The latest update from the organising committee is calling for at least 20 more sign ups as soon as possible this month.

3 January 2012

Hello everyone, and Happy 2012! We look forward to another stellar year in the Due South fandom, which should culminate with RCW 139: From A Million Miles, the 7th RCW 139 convention to be held in August in Toronto.

That said, we need your help to make the convention happen. We'll get right to the point: we currently do not have enough registrations to make the convention viable. Shortly after the last convention, and in early 2011, a lot of people wanted another event and asked when the next convention was going to be. Unfortunately, the great majority have not yet signed up. At this point, we need a minimum of 20 more attending registrations by 1 February 2012 to go ahead with RCW 139. This is by no means unreachable! And if you know you won't be able to attend, please get a supporting membership - the convention doesn't happen without our supporters (and you'll get a fantastic bag of goodies out of it!).

We know we're asking you to register well in advance, but the reality is that there is significant financial risk in organizing this event, which is borne entirely by the organizing committee. Remember that like you, we're just fans of the show who are doing this on the side. As such, we need to have a reasonable level of confidence that things are going to work out financially. At this point, all you need to do is place a $75 deposit before 1 February, and the balance of the payment will only be due by 31 May. For those who have already done so, thank you!

We think RCW 139: From A Million Miles will be another fantastic event. Each RCW 139 convention is unique... this one will be no different. You'll meet new and old friends alike, from all over the world. We already have interest from a number of guests, including Paul Gross, Jay Semko, Jeff King, and Tom Melissis. We have some new events planned, such as the Due South Props Exhibition. And of course we will bring back some of the more successful events: Due South Jeopardy, the Gala Dinner, Episode Watching... it will be an awesome time! So register now at the Online Store, and let's make this convention happen!

Just received email notification that registration is now open for the Due South convention next August. Limited to only 100 memberships!



From the RCW 139:From A Million Miles Due South Convention Committee:-

"Hello everyone!

As promised, registration for RCW 139: From A Million Miles is now open! You can find details as to how to register at www.rcw139.org, on the Registration/Online Store page under the RCW
139: 2012 tab. Here's a summary:

-Both attending and supporting memberships are on sale

-As per your request, we are once again using a deposit system for attending memberships. Deposits for adults are $75 and deposits for youth/children (17 and under) are $25. Deposits are due by 1 February 2012, and the balance of the payment will be due by 31 May 2012. You will also save up to $25 over the normal convention price by putting down a deposit.

-For supporting memberships: get yours now! Support RCW 139 and reserve your bagful of goodies, sure to be as good or better than last year's (remember the signed picture of Paul Gross in Gunless? The t-shirt? The matchbook from "Chicago Holiday"? The trading cards? And more...)! The price of supporting memberships is $50 + shipping - we are once again pre-charging shipping which will ensure you get your package as quickly as you did last year!

-All payments are through PayPal, our secure payment processor. You do not need a PayPal account to make a purchase.

-Note that attending memberships are capped at 100 this year - which will enable us to make sure the convention is as good or better than the last two. The only way to reserve your spot is to put down a deposit!

While we understand that making commitments this far in advance can be difficult, please realize that the entire financial risk of the convention is borne by the organizing committee. There is no profit in this for us - we are fans just like you, organizing what is sure to be another fantastic event. Therefore we must ask for your early registration. It doesn't have to be this week or even this month, but by 1 February 2012, we need to have enough registrations to make the convention viable. The entire Due South community has to pull together to make this happen. It is not the organizing committee's convention - it is everyone's convention, and it's going to be great!

If you have any questions, please consult our FAQ page, or send an e-mail to [email protected]! Thank you kindly!
