ChryedCon 2012
     
       






ChryedCon has now happened!

We have raised over £1,000 for Stonewall and Imaan (Update 15.11.12: final total raised of £1,093.38, divided equally between the two charities) and had a fantastic weekend, full of fun, laughter, tears, and a wee bit of proper normal Chryedian bonkersness.

Thank you so much to everyone who attended and made it such a success; the committee and volunteers for all their hard work; everyone who ran or contributed to a panel; everyone who donated an item to the Charity Auction and everyone who bid on items or donated money.

Special thanks to:

  • Yusef Gojikian, Welfare Officer of Imaan, for giving up his free time and for his informed and inspirational talk; and Tawseef Khan, Chair of Imaan, for his enthusiasm and help.


  • Richard Davidson for speaking so eloquently and passionately about Chryed and EastEnders (again, in his free time), and for his contribution of two signed scripts to our Charity Auction.


  • Pete Lawson and Daisy Coulam for their email contributions and all their help and encouragement.


  • Marc Elliott and John Partridge for signing pictures for the Auction and for their interest and support.



ChryedCon 2012

ChryedCon took place on 27-28th October 2012, at the Novotel London City South hotel. For more details about the event, take a look around the site or read the FAQs.



In 2009, British soap EastEnders plunged into new territory as devout Muslim Syed Masood fell for party boy Christian Clarke – and what followed was a love story that transcended cultural boundaries, wrestled with faith and sexuality and, eventually, taught its audience the true value of being yourself.

Three years on, that storyline has amassed a large, dedicated and diverse fanbase. It is for this fanbase that ChryedCon was created.

As the first unofficial convention for fans of Christian and Syed, ChryedCon brought people from all across the UK and beyond to celebrate a story that has had an impact on all of our lives. The two-day convention was a chance for fans to meet old friends and make new ones; celebrate these beloved characters; debate, discuss and overanalyse as only Chryedians can; raise funds for charity; and most importantly, to have fun! It was a celebration of a storyline that, in every way, deserves celebration.

ChryedCon is also working in conjunction with charities Stonewall and Imaan, and the event raised over £1,000 for our two chosen charities. Further information about these organisations can be found on our ‘Charities’ page.
