BritFur (convention)

BritFur was an proposed furry convention, seemingly due to happen in 2005 in Manchester, England, considered by some to have been a parody and/or hoax.

History
The idea for a British furry convention has been under debate for some time. Several groups attempted to organize something, apparently without success.

BritFur 2005 was scheduled to take place November 4-6, failing to actually happen. Furthermore, the proposed 2006 convention did not occur as announced, either.

Tippus Tailus, the convention's organizer, created the illusion of this UK furry con, which included a "website" for the event, under the idea that if he announced the formation of England's first furcon, it would gather enough fan interest to make it happen.

RBW actually did start in 2006, although it took several years to become what is now accepted as a convention.
