This year, none of that is done.</p> <p>With all the uncertainty, sponsors were interested, but reluctant to commit, we were also reluctant to accept any money, because if we spent it and then had to cancel we would have to replace it somehow.</p> <p>Our venues were also not sure what was going on and if they would be open or not. Hallam has to commit to it’s students first and so even if they were allowed to open they may not have been able to accept us. Imagine having everything in place then not having anywhere to put everyone.</p> <p>Other cons have moved online and have done a very good job in doing it. We could have followed, but as we’ve said before, we are an in-person event and while we could do something big and flashy online, it isn’t our style.</p> <p>So, at this present time, the event is not happening, but we may review this closer to July, and if we think we can put something small on we will see what we can do. If something is going to happen, we will make a big noise about it, you won’t miss it. No promises though.</p> <p>The Management.</p> <p>PS, for any of you who normally attend the after con Quasar, I randomly bumped into the owner who handles our morning. He said despite not being open for nearly a year, they are surviving and and looking forward to having us back whenever we are ready.</p> <p>Robin</p> </div> </div> <!-- / .entry-container --> <div class="entry-meta clearfix right"> <a href="https://www.steelcon.info/2021/03/02/" class="date meta-info" title="March 2, 2021" rel="bookmark">March 02, 2021</a> <a class="url fn n ln author meta-info" href="https://www.steelcon.info/author/steelcon/" title="View all posts by Robin Wood" rel="author">Robin Wood</a> <span class="categories meta-info"><a href="https://www.steelcon.info/category/2021/" rel="category tag">2021</a></span> <span class="comments meta-info">0</span> </div> </div> <!-- / .entry --> </article> <article id="post-10960" class="post-10960 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-311 tag-sslv3 clearfix"> <div class="entry clearfix"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.steelcon.info/2020/sslv3-appreciation-day/" title="Permalink to SSLv3 Appreciation Day" rel="bookmark">SSLv3 Appreciation Day</a></h2> <div class="entry-container clearfix"> <div class="entry-content loop-content"> <p>Unless you know him well, you’ll be surprised to know that one of our longest standing supporters, Scott “Lord Helmet” Helme turns fifty this July.

We hope, for everyone’s sake, that the outbreak is taken under control very soon, and that by July, it is just a memory along with the bad winter weather, but we can’t take that risk.</p> <p>We could hold off and make this decision in April or May, but our first priority is to our attendees. We don’t want people booking holiday from work, paying for hotels and travel, and then, at the last minute, having to cancel them and fight to get refunds.</p> <p>We also have to think about our sponsors and spending commitments. We bring in quite a bit of cash from our sponsors, but most of it goes straight back out again on hosting costs. Making this decision now will limit those costs and not end up with us taking sponsor money, spending it, and then having to find ways to pay it back or to take a hit on next year’s event.</p> <p>We have looked at other alternatives, the main one being a virtual event. A few people have said that they would be OK with that, but it wouldn’t be SteelCon. People come to Sheffield for the atmosphere, for meeting old and new friends, and for downing shots of odd things they will probably regret in the morning. We have had quite a few submissions of both talks and workshops and we will be contacting everyone who has submitted to see if we can help them get their work out there in some other way, possibly with another conference that is doing some form of virtual event.</p> <p>For those of you who managed to grab a ticket in the test run, you’ll all get contacted as well to give you your options.</p> <p>So lets hope that with hindsight, this is the wrong decision, and that by July everything is back to normal and that the con would have run as it has for the last six years. But with the foresight we have now, we can’t take that risk.</p> <p>Pinching a line from @javvad, stay safe our friends, and look forward to 2021, where we will be back twice as strong to make up for it all.</p> </div> </div> <!-- / .entry-container --> <div class="entry-meta clearfix right"> <a href="https://www.steelcon.info/2020/03/12/" class="date meta-info" title="March 12, 2020" rel="bookmark">March 12, 2020</a> <a class="url fn n ln author meta-info" href="https://www.steelcon.info/author/steelcon/" title="View all posts by Robin Wood" rel="author">Robin Wood</a> <span class="categories meta-info"><a href="https://www.steelcon.info/category/2020/" rel="category tag">2020</a></span> <span class="comments meta-info">0</span> </div> </div> <!-- / .entry --> </article> <article id="post-10906" class="post-10906 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-306 clearfix"> <div class="entry clearfix"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.steelcon.info/2019/charity-donation-certifiate/" title="Permalink to Charity Donation Certifiate" rel="bookmark">Charity Donation Certifiate</a></h2> <div class="entry-container clearfix"> <div class="entry-content loop-content"> <p>We’ve just had this thank you certificate through from the nice people at <a href="https://www.birminghamhospice.org.uk/">Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice</a> which was our chosen charity for this year.</p> <p>Glad we could help them out in return for all they did for our friend Mike.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://www.steelcon.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/st_mary_donation-1-1024x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10910" srcset="https://www.steelcon.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/st_mary_donation-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://www.steelcon.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/st_mary_donation-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.steelcon.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/st_mary_donation-1-300x300.png 300w, https://www.steelcon.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/st_mary_donation-1-768x768.png 768w, https://www.steelcon.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/st_mary_donation-1.png 1259w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> </div> </div> <!-- / .entry-container --> <div class="entry-meta clearfix right"> <a href="https://www.steelcon.info/2019/08/22/" class="date meta-info" title="August 22, 2019" rel="bookmark">August 22, 2019</a> <a class="url fn n ln author meta-info" href="https://www.steelcon.info/author/steelcon/" title="View all posts by Robin Wood" rel="author">Robin Wood</a> <span class="categories meta-info"><a href="https://www.steelcon.info/category/2019/" rel="category tag">2019</a></span> <span class="comments meta-info">0</span> </div> </div> <!-- / .entry --> </article> <article id="post-10896" class="post-10896 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-306 clearfix"> <div class="entry clearfix"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.steelcon.info/2019/woodys-wonder-cube/" title="Permalink to Woody's Wonder Cube" rel="bookmark">Woody's Wonder Cube</a></h2> <div class="entry-container clearfix"> <div class="entry-thumbnail right"> <a href="https://www.steelcon.info/2019/woodys-wonder-cube/" class="block"> <img src="https://www.steelcon.info/wp-content/uploads//2019/07/cube-a7cadcb736838960b68f33c268dbc20c.jpg" class="block" alt="" /> </a> </div> <div class="entry-content loop-content"> <p>For those of you who have lost their programs but still want to fry your brains at the challenge that is Woody’s Wonder Cube, <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/cube_instructions.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="here are the instructions from the brochure (opens in a new tab)">here are the instructions from the brochure</a>.</p> <p>If you need a reminder of what to do, solve the crossword, decode the cube, solve the cube so it matches the crossword.</p> <p>We had two solves on the day so we know it can be done.
