[UK] London Film and Comic Con - 18th/19th July

Quoting from our announcement in Community Central -

Quote:

Animeleague will be 100% supporting London Film & Comic Con, an annual event of 30,000 people that is now seeking to move into anime & manga in a serious way - in much the same manner that MCM Expo moved into the anime & manga arena a few years ago. It takes place at Earl's Court on the 18th and 19th of July.

We are delighted to announce that Team Dimension will be attending this event to run their Artist Ally, and that Animeleague Gamers will be running their Video Gaming. Manga Alliance will also be present, helping to expand anime and manga at their show.

Team Dimension, located at http://www.teamdimension.org specialise in teaching the creation of manga and comics to aspiring artists across the UK. Their Artist Ally will include panels and events such as the Iron Artist, Manga Creation, a Portfolio Workshop, and will feature guest artists from Dimensional Entertainment. Whether you wish to improve your artwork, show off your skills, or simply to have fun and draw with your friends in a relaxed environment, it is worth stopping by!

Meanwhile Animeleague Gamers, aims to bring video gaming to London Film and Comic Con in a major way. Whether your tastes involve DDRing, the more traditional fare of console gaming, or retro-gaming, there will be something to suit all video gamers alike. Throughout the day, AL Gamers will be running gaming tournaments that anyone can participate and have fun in.

London Film & Comic Con will also have a number of voice-actor guests present, which include Vic Mignogna and Spike Spencer. They will also be looking toward improving on their existing anime and manga events, which include the masquerade, screenings and various other activities which should interest fans of anime and manga.

We are very excited at this opportunity to help bring this event more into the anime and manga fandom. The last major expansion in anime and manga occured when MCM began to use their resources to develop the industry and fandom - by helping London Film & Comic Con, under Showmasters (which also includes the Collectormania events amongst others) to do the same, we expect to be able to massively move anime forward in the UK!

This is a chance to be present at something MAJOR which is now happening with anime and manga in this country. Should be pretty epic, guys.

I will be sorting out some accommodation for this, up to thirty places. If you want accomm, then simply sign up in this topic for the hostel stay here. Cost will be £34 for two nights (Fri/Sat), or £51 for three nights (Fri/Sat/Sun).

Entry to London Film and Comic Con is £5 for the day.

If accommodation becomes available then I'll come along, if not then I'll have to give this a pass.

This isn't a proper signup thread yet, moreso a place to register your interest in attending. I expect at least ten people will ask to have accomm, and so it will be available.
