Right exams are over and its time to get EirtaKon really moving! For those who do not know we have had to move the convention back to November 11th to 13th (Friday - Sunday)

So first things first - the main jobs :)

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.

Stands - 1 Main contact for the dealers and stands. You will arrange the setup in the main hall. You will contact the dealers and keep them abrest of the recent developments and help them out when they arrive. You will have a few people helping you during the con to help out all the stands - you wont be alone :)

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! During the con will be General Staff.

Tech - 1 Very busy job - have to be able to fiddle, and fix :), projectors that stop working..sound systems.. pcs to projectors, laptops to projectors - whatever really! IF stuff breaks we need someone there to help us fix it. Will be a normal staff for most of the time but will be called upon if others cant fix stuff. This is really to lets us have someone to call on instead of grabbing whoever is nearest.

Anime Programme - 3 Ha the 'real' job :) This group will be responsible for organising the anime, getting the permissions, schelduing the anime and being called in when something isnt playing. Will be working throughout the con on this!

Event Programme - 2 Anything non anime related more or less! Setting up the times for the fan dubbing, talking with DCU Games Soc, DCU STOCS, anyone organising little events on their stalls. The raffle, pub quiz etc. Alot of people will have input here but these people run it. For instance everyone can say what should be asked in the pub quiz but these guys stand up and do it :)

Conbook Editor - 1 Get articales, nice pictures, put the adverts in nicly etc :) Good english required - so Im out ;) Will be general staff for the con.

These are the main parts I can think of, anyone know of any more? Reply to the list or email ams@redbrick.dcu.ie if interested in any of the parts. They may seem like you need knowledge of whats happening that hasnt been on the list but dont worry - we are a group and everyone will have the info from now on ^_^; It will become rather more active now!

Also the General Staff part! I think we now have enough to have people working one day - though if they want to help out more not going to stop them :) General staff encompasses more or less everything! Standing around and helping, sitting in showings that you want and calling someone if something goes wrong, helping to set up and take everything down, supervising games, the quiz etc.. everything :D

Thoughts?
