The Board of Directors of Warpstock Corporation is now accepting bids from groups or individuals wishing to host Warpstock 2008.

Groups or individuals considering hosting Warpstock 2008 should submit a letter of their intent to host this event by e-mail to: bids | warpstock.org.

Information about the bid process and the requirements for hosting a Warpstock event will be found on the Warpstock web site at http://www.warpstock.org/staticpages/index.php?page=bidproc and http://www.warpstock.org/staticpages/index.php?page=BSO.

This letter of intent should contain a list of the individuals involved, the city or area in which the event would be held, and the suggested time of year for the event. The letter of intent may contain any additional information about the proposed bid that the team wishes to share. It should also include the benefits of holding the event in their suggested location.

Sunday, November 18, 2007 -- Warpstock 2007 has wrapped up this eleventh annual event at the Valhalla Inn Toronto.

To all those who attended, we hope that this year's edition has met your needs and expectations.

To those who didn't make it, you were missed and we hope to see you next year at the twelfth Warpstock at a location to be announced at a later date.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to all those who have made Warpstock 2007 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada successful. This appreciation extends

• to the Event Team lead by Jim O'Connor,
• to the presenters,
• to the exhibitors,
• to those who donated items for the draw,
• to those who helped with sponsorships, and
• most of all, to the attendees.

It requires the dedicated efforts of many volunteers to put on an event such as Warpstock and make it a success. How do we measure success? We measure success from the comments and support of those who attended. The fact that we have provided an interesting and informative event for our attendees is our primary goal.

We hope that all who attended have a safe journey home and look forward to getting together again at the next Warpstock to meet old friend and make new ones.

John W. Edwards. President, Warpstock Corporation

As previously announced, we had to finalize the number of tickets for Social Outing at Stage West Dinner Theatre - Friday November 16th. This has been done but it may still be possible to get additional tickets for that evening. This is not guaranteed but we will try. Please contact registrations@warpstock.org by e-mail to make your request known. This should be done as soon as possible.

We look forward to seeing you at the Valhalla Inn in Toronto between November 15th and 18th, 2007 for Warpstock 2007.

Have you booked your hotel room yet? Warpstock has a new deadline of October 21, 2007 to reserve hotel room in the guaranteed room block.

*** NOTE: The hotel has granted us an extension to the cutoff date for our guaranteed room block until October 21, 2007 ***

Once we reach the cutoff date, any unreserved rooms from our current reserved block will be released for general sale by the Valhalla Inn.

I would suggest booking at Valhalla Inn either by using the toll free phone number 1-800-268-2500 or by booking via e-mail at reservations@valhalla-inn.com as the online booking seems to have problems.
