Don't care what anybody else has to say, but the South AfriFur Con was a blast! Cool folks, nice venue & awesome memories. Was it perfect? Hell no! But it didn't matter.

Thanks so much to all the organisers. You guys are legends! <3

We are busy gathering statistics, counting money, getting photos and so on. I will let Ivic post the final stats once everything is done.

28 Attendees paid, though not everyone stayed the whole time.

Furthest attendee was the GoH, Bravura from Switzerland.

All official artwork (badges, shirt designs, logo) done by Electrocat. Many thanks to her.

Our chosen charity is the Wolf Sanctuary in Knysna. We considered several, but the recent fires in Knysna is what finally tipped our hand. We don't think a lot of the disaster relief money will make it to the animal charities, and this is our way of contributing. To fund this, we ran a raffle, and we will match the funds raised by the raffle from the con's side.

Sudan Red has announced that she will be donating all funds she raised via commissions to animal charities of her own choosing. I think this is a very selfless act, as she spent a LOT of time at the con making the most beautiful sketches for attendees. I am happy to have snagged a few of her slots.

Forum question: Is this a furry K-Pop band, or is it a lip-sync of Cherry Bomb?

I was so tired I managed to press Submit with half the post above unfinished. I have updated the post a little, instead of splitting the changes off.

I have spent the majority of the day just vegging in bed XD we'll have the stats and pics etc. up hopefully near to tomorrow. I'll hopefully be better rested by then.

But thanks again to everyone attending and let's hope this grows from here!

Yes indeed we had an amazing time, I kept thinking to myself regardless of the formalities we had taken to ensure the con structure it was incredible just to have everyone there and spend the weekend with people we don't get to see due to distance and generally just life. Everyone was amazing and I really made a lot of friends this weekend, I would do this again in a heart beat.

Thanks to everyone that were there, you really made it worthwhile!
I will be posting a dropbox link to the photos I have taken and there will be a few YouTube videos coming soon!
