Over 1,000 music fans flock to Brean for Queen convention

-

Over one thousand Queen fans descended on Brean at the weekend for the 23rd annual Queen Fan Club Convention.

The three-day event, held at Pontins holiday camp, attracted fans from as far away as America and Australia.

Sheila Synnott, one of the event’s organisers, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “The weekend was a great opportunity for Queen fans from all over the world to meet, talk about Queen and catch up with old friends.”

The weekend’s programme included live bands, discos and guest speakers. As well as being a fun event, the convention also raised money for charity through collections, sales and auctions.
