Right first thing to actually mention is that pazuzu has taken another of the anime group jobs - so only 1 more left there.
Ok so another cool thing has happened - a group over in the USA are doing an anime documentary and are intending to come over to europe to continue the documentary and want to go by EirtaKon as their first stop in Europe :) So they will be interviewing some staff and attendees, filming and such.
Another point has arose... what age limit should be imposed on the convention? Most UK cons run as 16+ but thats mainly due to insurance Im told. Well DCU handels that so we just have to consider what extra work that means for us. Thaed has volunteered as a Youth Leader if we are going to allow under 16s to attend.
One thing that comes to mind is that while we will be having certs put outside the showing rooms we will also have to have seperate badges (tickets) for the youths to make it easier to see who and who shouldnt be at a showing. During the day the bar will be closed except for the showings so they are fine there but all the night activites will be strictly 18+ anyway. We could have a show go on if we want and some staff dont want to help out in the pub quiz etc :)
Thoughts?

The youth leader is a good idea but you'll generally find the kids can look after themselves but the certs on showings and differant tickets are going to be very necessary, have them a differant colour so the staff can tell them apart easily.
Incidently is the pub quiz going to be strictly anime/manga themed or mixed with general knowledge as is done at games conventions?
