Attending-only registration will open at the beginning of March and is subject to availability. Day tickets will be made available in due course.

9	ensure you can enjoy the surroundings as you like. * Attendees enjoyed the ability to switch off from modern life during our con so we will continue with this philosophy. You won’t need a mobile phone or any technology to participate in Wild North. We will continue to provide daily updates at the con-ops noticeboard alongside updates on Telegram. * We will prepare floor plans and maps to ensure our new venue is easy to navigate. * Twizell is also considering acquiring a flag and discussing where to fly it with the venue. Following Data Protection rules, we will delete attendee information from the registration system unless you have asked us to save your details. If you need to, please enter your details again when registration opens in 2025. This is the part of the con cycle when we hibernate! However, we will continue to work behind the scenes. The Telegram, Discord, Facebook, and Bluesky pages will remain available. Of course, you can contact the organisers on Telegram (@WildNorthComms) or email us at events@wildnorth.uk. Yours sincerely, The Wild North Team Silverley, Tyde, Greskil Vulfhart, Sascha, Vannin, Gamepopper, Akai	430
10	Hello everyone! We appreciate all the detailed feedback and suggestions we received this year. After reviewing all your responses and discussing them as a team, we have written down a list of changes we wish to implement to address your feedback. While some issues are beyond our control, here’s how we plan to use your feedback to make the experience better for everyone for Wild North 2025: Accessibility: * We will prioritise mobility and accessibility, ensuring our activities are accessible. This will include providing enough space for people to move around and level access and ramps wherever possible. * Our priority will also extend to printed materials such as our conbook, conbadges, and room signage, ensuring they are clear and meet accessibility standards. * We will make sure any official maps and timetables are kept up to date with changes. Newcomers: * We were glad to see some new faces amongst our attendees this year. Still, we appreciate that our convention is unique compared to other furry events in the United Kingdom, which comes with unique expectations. As such, we will review our advice for first-timers, including what they should bring, so they have a seamless start to the con. Events: * We will provide daily updates of events, both online and at con-ops. * We were glad to read plenty of positive feedback about the events we had this year and the variety on offer. We will continue to offer a range of events, and we welcome your suggestions and offers for events to run next year. * Next year, We will improve our process for submitting and checking donations to our charity raffle. * As our Trading Post becomes more established, so do people’s expectations around it. We will ensure our planning and guidelines are thorough so traders know what to expect. Transport: * We plan to will increase the number of shuttle services for people arriving by public transport. * We are also looking into cafes and restaurants to recommend in Chester-le-Street whilst you wait for your shuttle or your journey home. Volunteering: * We appreciate all the attendees who took time out to help us make the convention enjoyable for everyone. As such, we will continue to offer plenty of opportunities for people to volunteer, whether at con-ops, as event stewards, or elsewhere. * We will also ensure that volunteers are fully prepared for their roles. This will include briefings, FAQ sheets, radio training, and a clear setting of expectations for both volunteers and organisers. * We will issue first aiders with a different-coloured lanyard so they are easily visible to attendees in emergencies. Featherstone Castle and Catering: As you know, 2024 is our last year at Featherstone Castle. We appreciate the feedback you’ve given about our venue for the past four iterations and the hard work of our kitchen and catering volunteers. We will pass relevant feedback to Featherstone Castle, which includes: * Heating – ensuring centrally heated areas are warm enough. * Our appreciation for the renovations (for example, the Oak Hall staircase). * Suggesting further improvements, such as fixing uneven floors and providing ramps for small single steps. * The condition of the riverside path – although the eroded section is beyond the castle’s property boundaries, the venue can inform future groups. Lumley Castle: Lastly, we are aware of discussions around our new venue for 2025. As such: * We will do our utmost to continue the unique experience that Wild North provides. With a maximum attendance count of 100, we are confident we can keep the personal feel of our con. * Moreover, many of our most popular events will continue, including Swordplay workshops and the Kubb Tournament. * We plan to provide multiple attending options, including attending-only and day access. We hope this will allow as many of you as possible to join us. In the next couple of months, we plan to announce prices for the con. * Like our old venue, our new venue is a medieval castle. As such, we aim to maintain our relaxed props policy, and we will speak with the venue to	305
11	Hello everyone! Thank you to all who attended Wild North 2024: The Enchanted Forest. Seeing all the photos and memories shared in the chats and on social media has been fantastic. There had been worries that we would be in for a rainy weekend, but miraculously, the convention was dry until the very last day. We even got to see the stars one evening. Now, onto the announcements: Little Paws Ferret Rescue have told us how much they enjoyed their return to Featherstone Castle. Our charity total last year was already impressive enough, but against all odds, you all have exceeded expectations. This year, we raised a total of £1,083.39! No doubt they will be delighted by your support and generosity. As you may know, the team here is always open to feedback and suggestions to improve next year’s Wild North. Therefore, if you have any ideas, thoughts, or general comments (anonymous if you wish), we have a feedback form for you all to fill in. The form will be open until Friday 18th October. Based on the responses we receive, we will publish a follow-up newsletter on all channels: https://forms.gle/UQZ7Yhh8kZZTU4S28 Wild North will return on the 26th to 29th September 2025. Registration will open in the new year (be on the lookout for future announcements), but you can save your details for next year on the registration site right now: https://regsys.myfurry.name/NEU/User/?id=5 We look forward to seeing you as Twizell travels to our new larger home in Chester-le-Street for Wild North: Haunted Halls.	298
