The Whoosier Network will be holding the second WhoosierCon later this month in Indianapolis and both Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred will be in attendance!

Last year The Whoosier Network held it’s first WhoosierCon Convention at the Warren Performing Arts Centre in Indianapolis. Nicknamed The Great UNIT Reunion, it brought together four of the principal actors from the Pertwee era: Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, John Levene and Richard Franklin. The first WhoosierCon also featured John Freeman, editor of Doctor Who Magazine, and Eric Hoffman, American fan historian and cabaret entertainer.

Here’s what the stars had to say:

Jon Pertwee:

“Thank you all for a splendid time.”

Katy Manning:

“You were all so wonderful. It was a lovely weekend.”

John Levene:

“Thank you for holding such a splendid convention. I loved every minute of it… The treatment we received was wonderful. I felt loved, wanted and appreciated from the moment you picked us up, to the time you dropped us off.”

Richard Franklin:

“Absolutely super. Thanks for bringing us all back together.”

Here’s what the fans had to say:

Lisa Hurtt, Corridor Of Infinity Vol. #1:

“If you didn’t go, you missed a cotton-pickin’ good time! I can’t say enough good about this con, folks. It was intimate, well-run, had properly invisible security…well-organized, and a great time!”

John Freeman, Doctor Who Magazine #176:

“This one-day event in Indianapolis will be remembered for many years as one with a touch of magic to it.”

Kevin Parker, Time Traveler Vol. 5, #5:

“The Whoosiers did a very good job with their first convention and here’s hoping that it’s not the last.”

Rick Smyers & Mick Spencer, The Zero Room #9:

“Would we go back next year? You bet!”
