Yay feedback time!
First off would like to say it was an amazing time, loved it all but sadly it was never perfect and there were a few things I would like to give my opinion on
Thursday - The food issue. The Hotel staff apparently didn't know or didnt have the menu for the weekend till later on. It was sorted but the delay was a little annoying
Poor Ralicat - Me and my fiancee were in Furry Philosophy and Rali had to run out part way through as he was meant to help run and organise 4 events. It gave a bump in the pace to that specific event
Buffet - The sponsor buffet felt a little.... underwhelming the selection of food was not that great, alot of the sandwiches on offer had stuff like mustard and pickle inside. Personally I dont like that so my options were limited, but compared to last year it felt a little let down. Just a suggestion for next time maybe have a private sponsor BBQ where you get an exclusive ticket in your pack at registration. If a sponsor doesnt want to go he/she can give his ticket to someone else but the ticket MUST be shown before getting the tasty nom treats,. Just a suggestion
Art collection - Was insane TBH there was only 1 till running? what happened to the 2 or 3 in previous years? it really slowed down processing time. Not much else to say just hope it gets sorted next year
Art Auction - ban 1 pound bids its annoying. also its unfair that art going into the charity auction has no percent going to charity.... if your not going to give anything personally I dont think it deserves to make the auction regardless of how nice the art is
Disco - this is just a personal issue. I have asthma, and on most nights I couldnt get near the floor due to the thick cloud of smoke produced by the machine. Im not going to ask that we no longer have it thats not fair but maybe better ventilation?
Monday - The food after about 12... the prices went up and the quality went waaaaaaay down. my burger dried my mouth out and my fiancee hot dog... the bun was split adn the sausages were limp and hardly any cheese or chips were on the plate. I understand that we dont exclusively have the hotel after that time, but people were being told 'yes the promotional food was still on by the staff of the hotel. we could just manage to get one meal from the hotel that day and eat some of the food we had with us later. my friend had to cut a meal of the day out simply cause he hadnt the money any more. A simple suggestion for con and hotel staff :- keep the cheap and good quality meals and drinks all the way till the end of monday and the only way to get served it, is to show your con badge that way no randomers can get the deals but we still benifit. after spending money at a con alot of people wont have the cash to buy the more pricey meals
ok thats done rant over. sorry if i have offended anyone this is my opinion and my suggestions for next time
