Hello all members of AMS, cade here, some of you might remember me from previous Eirtakons.
I’m joint Staff Manager this year along with rooose.
Every year Eirtakon gets bigger and better and we couldn’t do it without our volunteers!
If you have never been a volunteer at a convention before, don’t worry. Many of our volunteer members will have volunteered before, so you’ll be able to get lots of help and advice.
Just because you are working at Eirtakon doesn’t mean you will miss the workshop or event you have your heart set on. If you let us know in advance, we will arrange for you to have time off to go see your favourite event.
If you would like to help us at Eirtakon 2011 on the 11th - 13th of November by being a volunteer member then please sign up on the Eirtakon forums by posting in this thread
http://eirtakon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1052
and then private message myself (cade) and rooose the following information:
* Real name (This name will be going on your name tag, so if you have a preferred abbreviation, please tell us, e.g. Bob for Robert, whatever)
* Email address (One you check regularly, we want to make sure you get any vital information from us!)
* Age (Just to make sure you meet our age requirements!)
Being a member of the Eirtakon forums means you can vote on upcoming AMS showings and keep up to date on AMS events as well as conversing with many other AMS members and Eirtakon attendees.
If however you would like to Volunteer at Eirtakon but do not wish to join the Eirtakon Forums then you can simply email myself (cade) at staffmanager(a)eirtakon.com with the same information listed above.
We have just a few things we need from our staff.
1) Staff need to be present for the entire weekend. If you can’t be there on Friday night, that’s fine but we need you all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
2) Staff need to be present in the Helix for 8:30am each morning. We’ll provide you with breakfast, so it’s worth getting there early. We need staff there early because the attendees get there early!
3) You need to have attended Eirtakon at least once.
4) You need to be at least 16 years old.
5) This seems obvious, but you need to work. Chatting to friends when it is quiet is fine, you’ll almost certainly have downtime at each desk, but when it is busy we need staff to do their jobs. It makes life easier for everyone!
We really hope that lots of you sign up, either for the first time or to return as veteran volunteer members. It really is fun to volunteer at Eirtakon, we always have a blast and it's a great way to see another side of the con. You'll also get the exclusive Official volunteer TShirt!
If you have any questions, post them in the thread and either myself or rooose will answer them. Or feel free to pm one of us on the Forums and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. You can also email me or contact us in the Eirtakon IRC.
#Eirtakon on irc.synirc.com (If you type rooose or cade it will highlight us and we will notice someone is looking for one of us. Sometimes rooose is in there as reallyrose instead! It's probably best to look for us in the evenings.)

Hey guys,
So I'm guessing it would be easier for everyone who doesn't know where
Katie lives if we all went together. To that effect, there is a number
of us meeting up at the spire in town at 3:30 this afternoon, if you
want to go with us just make sure to get there on time.
If you are not there we will leave without you. :)
Just in case though, here's my number so you can feel free to beg us
to wait for you.
0877716773
See ya'll soon,
Ceili Braidwood.

Hey guys,
How's things? Everyone enjoying the weather? Stressing over exams?
Doing the same thing you've done every week? Well, that's what we're
doing anyway, this week is the final OFFICIAL showings for AMS this
college year.
As such we've done our best to come up with a pleasing list of things
to watch this week, and if you're lucky there may even be pizza
provided so come along at the same time as usual, 6 till 10 in C165!
With regards to the shows we will be watching, they will hopefully be,
"Samurai Jack", "Tiger and Bunny" and, "Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure",
for more information on all, or if you just want to argue with us and
get uus to watch something else instead, head on over to the forums
here:
http://eirtakon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1087
For those who were expecting Kara no Kyoukai, I apologise. For
everyone else, Hope to see you all tomorrow!
Sorry for the late mail,
Your Film Officer
Céilí Braidwood
Hey guys,
I'll get the main news out of the way first, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE
TO TELL US IF YOU WANNA JOIN US ON OUR TRIP TO LONDON TO THE MCM
LONDON EXPO!
> A limited number of DCU students may be eligible to additional

In other news, we elected a brand new committee during last weeks AGM
and they'll be taking over next year so if you're gonna be around next
year here's a list of who's who:
Chairperson: Cillian Donlon
Secretary: Shannon Walsh
Treasurer: Kin Hang Tang
Film Officer: Katie Connolly
Librarian: (Will be elected at EGM)
Public Relationships Officer: Conor Parks
Ordinary Member: Gaelle Izabelle
Since it's the second last week of official showings, I'd like to
remind everyone once again to please RETURN ANY BORROWED DVD'S OR
MANGA. If you don't bring them back by week 12 we will send our
dedicated librarian, Shannon Walsh, to seek you out and beat you until
you surrender the missing goods. :|
Also, for anyone who missed out when they first arrived, we still have
a limited number of AMS badges left for sale, they're €1 each, just
ask a committee member if you're interested.
And finally for what is always the least important part of these
emails, (it's okay guys, I know you never read them anyway) Showings
for this week will be Katanagatari and Detroit Metal City. If you wish
to add to the usual complaints about showing choices or to add your
own wishes for future showings you're welcome to check out the thread
at the forums here: http://eirtakon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1057
Showings will of course be at the usual time of 6 till 10 at the usual
place of C165.
Hope to see you all there,
Your Film Officer,
Ceili Braidwood. :)
