Thank you! I've updated the list with them

Oops! CamCon should end on May 13th not 31st. My fault, dyslexic... the 12th - 31st would be unusually long.

Date: 31st December 2011
Time: 9pm ~ 2am/3am (21:00 ~ 02:00/03:00)
Age Limit: 18+ (due to licencing laws at the venue)

It is really useful, thank you so much

Dunno how many cosplayers this is gonna attract, and whilst manga is mentioned on the about page it's more Western Comics focused, but it's free! I might give it a look if I can even if I don't go in cosplay (the idea of cosplaying on the Tyne and Wear Metro terrifies me) but here's another event. I could be persuaded to take a costume with me - but it's a distinct maybe.

The Canny Comic Con
Newcastle Central Library
December 10th 2011

Also this need adding:

Nemacon
Dates TBA June 2012
Middlesbrough

Oh, and

The Nemacon Winter Social

And Minamicon is misspelled. ('minami' is Japanese for 'south' because Minamicon is in Southampton, whereas 'kita' is Japanese for 'north' and Kitacon used to be in Northampton).

The Leeds Branch of Forbidden Planet International is having a manga night. Only a short one but thought I'd link it:
