Hey, just wondering, are there actually that many English/British furs around? So far I have met 2, over the 3 years or so I've been a fan :(

Also, does anyone know of any Furry Conventions in England/Britain? Like most minority fandoms they seem to be mainly America-centric DX

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out ^^

ukfur.net a friend of mine went to the "meets" until they started hauling in the scary furs.

Yep, there's a bunch of us around, myself included. As far as I know, they're separated into a few main groups: LondonFurs (London-ish area), NorthernFurs (north of England), MidFurs (between the two aforementioned turfs, I guess), plus some scary, crazy people further up north (NotZ, etc.), which groups I know little about, because they lie beyond the uninhabitable radioactive wastes, and I dare not venture that far.

But a lot of UK furs are scary, scary people. o.o

Oh yeah, and I believe some people are trying to organize a UK convention for around 2008 or so (could be 2009, I forget), but I don't know any more than that.

By "scary scary people" do you mean scary as in dangerous scary or just scary as in weird o.o

Some are just weird, as in they act strange and have sex with your neighborhood's stray dog, while others may want to eat you, or use you as a breeding vessel to stabalize their deteriorating gene pool from inbreeding.
An example of a "scary scary fur" that I know of, would be a particular hermaphroditic fox who in real life is a 300+ lbs 23 year old college student who dresses himself up in baby clothes, fox ears/tail and glitter, while playing with his soiled diaper on video... Silence of the Lambs has NOTHING on that...

From what I've seen in my several years of the UK fandom, nobody I've encountered yet has been dangerous-scary. For the most part, the scary ones are just really, really weird. :)

>>8 Now THAT is a scary fur o.o 

>>10 I was talking geographicaly rather than bloodline, so it depends ._.

D: Typical England though, we don't have the numbers that other places do, but the ones we do have are among the weirdest.

Well, i dont know about any others, but there are Londfur meets every three weeks and a Boat Party that has recently passed ^_^

I dunno most of those Ive met at Londonfur meets have seemed ok and not weird enough to bother me in the least.

I'm from the UK, and I don't know any others either. Then again, it's not like I'd ever find out either. It's not the sort of thing that comes up in every day conversation...

I'm British too, you're best checking out the #uk and #northukfurs channels on FurNet if you're hunting down fellow UK furs. There's also been a main UK con in development since 2003-so, but it's never kicked off truely due to a lack of interest.

And don't forget Pounced! That place is great! But yeh, UkFurs is pretty much your best bet.
