Meet the team
If you've been wondering who is notionally "in charge" of the convention, wonder no more.
This band of handsome fellows take care of all aspects of the event, so if you're looking for someone to compliment or - more likely - someone to complain to, then track one of them down. If they're not immediately recognisable from their profile pictures, then look for the fetching cornflower-blue MidCon t-shirts, combined with a bemused, or drunk (or both) expression, and chances are you've found yourself a committee member.
Jeremy Tullett
Chairman
John Harrington
Beer Co-ordinator
Peter Card
First Lieutenant

Getting here and away
By bus
From Derby bus station, trentbarton's V1 "The Villager" runs every half hour to Burton, but conveniently stops right outside the entrance to the hotel in Mickleover.
There is also "The Mickleover" which runs every ten minutes, but to Mickleover town centre, which is a short walk from the hotel.
By train
Derby is well served by East Midlands Railway and CrossCountry - once there, transfer to the bus station for onward transport to the hotel.
By car
The hotel is easy to reach by car, whether coming from the east or west via the A50, or from the north or south via the A38 and beyond. Take the exit from the A516 towards Mickleover town center, which will sweep you up and back over the A516, with the turning to the hotel on your right immediately after the bridge.
Hotel plan
If you want to know what's where at the convention, this plan shows all the communal and gaming areas of the hotel.
