Unconfirmed at this stage. Will advise if this changes.

If it was a solid room divide that could work. We could at a pinch have a single room with an area outside. Though we would need to be able to make noise there. And if it is a public area. We will have to change the content.

This is the 4D thing. I am trying to gauge interest from the convention first. Then I will try to get people intertested in doing it. It failed last time due to a lack of interest.

Events / Experience event

« on: September 30, 2014, 18:11:29 »

Hi,

I am looking in to running an event at Confuzzled next year. We would require two adjoining rooms for around 4 hours (2 hours setup, two hours event). One of the two rooms would require full blackout and theatre style seating for around 15-20 people.

We will provide everything and everyone else required.

Is this a realistic request?

Regards

Balloons are a no as i think either last year or the year before one ballon hit a par can (which is lit by a very warm halogen bulb) burst and then fused with the glass lens due to the heat, was a nightmare to get off before returning to the hire company.

As for the admittance policy I believe the rule is no new admittance 15mins prior to end, however i wasn't aware that existing attendees were being turned away after getting "cooled" down / taking a short break.
Unsure as to how to address this as to track all the people coming and going ... would be a bit logistically tough, It is a point that would need to be discussed with the security and nightclub teams.

I suspect as everyone now knows, it won't be an issue!

It was written on the door, but I have to admit I didn't notice it until it was brought to my attention.

As forum moderator I gotta ask you to stay on topic and refrain from provocations like this. Please keep the discussion fair and objective.

Fair enough.

I suspect the answer to the original question is simply logistics, and it will be easily fixed for next year!

I was also told I wasn't allowed to take my balloon into the night club so went all the way back to my room in suit (2nd floor right at the end of the corridor) came all the way back to see other people being let in with balloons.

Balloons should *not* have been allowed into the nightclub - this was originally checked with the nightclub staff who were concerned about potential damage to some very expensive equipment. However, there wasn't a written policy for that

I believe the potential issue with balloons was primally metallic ones as it was in a Risk Assessment regarding the lasers.
It would make sense to have a blanket NO so that everyone is under the same rules, as you say perhaps this is a point for next year.

I don't know if the ban was related to the lasers. It was on our risk assesment that foil balloons were a potential hazard that the LSO on duty was told to look for. I only spotted one foil balloon at the whole con, and it was tied to a suiter too low down as to present a hazard in the nightclub.

Certainly a ban does remove that potential hazard, though non foil balloons don't present a problem.

Did you not do the EF bum hardening program? 3 hour puppet show sat on a hard wooden bench really toughens the buns!

If you'd prefer that, I'll be more than happy to ask security to remove a chair and reserve you a space on the floor at any stage event of your choice at EF

A reserved space at a Eurofurence event? Now I know I've hit the big time!

The last time we had that was EF 13 if I remember correctly...

And I congratulate you on 6 chair filled years!

Though by that reckoning Confuzzled should be numbing bums for another 6 years yet!
