May 2024 Update

goodie items boxesAs the conference gets ever closer, the excitement is building as the first shipment of goodies arrived today, courtesy of our friends at Lo Scarabeo. It’s as if the universe is conspiring to make this year’s conference even more special as aside from the lovely people at Llewellyn, three more companies and a wonderful individual have confirmed their participation in filling our goodie bags and will be sending over gifts for us to enjoy. The goodie bags are shaping up to be a real treat!

As the conference grows, so does the need for storage. I’ve had to invest in new shelving to accommodate the ever-growing piles of decks and deliveries. Let’s just say it’s a bit of a tarot card chaos around here, with boxes and decks stacked haphazardly everywhere. I’m too embarrassed to share a photo, but I promise to tidy up and share a picture once the new shelving is built and I’ve got everything organised.

The feedback about last year’s conference bags was so positive, I’ve reordered them with a purple theme. Interestingly, purple, without trying, has become a natural fit for our World year.  Any ideas why that has happened?  Our World card from the Limited-Edition Arcana 20 deck features Betty Jane from Canada and is dominated by the regal colour.  Speaking of which, Chris Butler and I have an idea brewing that involves… you guessed it – purple!

A reminder that anyone holding a ticket on deposit, please let me know if you are not going to make it in person. Numbers are secured at the venue, and I have a waiting list.  Of course, you can switch to a virtual ticket if you prefer.

I am away next week, I mainly post on my IG @kimarnold2310 if you want to follow my travel around Europe where I shall be discovering Tarot shops from Dubrovnik, Taranto, Montenegro, Sicily and Malta.  If you know of any shops please let me know.

That’s all for now, have a great month.

    July is typically a quiet period for our conference preparations, aside from following up with attendees who have been holding a ticket on deposit I took the opportunity to take a break with my family and enjoyed a wonderful 7-day stretch of sunshine in Marbella (what is going on with our weather)?

    On June 6th, I had the pleasure of hosting a one-day Tarot event, held near my home in Canterbury, Kent. After months of pondering themes, I realised that sticking with the title—UK Tarot Conference—was perfectly fine.  Having hosted the Tarot conference for 23 years, I believe the name is well-established and stands strong on its own….

    The countdown to the 22nd UK Tarot Conference has officially begun, and as always, this close to the event, I find myself lying in bed, wide awake as ideas and reminders flood my mind around 3 a.m.— my memory leaping into action in the quiet hours 😊. September is always a busy month, it’s a…

    This month, I had a meeting with the events team at The Copthorne Tara Hotel. Julie, my new contact, was delightful, professional, and on the ball, something I haven’t been used to in the past (lol).    She could not have been more helpful, which in turn stops me from hyperventilating!   Although we have a larger…

    July is a slow month for the conference; most things are in hand by now, and other than sending the final invoices for ticket payments and receiving the wonderful news that Weiser/Red Feather are to be one of our amazing sponsors for the conference, and creating new banners for the conference, I have had time…
