INFINITY is being organised by SF Fantasy Cardiff, the city's leading
science fiction, fantasy and telefantasy society. We are official
local groups of both the DWAS (the Doctor Who Appreciation Society)
and ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha (the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy
Appreciation Society). 

This two day convention is run by fans for fans and it will comprise
of discussion panels, video rooms, dealers rooms and all the other
popular events found at conventions. If you have any suggestions for
an event or a guest you would like to see attend please contact us and
we will try our best. 

The convention venue is The Angel Hotel, it is situated in the city
centre, just five minutes from Cardiff Central Train Station and it
over looks Cardiff Castle.  It is a four star hotel with excellent
facilities and it is one of Cardiff's most sought after convention
venues. The hotel is offering special rates for convention attendees.

The Guests

Anthony Daniels - Is primarily known for his stage work, but is best
known as both the voice and the man inside C-3PO.  The golden android
in the Star Wars trilogy of films. He also voiced C-3PO in the radio
series of the first two films and in the animated spin off Droids.

Colin Baker - From a small role as a one off villain in Blake's 7,
Colin has become one of the most significant names in British science
fiction television after playing Doctor Who both on  television and on
stage.  He has subsequently become involved in the ever growing world
of semi - professional video productions by starring in the Stranger
series.

Ed Bishop - Was the voice behind Captain Blue in the Gerry Anderson
puppet series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, and the puppet was
based on Ed's face.  He also had the lead role in another of Gerry
Anderson's television productions, UFO, in which he played Commander
Straker

Dr Jack Cohen - Is a Professor of Reproductive Biology at the 
University of Warwick, but everybody from Harry Harrison to 
Anne McCaffery, from Larry Niven to Terry Pratchett has sought
Jack Cohen's advice on the validity (or otherwise!) of their
creations.

David Banks - Played the leader of the Cybermen in Doctor Who 
from 1982 until 1988. He further cemented his association with the
Cybermen by writing the book Cybermen. He is also the author of the
Doctor Who New Adventures novel Iceberg.

M J "Simo" Simpson - Simo? Who's he?  Founding editor of Tales from
the Broken Drum, former editor of Mostly Harmless, co-organiser of the
legendary Inconsequential conventions, lifelong SF fan, active in
fandom since 1984, and now a News Editor for SFX magazine.

All profits from the convention are to be donated to local charities
