Hi @TheChillMethod and @shoutoperry you should create your own intro threads and join our icebreaker. @TheChillMethod I've organised a buddy for you

[MrMurphseeksLAM]

Hiya @TheChillMethod and welcome to AL. The Manchester Con is usually one of our top events across the year so you'll get a lot of gaming and anime in there especially. There's an AL meetup happening in Manchester on the 24th before the event too, so if you have Facebook, be sure to look out for it. All the best with your manga, that's some multitasking mastery you have there!

Howdy @shoutoperry another drawer! So many talents coming to our AL shores. Welcome aboard. The Norwich events are some of the newer cons on the calendar but there's high demand, so expect plenty of things going on there this year too.


Everybody feel free to create your own intros as Gemz recommended, or check out the ongoing Icebreaker event we're running if you want to ask any questions you like and get to meet other new members too. https://www.animeleague.net/forum/sh...day-Icebreaker

And don't hesitate to pop any of the team a message if you need any help with the forums or any AL queries. Have fun!
