Convention Support Required - Bradford, England, 21-22nd October 2016



Airecon is not one that I've been to before, but it's been running for a while, which is why I'm throwing support behind it now, because I think that it's one of those cons that's nearly at the tipping point, things are going well, but with a little support from the community in general, they'll be going great...

So here it is, full details of the convention behind the cut, but for the purposes of this post, they're looking for volunteers to help out over the weekend,

Rewards package is very substantial, and for those wanting to volunteer, go to 

www.airecon.uk/volunteer

Volunteering is done in 2 hour slots, with the minimum commitment being 2 slots (4-hours), but the more that is done, the more rewards!
The rewards are;
2 slots - Entry to one day and AireCup (gives free refills on hot drinks)
3 slots - Entry to both days, T-shirt and AireCup
4 slots - Entry to both days, Personalised T-shirt, AireCup and 1 meal voucher
5 slots - Entry to both days, Personalised T-shirt, AireCup and 2 meal vouchers
6 slots - Entry to both days, Personalised T-shirt, AireCup and 3 meal vouchers
7+ slots - Entry to both days, Personalised T-shirt, AireCup, 4 meal vouchers and a high five
Meal vouchers can be exchanged for a meal deal at the Panini Bar (which also serves burgers and hot dogs) or for a proper Bradford Curry on Saturday night.
