To the rather unique audience of science-fiction fans, Worlds Apart has become something of an internet phenomenon. Originally made nearly ten years ago by a group of sci-fi fans on a threadbare budget, this "homemade" series has recently received a new lease of life on numerous video websites and through subsequent distribution from fan to fan via DVD. Although plagued by poor sets, effects, costumes, dialogue and acting, this video series has captured the hearts of a small but loyal band of supporters, despite the final episode never actually being filmed. Now, for the first time, a fan convention has been organised. Many of the original main cast will be present, with the notable exception of the late lead actor. Some claim that the death is an example of the "curse" that has dogged the show but others claim that it is part of a deeper conspiracy; the rest just believe it was bad luck. Whatever the truth, the show's fortunes have certainly changed for the better. But will the reunion be everything the fans have waited for and will they find out how the series would have ended? How many more will succumb to the curse over this weekend...

The menu for this event has not been decided on yet. It will be decided at least 4 weeks before the event, so check back here nearer the time.

NOTE: The menu will be a single set menu with a vegetarian option, although other dietary requirements can be catered for.
