The IBM British Ring Convention 2013
IBM British Ring No.25
77th Annual Convention
4th - 8th September, Buxton
The IBM British Ring convention organisers now
have quite a list of artistes, lecturers and events planned for the 2013 get
together being held in Buxton from 4th – 8th September. The Opera house and the
adjacent Pavilion Gardens will cater for most of the events so let’s look at
what is on offer. From the USA comes Skilldini, David Kaplan and Tim Wright,
from Spain Eduardo Galeano and also many well known UK performers.
The Jeffery Atkins Memorial Lecture will be presented by Fergus Roy on the
Davenport Story whilst Steve Short interviews Ian Adair on his life in magic
which I am sure will have plenty about the Supreme Magic Company in it. A
tribute to the late Alan Shaxon will also be part of the convention programme.
The gala show will be compered by Vincent Hays MBE, well known to many of you
for his many appearances at Brick Lane Music Hall in London.
Ricky McLeod will present the children’s lecture, and ‘Sooty’s Magic Show’ with
Richard Cadell will be the children’s show on the Saturday morning. Guest
entertainers on this show will be announced soon.
There is to be a Gala of Youth with Ed Hilsum and Megan Knowles-Bacon being
already scheduled to appear at the time I write this.
The ladies trip (whole day) to Chatsworth House is now nearly fully booked and
promises to be a great day out.
Dealers booked so far include Practical Magic, Made to Measure Magic, Astra
Magic, Peter Diamond, Master of Mystery - Adrian Sullivan, Qualatex Balloons -
Graham Lee.
I’ll keep you updated with more news as I receive it. Remember the members’
convention rate is £125 up until the end of June then it goes up to £140. A very
good reason to book now! Details are on
