[edit] Background
RBW was first held in 2006, taking place on a River Thames party boat. The event included music and a live performance by furry comedian and musician '2, The Ranting Gryphon'. The party sold out with 80 tickets being bought for the event and over 100 people attending the daytime activities.
In April 2007, the RBW Staff decided to expand the event from a single day event into a full two day weekend convention. Whilst still centered around the boat party, RBW 2007 also offered attendees a wider range of panels and events, focused around fursuiting, art and gaming. RBW 2007 sold a total of 242 tickets.[1]
Following the success of 2007, organisers sought to emulate the format of larger conventions by hosting the 2008 event in the Royal National Hotel, Bloomsbury, London. The convention took placed as planned, drawing approximately 290 attendees and significantly expanding on the range of events offered.
RBW 2009 was held from 30 October-1 November 2009 under the theme "Good Vibrations", with 226 in attendance. The moniker of Red, Blue and White was dropped in favour of Rather Brilliant Weekend
RBW 2010 took place 5–7 November 2010, with 216 attendees.[2] The new theme, "Space Cowboys" took a prominent role in the events of the convention.
