slycatTo all those who are arguing about what event will be the first UK Furry Convention, you might want to have a look at this article. Specifically starting with this entry:
July 1994: The first annual UK Fur CON is held 9-11 July, organized through FurryMUCK by Adam Moss as an informal house party at his home in Colchester, Essex. About fifteen fans attend, including one each from Germany and the U.S. Furry Housecon 4 is the same weekend (8-10 July), and accusations of "trying to hijack our con" against the Housecon are later put down to an innocent lack of communication between Britain's FurryMUCK and non-Internet furryfans. The two series of house parties are mutually coordinated today.
Makes for quite an interesting read. Furry drama existed even back then :P I suppose technically these events could be regarded as furmeets rather than cons... but still :)
