Right hope all the exams went ok for you all!
First thing to say is that we will be continuing to show anime thorughout the summer! Every thursday in the Seminar Room from 7pm till 10pm. This Thursday coming will feature
7pm - Ghost in the Shell 8:30pm - Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex eps 1-3
Check out the page on showings to get an idea of what the anime are about!
Second point - the AMS is now a seperate society from Japanese soc. This means though that anyone who has signed up/paid money they are a member of Japanese soc so sadly we have no money currently... This did NOT stop us charging 900 euro of anime and manga to the SPC! :D We hope to be getting this shipment soon.
We hope though to provide free refreshments to those who attend the showings but to do this we need actual cash. So we will be opening membership now for next year - i.e. you pay your 4 euro now and thats good till September 2006!
Final point is that EirtaKon is doing great :D we have loads of sponsors giving us loads of stuff to give away, we have an american documentary crew interteresed in coming along, and we still got staff positions needing filling :D If you are interested in helping us make this the BEST, not just the first, anime con in Ireland sign up to the EirtaKon help list and take one of these positions or just be a staff member!
Registrations - 1 This will contacting people about payment, keeping the list of members up to date and also mailing out the con packs. If people wish to cancel you will be the person they talk to. Once the con starts you will be General Staff.
Publicity - 2 A very serious job as advertisment will be the main part of the con for the next few months. Two people are needed to post about it wherever possible, contact stores and see about putting up posters, contacting libraries, video stores etc Getting the name out and about!
