Discworld conventions run on volunteers. All of the committee are volunteers, but we're only a small group and we will need additional help both before and at the convention! You can be anywhere in the world to help out, but there are some jobs which will need Sydney locals, and others which require you to attend the convention (of course!) The only requirement for volunteering is enthusiasm. The ability to find chocolate at any given moment is just a bonus! There are many different ways you can offer your time and skills. You can specify exactly what you'd like to be involved with or particular times you'll be available, either way all help is greatly appreciated. Some roles need specific skills, but many do not. We will send out more information on the volunteer roles that we are trying to fill, probably through our regular newsletter.
Convention volunteers are also (fondly) known as Gophers. During the convention, there will be volunteer briefings where you can learn what will be required and where you'll be asked to help, but we'll take all the pre-convention lock ins that we can. So fill in the form below today!
Please note that volunteering does NOT get you a free ticket - you will still need to purchase an attending member ticket. But you will be entitled to a warm feeling from having contributed to the success of the convention.
