Great news today! Our favourite real mountie, Constable Terry Russel, will be back for RCW 139 in 2012! Terry has attended the 2008 and 2010 conventions, and has captivated us with his presentation about the RCMP - and his real-life stories about his experiences on the force. We promise to try and make time for pictures this year!

Hello everyone! It's been a while since the last update, as things have been quite busy! But we have some fantastic news to announce in this update.
- First, don't forget that May 31st it the last day to pay off your balance, which you can do easily through our online store. If you haven't put a deposit down, convention tickets will still be available from May 31st to July 15th, but the price will go up a little bit. Also note that there are only a few tickets left.
- Supporting memberships will remain on sale until July 15th, but the sooner you order them, the sooner you guarantee you get one! We sold out last year!
- We're having a Kitkat tasting contest again this year, so if you're coming from a million miles, and there are some strange and interesting varieties of Kitkat where you live, bring some! In fact, bring some even if they are not strange!
- By popular demand, the Saturday morning event will once again consist of breakfast at the Patrician Grill! Terry and the crew are thrilled to have us again, and this year they will make sure to have a supply of t-shirts on hand!
- Again by popular demand, we will once again have dinner in the Distillery District on the Thursday night, for early arrivals. Last year's dinner was awesome - here's hoping for the same fantastic weather and group of friends
- Don't forget the "Saddle Up My Travelling Shoes" photo contest. Send us a picture of you holding an identifiable Due South-related item (suggest a DVD set or soundtrack) in an interesting or unusual, but also identifiable location (The North Pole? The Great Wall of China? The top of the Empire State Building?). The best pictures will win a prize! We've only received 3 or 4 entries so far. Note that this is open to all supporting members too.
- We've received some more interest from guests and have updated the guest list. In particular, Jim Bracchitta and Ramona Milano would both like to attend if their schedules permit!
- And now for the most exciting news... Friday evening will be Jay Semko night at RCW 139. You might remember that Jay did a Q&A in 2008, and came again last year, this time with his guitar. Jay is coming again in 2012, and this time he will not only do the Q&A, but he will play a private, solo acoustic concert - including his own original material, material from the Northern Pikes, and of course... Due South! This is going to be just awesome. Who would want to miss it?

Hello everyone! We've just update our Online Store to reflect the end of the deposit period. The store now has various categories which will allow you to pay your balance due, or if you haven't placed a deposit, to buy a ticket outright. Make sure you select the right category in the store! The categories differ depending on whether or not you have placed a deposit, your T-shirt size, and age group. There are no changes to supporting memberships, which can still be purchased.
If you have placed a deposit, you have until 31 May 2012 to pay the balance.
And for the 5 people who managed to place a deposit after 1 February, but before we had the chance to update the website... well done! But that means there are only 20 tickets left for the convention for anyone else who is interested in coming!

What is RCW 139?
Named after a recurring license plate seen on Due South, RCW 139 is a convention organized by fans of the show for fans of the show. The first RCW 139 convention was held in 1996. Five more conventions have been held since then, the latest in 2010. RCW 139: From A Million Miles, set for August 2012, is the world's only Due South convention!
What makes RCW 139 so special is that is as much (if not more!) about people as it is about Due South. Every convention is different. Countless friendships have been made and renewed through RCW 139 - friendships that last a lifetime. Due South brings us together, but it doesn't take long to find that we have so much more in common than just our love for a TV show.
If you've never been, take a chance... we think you'll find it hard to believe just how many close friends you'll make over three days (or more!):
And if you've been before, then you already know it's not to be missed!
