Corsham Sci Fi Family Fun Day

After the last few years of Automattic Comics running many successful events in the town we have outgrown the space in town and have joined forces with charity daleks and now run a bigger more family orientated event in the town.
          
On Saturday 17th of April 2010 The Charity Daleks will hold the second Corsham Family Sci-Fi Day. The event gathers hundreds of Sci—Fi fans together from across the UK to exhibit their creations and raise funds for local and national charities. This event follows the success of last year’s initial event in rising over £400.00 for the local PHAB club.

This year’s event will once again be held in the Corsham Community Centre and is planned to be bigger and better than last year.

There will also be competitions, quizzes, costume parades and interactive stories taking place throughout the day. Various raffles, auctions and guest speaker sessions will also help raise funds for charity.
 
Other guests are awaiting conformation.
