ConFuzzled @confuzzled.org.uk · Jun 20 Happy 18th birthday to... us! On June 20th 2008, the very first ConFuzzled started at Potato Wharf in Manchester. Got any memories you'd like to share with us? 📷 @malamutt.bsky.social

Been going since 2014. So many memories to choose from but the one that sticks with me is wishing I had bought more than a day ticket during 2014 because I didn't want to leave.
I later found out I was actually in Manchester the same time this was happening with no idea... 2010 was my first one. A bit sad to know some people in that photo are no longer with us.
Wish I was there, but I was only 6 at the time and didn’t even know of furries then.
Confuzzled has come a long way since!! My first was 2022 and is now the highlight of the year for me! It’s very very Special to me :3 <333
I met my wonderful fiance @hidekideer.bsky.social at CFZ 2018! We are getting married this October 💜
...You wouldnt know this was from Cfz! (2009 Victorian theme) and i still love these goofs to this day (they have since moved on and away from the fandom with the exception of chap in red. thats Saberhagen). You make friends for life at these events💚
Missed the very first one but haven’t missed a single one from 2009 onwards 💪😂🫠 #old
My first CFz was 09, but we had the trip to THE WALL, we had FOOSBALL AND POOL TABLES (you should bring those back even though you know we can't be trusted) and a fursuit photo where you can actually see all the fursuits in one photo. Strange times.
I remember the years before, with so many people trying to figure out how to get a UK con off the ground. And the thoughts that it just couldn't be done here. Congratulations to all the teams who made such an important part of people's lives a fully fledged and established reality.
2012 was my first confuzzled I remember travelling up from Southampton by coach , it was a very long journey and I didn’t feel well for the whole time there. But the next con we drove and it was the most fun I ever had in my life
He he he there I am *waves at young me*
I was there, and every one since. Only got a few photos, including my boxy old gargoyle suit!
Wow, the memories are so old. I actually have black hair back then. I remember 2008 well. I missed 09 but went to every CFz since until just recently. Back then Ibiza classics were popular and not ‘retro’ nowadays.
My first CFz was '25 (and my first CFz with a fursuit was this year) so very much still in the "having experiences and making memories" stage
Now I feel old! My first CFz was 2009!
I didn't know I shared my bday with ConFuzzled!
This is why I was confused by the XX on the logo for next year, I was like "wait I was at the 10th anniversary that surely hasn't been...."
I've been attending since 2012 and staff for the last 5. Loved. Every. Moment. ❤️
Woo! CFz is now old enough to attend CFz!
I see me! Lovely to see the early days! Leads me to reflect on friends old and new, some who have drifted away from the furry community and some who are no longer in this dimension of life at all. They are never fogotten.
Confuzzled at the YCH was jolly fun. Been to every single CFz since it all began... until this year!
I've been fortunate enough to attend every single ConFuzzled! I've far too many memories to fit into a single post, but I love this convention dearly! ❤️
And the old school fursuit making comp XD
Sadly missed the first but 2009 was my first con!
I was there! Great times 😊
I remember it. Dog, we were so young.
My favourite memory from CFz 2008: I thought I had missed the fursuit walk, but managed to catch up 🏃♀️ @timduru.org ran over, hugged me, grabbed my paw and helped me join right in to the group photo 🥲🥰 It was a kind, cute and fun moment. A memory I'll always remember with fondness and gratitude ❤️
It's where I met @lazerus101.bsky.social and we've been together ever since ❤️
After being every cfz since 2009 , been a fun almost two decades from a lil youth hostel to the hilton and many memoriss and friendos
I remember this.. ..as I was stuck at work unable to get the time off. I didn't make it to CFz until year 2. I didn't make it all the way through that as an attendee either, with @furble.uk dropping a red lanyard on me before the convention ended as I'd worked Pawpets, First Aid and Logistics! XD
My first con ever was this year's CFz actually! I had such an amazing time and made so many precious memories! Met so many sweet friends and amazing furries as well 💖 Thank you all (that includes CFz staff as well <3) for such an amazing experience, and I'm hoping to go next year as well! 🦊✨💖
I was there, I'm even in that photo! I remember in typical furry fashion we emptied their bar of drinks, they went to the shop to get more and we emptied that too! XD
Kinda mental to know there are now mutliple furmeets across the UK that get regularly above the attendance of the first ConFuzzled.
Absolute insanity how long its been. My first ever cfz and furcon in 2009. I just turned 18 then and managed to get my first dealers den table exp there too bevause I asked nice and there was a spare table on the sunday lol 2015 was my last one
