IN THIS ISSUE:
It's only two weeks until Nullus Anxietas 9 - The Australian Discworld Convention. Are you ready? We are.... Almost!
The festivities kick off on Friday, 12th July at 12pm - but you can hit up registration at the Troll Bridge to get your badge and convention bag (full of lots of goodies) from 11am.
There will be one more newsletter in the week prior to the convention - so if you've got any questions in the meantime, please ask in our Facebook group, or contact us on the website or at contact@ausdwcon.org
You've got only a few more days to buy memberships, upgrades or merchandise from our online shop - the store will close at midnight ACST on July 1st.
So if you've been holding off buying a ticket, or upgrading your supporting membership, NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO DO SO - head on over to our website shop now to make your purchase.
Note that there may be some merchandise for sale at the convention, but only what's left after all website orders have been taken into account. We only have a few t-shirts, coffee mugs and enamel pins remaining, and once they're gone, they're gone. (Scarves have already sold out).
Start saving those pennies! At our charity auction we will have many curiosities and oddities from near and far to delight every Discworld fan. From button badges to framed Discworld art. We have books, clothing, convention goodies from across the world, movie props and fan art. And all to raise valuable funds for our two charities: Bat Rescue SA and Writers SA.
Some of the amazing things you can bid on include:
And we've got almost a hundred more items for you to bid on - and it all goes to a good cause, so please be generous!
Are you maker or crafter of amazing Discworld objects? Did you know we have a Prop Competition at the convention? Whether it's The Luggage or an Iconograph Imp, we'd love to see what things you talented people have made. This is a wonderful chance to show of your skills without having to go up on stage. Read up on the Maskerade Prop Competition and enter on our website.
If you are the sort of person who isn't afraid to be on stage, then you can enter the Maskerade Costume Swish And Twirl if you've got a lovely costume to show off, or the Talent Quest if you want to perform a skit, song, dance or other entertaining act.
We've got trophies for the winners in all three categories!
Find out more about all three competitions and enter on our website.
Do you take pictures or make clickies? Is Otto Chriek your kindred spirit?
We're looking for volunteers to be part of our official Press Corpse. If you join, we'll ask you to take pictures and video of everything you can at the convention, with priority seating too. You don't need to have a fancy camera - but if you do, that's great!
Please fill in a volunteer form, and head along to the Press Corpse briefing at the convention
Have you had a look at our very long list of events and activities yet? There's so much to see and do that you can't do it all (unless you're a History Monk with a procrastinator).
Our timetable should be added to that website page soon, so keep your eye out there to get a little bit of advanced notice as to what's going to be on when.
Here are some quick reminder links about where to find out information about the convention:
