UK PonyCon still needs volunteers! · 4:33pm Aug 28th, 2018
UK PonyCon is the largest MLP convention in Britain, and this year it's on 13-14 October in Nottingham. One thing cons always need is help, and that goes beyond just the committee. Volunteers are always welcome -- in fact, without sufficient volunteers, some events simply can't happen. Even if you can only spare a few hours, that's still valuable! You'll generally need to be 18 or over and to have bought a convention ticket. (For the benefit of overseas readers, yes, this is standard practice for UKPC over here.)
Perhaps you can help with Events, Operations, Merchandise or Registration? There's also always a need for people to help with setting up on Friday evening and takedown after the con closes on Sunday evening. Many roles need no previous experience or special skills, but if you do have particular abilities that may be relevant, you can say so on the application form. Volunteers will get a couple of bonuses: Friday evening pre-registration, so you can walk straight in on Saturday morning; and access to the committee room with quiet spaces and refreshments.
Here's the con's volunteering page, which gives some more details.
Note: I am not affiliated with UK PonyCon except (I hope) as an attendee. This post is made in a personal capacity only. My particular circumstances mean I am not able to volunteer this year, so I wanted to at least do some signal boosting. If you're in the UK or have readers who are, further signal boosting in appropriate places would be great.
