The convention is free to members.
Non members are charged £5 per day per person or if they are coming for the full weekend they are charged £8 per person. Should they decide to join the George Formby Society over that weekend, then the day charge will be set towards the annual subscription.
The conventions are always held in the Winter Gardens, Blackpool. The room can change and we are not usually informed which room we will have until 3 to 4 weeks before the event but usually there will be signs directing people to whatever room it might be. The room will always be displayed here as soon as it is known.
Start time officially is 13:30 and we break at 17:00, recommencing at 19:00 for a Formby film and then at around 20:45 the evening concert will begin. You can read about previous conventions here.
If you wish to join the GFS please go here.
