SIX OF ONE, THE PRISONER Official Appreciation Society, held
its 2009 28th annual Convention once again in the renowned setting of Portmeirion Hotel,
in North Wales. Registered members can attend all indoor and outdoor events in the many
acres of grounds. The hotel village of Portmeirion is block booked by Six of One, so that
members can stay at the resort over the convention weekend. Portmeirion's shops, bars and
dining facilities are also open. Special guest celebrities attend and stay over the
weekend.

The location was used for the filming of the cult 1967 British television series
"The Prisoner", starring Patrick McGoohan. Visitors to Portmeirion over the
Convention weekend can watch outdoor activities, but not attend indoor events. To join
"Six of One", see the Information page, or click the link at the top of this
page. With the backing of Carlton International Media, owners of the series, and
Portmeirion, who operate their famous "Prisoner Shop", Six of One recreates the
ominous "Village".

From here, in the 17 TV episodes, the prisoner 'No. 6' tried each week to escape.
Open buggies, giant white 'guardian' balloons, penny farthing bicycles and strange
characters made up the fantasy Village. Join in the proceedings - from carnival
atmosphere, to serious debate; from enactments, to screen presentations; from games like
"Human Chess", on a large lawn board, to celebrity guests. Find out more from
this site and its links. The series' unforgettable catchphrase is: "Be Seeing
You!"
