'''ConFuzzled 2009''' was the second rendition of the British convention [[ConFuzzled]]. It took place on May 22 to May 25, 2009 in [[wikipedia:Manchester|Manchester]], [[wikipedia:North West England|North West England]] at the Manchester International Youth Hostel. The theme was [[wikipedia:Victorian era|Victorian era England]], and attendance reached 182 people.<br />
<br />
== Registration ==<br />
Registration was opened at 9pm BST (UTC+1) on the 31st July 2008. It was the first ConFuzzled to offer an attendance only rate for those that live locally or wish to stay in local hotels. The attendance only rate does not include food at the hostel and is currently limited to 51 places. Prices were £50 attending, £160 standard (including accommodation and food), and £200 [[Convention sponsorship|sponsor]]. The standard and sponsor rates were cheaper than those in 2008. "Early Badgers" who registered and paid before the 2nd September 2008 got a £10 discount.<br />

Following feedback from attendees, many popular events returned from [[ConFuzzled 2008]], in addition to extra gaming events, an anime talk, writing workshop and the Guest of Honour events, a cartoon workshop hosted by [[Tabbiefox]] and a talk on running a convention by [[Cheetah (musician)|Cheetah]].<br />
<br />
== The PawPet Show ==<br />
This year, the convention hosted the first UK PawPet Show, created, developed and performed by [[PawPets UK]], a group formed out of members of ConFuzzled staff and talented attendees for the purposes of producing a show for ConFuzzled.<br />
<br />
The show followed a similar format to [[Eurofurence]]’s [[DoPE|LSD show]] in that it was a story based theatrical three act play with comedy, music and some drama, though the UK show focused on a more skit based comedy style and [[wikipedia: Pantomime|Pantomime]].<br />
<br />
''[[The Great James Mountbatten-Windsor's Magnificent Zoological Extravaganza]]'' (or ''The Mancunian Play''), was the title of the show and it told the story of four performers and their stage manager as they attempted to put on a variety show in what they soon discovered to be a haunted theatre.<br />
<br />
The show featured custom built puppets for all of the main characters, guest starred [[FurbleFox]], the ConFuzzled [[Convention Chairman]], and also featured a brief cameo by [[Uncle Kage]].<br />
<br />
== Guest of honour ==<br />
ConFuzzled 2009 had 2 guests of honour.<ref>[http://www.confuzzled.org.uk/content/en/Guests+Of+Honour Guests of Honour] at [http://www.confuzzled.org.uk/ ConFuzzled 2009]. Accessed February 24th 2009.</ref><br />
<br />
[[Tabbiefox]] was announced as the first guest, having last year created the artwork for the convention's mascot: Brok the Badger.<br />
<br />
[[Cheetah (musician)|Cheetah]] was announced<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/confuzzledlj/38975.html Guest of Honour 2 Announcement] at [http://community.livejournal.com/confuzzledlj/ ConFuzzled LiveJournal]. Accessed February 24th 2009.</ref> as the second guest of honour <br />
on the 11th of February. He provided inspiration and advice to the ConFuzzled Staff in helping to establish CF and it was felt fitting that he should be repaid for the help he provided.<br />
<br />
