Paredes de Coura Fan Weekend returns
Posted by Huw,
After a two-year hiatus, the Paredes de Coura Fan Weekend will be returning in physical form this year.
The recognised AFOL networking event, which attracts participants from around the world, takes place 10-12 June in Paredes de Coura, a small town 100Km north of Porto in Portugal. It's one of the highlights of the AFOL calendar, set in beautiful surroundings, in (hopefully) beautiful weather.
You can find out more and reserve your place at fanweekend.pt, and if you have any questions about the event feel free to ask in the comments. I've been twice so can hopefully answer them.

Never heard of it. Still sounds like fun!
Would be great if some pictures of past events were collected. So, when an event like this reoccur, we could see past event pictures to show us a little bit more precisely when is going on at these conventions.
@Huw
Maybe even a section on Brickset: AFOL conventions around the world. (1)A short description from the organisers, (2) usual dates it is held and (3) and a few pics: one of the general overview of the salon and maybe a few of the winners of the year (usually there are prizes won for best models in different categories). Maybe people would like to have this in an easy to find place and it wouldn't be too much work to maintain?!?!
Yearly pics would also show the evolution of mocs throught times and new trends in building techniques.
