Helicon 2 Wins Eastercon

The 2002 Eastercon will be Helicon 2, in Jersey

Helicon 2 won the bid for the 2002 Eastercon, opposed by three spoof bids -- Movacon, e.con and Conker.

Despite extremely high room rates (£55 per person per night for twin/double occupancy), and the extra cost of getting to Jersey, the bid was quite well received, and there were few votes for a hold-over decision.

The voting in full was:

Movacon	1
e.con	7
Conker	11
Helicon 2	Many
Hold-over	5
Abstention	Not counted
