| With ALCL proving so popular we have taken the decision to turn ALCL into a full-blown London Anime Convention! The amount of space which we will be hiring will be far more than previous ALCL events. You can view pictures of our new venue at the London Metropolitian University (Less than two minutes walk from Holloway Road Tube Station) here. ![]()
- We will be running a Cosplay Ball. Cosplayers and non-cosplayers will all be invited alike (though we recommend to cosplay to get into the spirit, and non-cosplayers will be subject to a no trainers/blue-jeans/messy-dress rule). - The price will be an unbeatable £6 if you pre-register and £8 on the day for all day. This price includes the cosplay ball. This is the lowest price we could make it. - For those that don't fancy the Cosplay Ball, downstairs in the bar will see WOTA London returning for more music and fun. Again, after 7pm. - We offer a discount £5 on the door if you arrive after 7pm. So, if you want to just attend for the Cosplay Ball, then you can just turn up after 7pm and get in for less. - Hostel for overnight accommodation will remain at the Dover Castle. While this is a slightly longer commute (about 25 minutes), to the venue and back, we unfortunately could not find any suitable accommodation near holloway road at a price which is reasonable. A bed will cost £39 for two nights stay (ie: £19.50 a night), which for London is a very good price indeed for holiday high season. However a very limited 54 places for overnight stay will be available, so make sure to book and pay early to avoid disappointment! - We will be looking to run another Cosplay Picnic on the Sunday, and a Friday event as well. (Quite possibly in it's own venue - stay tuned!) This will provide an entire weekend of entertainment to anime fans. |

| MEETS TO BE EXPANDED We shall be expanding our meet-structure over the next few months. Our plan is to cover every single region in the UK. As you may be aware, we already run a lot of meets (approximately 30 last year). The new plans will see over 50 meetups be run per year. Crucially the meets will happen regularly in EVERY region of the country. We have split the UK into seven regions - Scotland, North-East, North-West, Midlands, East-Anglia, Wales/South-West & London/South-East. Each region will have it's own head-organiser and up to six meetup organisers working underneath them. These regions will have a meet every two months - Scotland, North-East, North-West, East-Anglia and Wales/South-West These regions will have a meet every month - London/South-East and The Midlands Official Meetups will be designed to have between 15 to 50 people attending them. We also welcome people to create their own smaller unofficial meetups. COSPLAY PICNICS CONFIRMED AS REGULAR EVENTS On top of all this, we will also be running four free Cosplay Picnics per year in London, and cosplay picnics taking place elsewhere as well (such as the upcoming Cosplay Picnic event in conjunction with AniMedia-East in East-Anglia). We will also be running regular monthly clubs in both London and Birmingham. The next cosplay picnic for London will be announced within the next week. Expect it to be Easter-themed. ALCON AND ALCL EXPANDED Alcon is expanding to become a 700 person event, while ALCL will be expanded into a proper convention (while keeping the price very affordable) with a new far larger venue (think four times larger) shortly to be announced. MONEY MADE FROM OUR EVENTS ARE PUT BACK INTO OUR FREE MEETS AND EVENTS All of our cosplay picnics will have free food and drink (and are free entry), and we are looking toward doing other very fun events for anime fans as well. We can afford to do this thanks to our other larger events. AL is a non-profit making entity, so we always intend to give any money made back to the fans in subsequent events. WE'RE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS! JOIN OUR CREW! As part of our major expansion, we are looking for volunteers to help organise meets and events. If you have previously organised a meet/event or have an interest, please do get back to us! We are always looking for more people to bring into the fold, even if they're currently uninvolved with AL. MEETS TO BE PLACED ON THE ANIMELEAGUE MAIN-SITE In future we will be placing links to all of our meetups on the Animeleague Front-page located at www.animeleague.net under Upcoming Meets on the left-hand side. This will be regularly updated, so make sure to regularly check our main site (and hopefully forums as well - we're a very friendly and fun community) to see if there's a meetup coming up in your local area! Thanks All! ^_^ |

| We shortly will be moving Animeleague to a new larger server next month. When this happens, we'll have way more capacity than we will need. In light of this, if there's anyone who has an anime, manga, video gaming or cosplay related website or intends to make one, we can offer you free hosting from the end of March onward. No ads will be put on your site and we will not even ask you to promote Animeleague (that'd be your call - though we won't be able to provide forum hosting and sites which use very high amounts of bandwidth may not be doable). Our interest is in growing the anime fandom, which helps us all in turn - and that starts at the grassroots level with small anime news and information sites. Email us on info@animeleague.com if you are interested. Thanks all. The offer will remain open all year around, so there is no rush whatsoever to signup. |
