I went to a skeptics conference in london in Oct (http://www.tamlondon.org/). Was entertaining and informative. They talked a bit about these events.

When the tickets were advertised at £207, I was skeptical - turned out I was wrong to be.

Dave!

Yeah The Amazing Meeting (TAM) gets some awesome speakers, and they get more attendees every year. Hopefully I'll get to one in the near future.

I'm pretty sure anyone's welcome, believer or not! You won't have to show credentials at the door or anything!

An excellent paranormal skeptic he more or less debunked nessie and others in my mind!

Dave!

Yeah Joe Nickell is good, he has carried out heaps of investigations and things, and he goes in with a genuinely curious frame of mind.
