Tryst: Brought up to date.

[[Image:tryst_conbadge.jpg|thumb|right]]
'''Tryst''' (real name '''Robert Barnes'''; born October 23rd, 1986, in [[Wikipedia:Swansea|Swansea]], [[Wikipedia:Wales|Wales]]) is a [[furry]] and creator of [[fursuit]] items.

In 2009 Tryst graduated from the [[Wikipedia:University of Surrey|University of Surrey]], in [[Wikipedia:Guildford|Guildford]], [[Wikipedia:England|England]] as a [[Wikipedia:Master of Engineering|Master of Engineering]] in electronic and satellite engineering. It was during his many years at university that he discovered furry. He now works as an [[Wikipedia:Electronic engineer|electronic engineer]] for a prestigious research agency in the UK.

Tryst's [[fursona]] takes the form of an [[anthropomorphic]] domestic [[cat]], roughly six feet tall and darkly coloured. His markings are plain, although it is obvious that this feline has seen a lot of outdoor life; his fur is scruffy and he has a nick out of one ear. Despite his rough exterior, his eyes are clear, green and seem a great deal older than the rest of him.

== Names and Aliases ==
The name Tryst, although frequently eluded to refer to the old English for a clandestine amorous meeting, is in fact merely short for '''[[Wikipedia:Trystan|Trystan]] Fel Cath''' - a self-fashioned Welsh name, the latter part of which means literally 'cat like'.

In addition to this, he regularly uses the alias '''Barnzi''', which is a corruption of his [[real life]] surname.

Tryst can occasionally be found on the 14MHz amateur radio band and the British [[Wikipedia:CB_radio_in_the_United_Kingdom|Citizen's Band]] under the call signs M3XUG and 2F4LJ respectively.

== Meet Attendance and Conventions ==
Although he had been known to attend furmeets in [[Wikipedia:Cardiff|Cardiff]] and [[Wikipedia:Bristol|Bristol]] when he used to live in Wales, Tryst can be most frequently found attending the [[London Furs]] meets. He is normally located somewhere between an empty pint glass and the bar.

For a brief period, he tried to offer his services as a group liaison and handed out many business cards. However, this became unmanageable due to the rapidly increasing size of the group. He still, however, remains a good group contact that has a fair chance of being on speaking terms with everyone.

Tryst has been involved with [[RBW]] since its second year in [[RBW_2007|2007]]. In the beginning his involvement was limited to technical provisions such as sound, light and staging. However, his responsibilities have grown considerably over the years. With the departure of [[Foxberance]] from the [[:Category:RBW_staff|team]] in early 2009, Tryst took on the majority of the convention's administrative work including financial planning, project management and running the back-end limited company, [[ARF]].

When not staffing RBW, Tryst enjoys attending [[Confuzzled]] in [[Wikipedia:Manchester|Manchester]] and [[Eurofurence]] in [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]]. He hopes to go to his first [[Wikipedia:North_America|North American]] convention next year, despite not being able to drive there.

{{RBW}}

'''RBW''' (originally '''Red Blue & White''') is the UK's first and Europe's [[List_of_conventions by attendance|second largest]] [[furry convention]]. Held annually in [[Wikipedia:London|London, England]], it attracts furs from across the UK, Europe and the US.

== Background ==
Founded in 1998, the [[LondonFurs]] had a long tradition of an annual Christmas meal. However, in the last few years the group has grown to such a point as to make an annual dinner for all impractical. When [[Rapido]] became responsible for the group in 2006, he replaced the meal with a much larger event, ''Red, Blue and White'' (originally ''London Boat Party''). Taking place after the 2006 Christmas [[LondonFur Meet]], the party attracted around 85 furs who were entertained by music and a live performance by [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] aboard a leisure boat sailing up and down the [[Wikipedia:River Thames|River Thames]].

In 2007 the event was expanded into a full two day convention format, albeit one that took place in a bar in the [[Wikipedia:City of London|City of London]]. Selling 242 tickets<ref name="FactFile">''[http://community.livejournal.com/rbwuk/15427.html RBW 2007 Fact-file!]'' - [[Foxberance]], {{lj-comm|rbwuk}} (5 December 2007)</ref>, the event continued to focus around the boat party, but also offered a wide range of events on shore.

After the success of 2007, organisers sought to emulate the format of larger conventions by hosting the 2008 event in the Royal National Hotel, [[Wikipedia:Bloomsbury|Bloomsbury]], [[Wikipedia:London|London]]. However, Rapido dramatically left the team in the summer preceding throwing the organisation into confusion and spreading doubts about the event's future success. Fortunately the intense efforts of the remaining team, now joined by the dynamic duo [[Kittiah]] and [[Miyabi]], allowed [[RBW 2008]] to proceed.

Looking to the future, [[RBW 2009]] will again utilise the hotel convention format, with the boat party -- for which the convention has become world renowned -- remaining a central feature.

'''RBW''' (originally '''Red Blue & White''') is the UK's first and Europe's [[List_of_conventions by attendance|second largest]] [[furry convention]]. Held annually in [[Wikipedia:London|London, England]], it attracts furs from across the UK, Europe and the US.

== Background ==
Founded in 1998, the [[LondonFurs]] had a long tradition of an annual Christmas meal. However, in the last few years the group has grown to such a point as to make an annual dinner for all impractical. When [[Rapido]] became responsible for the group in 2006, he replaced the meal with a much larger event, ''Red, Blue and White'' (originally ''London Boat Party''). Taking place after the 2006 Christmas [[LondonFur Meet]], the party attracted around 85 furs who were entertained by music and a live performance by [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] aboard a leisure boat sailing up and down the [[Wikipedia:River Thames|River Thames]].

In 2007 the event was expanded into a full two day convention format, albeit one that took place in a bar in the [[Wikipedia:City of London|City of London]]. Selling 242 tickets<ref name="FactFile">''[http://community.livejournal.com/rbwuk/15427.html RBW 2007 Fact-file!]'' - [[Foxberance]], {{lj-comm|rbwuk}} (5 December 2007)</ref>, the event continued to focus around the boat party, but also offered a wide range of events on shore.

After the success of 2007, organisers sought to emulate the format of largr conventions by hosting the 2008 event in the Royal National Hotel, [[Wikipedia:Bloomsbury|Bloomsbury]], [[Wikipedia:London|London]]. However, Rapido dramatically left the team in the summer preceding throwing the organisation into confusion and spreading doubts about the event's future success. Fortunately the intense efforts of the remaining team, now joined by the dynamic duo [[Kittiah]] and [[Miyabi]], allowed [[RBW 2008]] to proceed.

Looking to the future, [[RBW 2009]] will again utilise the hotel convention format, with the boat party -- for which the convention has become world renowned -- remaining a central feature.

{{date|March|11|2008}}{{develop}}
'''RBW 2008''' is shaping up to be a huge success this year; within 72 hours of opening registration, 100 tickets of varying levels have been sold. With over 8 months to go, the convention seems set to be much larger than anyone could have anticipated, already having made it past a third of the 242 tickets that were sold for [[RBW 2007]].

This figure includes '''XX''' Platinum tickets at £150('''℮'''US$300) each, which offer numerous extras such as: free access to the hospitality suite, a free meal with the Guests of Honor, an RBW T-shirt, express sign-in, access to the traditional boat party, a signed print by the artistic Guest of Honor and a trip with the Guests of Honor on one of the world biggest icons - the [[Wikipedia:London_Eye|London Eye]].<ref name="tickets">[http://www.rbw.org.uk/tickettypes.php RBW Ticket Pricing]</ref>

The first confirmed Guest of Honor for 2008 was announced as the talented [[Latin Vixen]], who will be joined by other guests to be announced at a later date by the organizers. Alongside the Guests of Honor, RBW 2008 will also have a number of other Guests and VIPs, including [[Timothy Albee]] and [[Fatkraken]].<ref name="guests">[http://www.rbw.org.uk/goh.php Guests of Honour and VIPs]</ref>

[[Image:Rbw-boat-2008-1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The Erasmus party boat.]]
Events for 2008 see the return of the boat party that started it all and was a huge success at RBW 2007. Due to increased popularity over previous years, RBW has had to yet again find a larger boat. The Erasmus is one of the largest pleasure boats on the [[Wikipedia:River_Thames|River Thames]] and will play host to 310 furs over it's 3 floors from 8pm till midnight on the Saturday of the convention.

As well as the return of the boat party, RBW will be welcoming back Timothy Albee who will be talking about his time in Antarctica and the bond he formed with his pack of huskies that have saved his life numerous times.

2008 will also see the return of the Fursuit Commonwealth Games, the RBW Charity Auction and the Fursuit Construction Panel, this year being hosted by Latin Vixen.<ref name="events">[http://www.rbw.org.uk/events.php Great Furry Events at RBW 2008]</ref>

{{merge|Robert Barnes}}
[[Image:tryst_conbadge.jpg|thumb|right]]
'''Tryst''' (born '''Robert Barnes''', October 1986, [[Wikipedia:Swansea|Swansea]], [[Wikipedia:Wales|Wales]]) is a university student at the [[Wikipedia:University of Surrey|University of Surrey]], in [[Wikipedia:Guildford|Guildford]], [[Wikipedia:England|England]] where he studies satellite engineering. He grew up in Swansea before moving to Guildford in 2004 and discovering furry shortly thereafter via live action roleplay (LARP).

His fursona takes the form of an anthropomorphic domestic cat, roughly six feet tall and darkly coloured. His markings are plain, although it is obvious that this feline has seen a lot of outdoor life. His fur is scruffy and he has a nick out of one ear. Despite his rough exterior, his eyes are clear, green and hint of secret knowledge.

His long term partner is [[Beanie]].

== Names and Aliases ==

The name Tryst, although frequently eluded to refer to the old English for a secret meeting, is in fact merely short for '''[[Wikipedia:Trystan|Trystan]] Fel Cath''' - a self fashioned Welsh name, the latter part of which means literally 'cat like'.

In addition to this, he regularly uses the alias '''Barnzi''' which is a corruption of his [[real life]] surname.

== Meet Attendance ==

Although he has been known to attend furmeets in [[Wikipedia:Cardiff|Cardiff]] and [[Wikipedia:Bristol|Bristol]] when he used to live in Wales, Tryst can be most frequently found attending the [[London Furs]] meets. He is normally located somewhere between an empty pint glass and the bar.

For a brief period, he tried to offer his services as a group liaison and handed out many business cards. However, this became unmanageable due to the rapidly increasing size of the group. He still, however, remains a good group contact that has a fair chance of being on speaking terms with everyone.

He grew up in [[Wikipedia:Swansea|Swansea]], [[Wikipedia:Wales|Wales]] before moving to Guildford in 2004 and discovering furry shortly thereafter.

His long term partner is [[Beanie]].

== Names and Aliases ==

The name Tryst, although frequently eluded to refer to the old English for a secret meeting, is in fact merely short for ''[[Wikipedia:Trystan|Trystan]] Fel Cath'' - a self fashioned Welsh name, the latter part of which means literally 'cat like'.

In addition to this, he occasionally uses the alias ''Barnzi'' which is a corruption of his [[real life]] surname.

== The Fursona ==

Tryst's fursona takes the form of an anthropomorphic domestic cat, roughly six feet tall and darkly coloured. His markings are plain, although it is obvious that this feline has seen a lot of outdoor life. His fur is scruffy and he has a nick out of one ear. Despite his rough exterior, his eyes are clear and green and hint of secret knowledge.

== Meet Attendance ==

Although he has been known to attend furmeets in [[Wikipedia:Cardiff|Cardiff]] and [[Wikipedia:Bristol|Bristol]] when he used to live in Wales, Tryst can be most frequently found attending the [[London Furs]] meets in the Theodore Bullfrog. He is normally located somewhere between an empty pint glass and the bar.

For a brief period, he tried to offer his services as a group liason and handed out many business cards to this effect. However, this rapidly became unmanagable due to the rapidly increasing size of the group. He still, however, remains a good group contact that has a fair chance of being on speaking terms with everyone.
