hotel, Glasgow

Undoubtedly the worst Eastercon for many years. Almost completely lacking in programme, a masquerade ruined by committee technophilia and generally dire. A object lesson in what happens when a committee is so egotistical that it almost fails to put on a convention at all.

An excellent convention at a rather out of the way site. A great relief after the awful disaster that was 2Kon.
