BORING CONFERENCE!

BORING CONFERENCE IN UNAVOIDABLE CLASH WITH LOCOMOTIVE CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN AGM ON MAY 6TH

– May 6th sees regrettable and unprecedented overlap of two landmark gatherings in the enthusiast’s calendar

The Boring Conference, an annual conference devoted to the ordinary, the mundane and the everyday – and now in its seventh year – goes head to head this year with the Annual General Meeting of the Locomotive Club of Great Britain.

 

Talks at this year’s Boring Conference at Conway Hall include:

Mid 20th century Danish public information films.
Model villages.
Bleach.
How to fold each broadsheet in a confined space in order to do the crossword.
Music and knitting patterns co-authored by microbes.
An on-stage ironing demonstration

Previous Boring conferences have covered topics as diverse as ‘the sounds of vending machines’, ‘a taxonomy of sneezes’, ‘hot air dryers’ and ‘East German pedestrian signals’.

James Ward added: “I’m very excited about this year’s line up and I just hope that the clash will not cause any difficulty.  Obviously I’m not expected any funny business, but anyone travelling by train to attend the Boring Conference might think about choosing an alternative mode of transport in case there are, shall we say, conversations with the higher ups in the Locomotive sector that lead to travel delays.”
