Convention Poll

I don't pretend to be any kind of "expert" on running conventions. It's just that griffin and I are the only ones who've ever done it before in this country. I'd love to see someone more capable run a TF convention here if only they'd put their hand up to do it.

so the proposed big big meet is now officially canceled?

We could always do that, a Big Big Meet somewhere where we can trade and show off our toys, etc. Kind of like a big version of the 'After Parra Fair' get togethers.

Most of our acquisitions recently have come more from these trade meets than the actual Fair anyway.

Actually i've, and if I recall, a few others have put our hand up saying we'd help in any capacity.

Yes, i'm no where near the intended target of the convention, but even if I was to do stuff like design posters (which can be e-mailed and printed down in Sydney) or other stuff like that. It may not be much but every little bit helps, especially if it saves a couple of hours, hours which can be dedicated to larger aspects of the organisation.

Back to the topic at hand, a booth is, as someone said, better than nothing. It's probably not something i'd travel for though (but would still help out from a distance with anything I can). A convention I would give serious thought to travelling for. Yes, would still help out any way I can, but actually making the effort would be my way of really showing support for the concept.

Again, if u guys do do a convention i think that getting donations isn't just gonna be enough to even sustain that. You need to be able to give people something more tangible. I very much concur with Gamblor's suggestion and feel it would help the longevity of any proposal if we could at least get people to contribuet to the fee.

I tried searching the supernova site but couldn't come up with a cost. Anyone know?
