Dimension Jump 2003
The Fan Club's latest Red Dwarf Weekend is all set for April '03.
6 September, 2002
The success of last year's convention has put the pressure on The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club. Fans were calling it the best ever - how can it possibly be topped? One way to recapture the magic is to return to the same location, so with that in mind 2003's Red Dwarf Weekend will once again be taking place at the Royal Court Hotel, Coventry.
Guests are currently unconfirmed, but the whole of Red Dwarf's main cast have, at one time or another, made appearances. Previous weekends have also featured guest stars such as Mac McDonald, Graham McTavish and Lee Cornes. From behind the scenes, Ed Bye, Bill Pearson, Peter Wragg, Rob Grant and Doug Naylor have all shown up. Oh, and ever since reddwarf.co.uk launched at DJ2K Mr Flibble has done his best to shove his beak in.
Not that the guests are the only high-point of the weekend. In previous years, fans have competed for prizes at the Red Dwarf Olympics and Who Wants To Be The Weakest Link? The drink-and-dance fest that is the Saturday night disco includes the traditional costume competition, plus there are often exclusives - Dimension Jump was the first place to see remastered effects footage and Red Dwarf USA. All this as well as the chance to bid in the auction for exclusive memorabilia. You'd be a smeghead to miss it!
You can find Dimension Jump registration forms for print-off in the Officers' Club, or on the Fan Club's own site, available via our Links section.
