http://www.interaction.worldcon.org.uk/

For immediate release: Friday 6 December 2002

         Interaction Confirms Scandinavian Membership Rates

    Interaction today confirmed its initial membership rates for the 
Scandinavian countries outside of the Eurozone (Denmark, Norway and 
Sweden - Finland is in the Eurozone for which rates have previously 
been announced). As the first Worldcon to feature a Scandinavian Guest 
of Honour (Lars-Olov Strandberg, the leading Swedish fan and co-
founder of SFSF, the Scandinavian SF Association), Interaction is 
strongly promoting itself throughout the region, and hopes to attract 
a record number of Scandinavian fans.  Local agents are in place 
across the region and senior members of the Interaction committee will 
also be attending Finncon X, the 2003 European Science Fiction 
Convention, in early August 2003.

    The main Interaction rates, in Danish Krone (DKK), Norwegian 
Krone (NOK), Swedish Krona (SEK) and Euros (EUR) are as follows:

Full Attending - 880 DKK, 900 NOK, 1090 SEK or 120 EUR.
Supporting - 350 DKK, 360 NOK, 440 SEK or 50 EUR.
Child (7-15 years old on 4th August 2005) - 380 DKK, 390 NOK, 460 SEK 
      or 53 EUR.
Infants (0-6 years old on 4th August 2005) - free.

Reductions on these rates are available to Pre-Supporters and Friends 
of Interaction and to anyone who participated in the 2005 Site 
Selection Vote at the 2002 Worldcon, Conjose. A full list of all 
rates and discounts is available on the Interaction website at
