I like Rob's idea of contacting University RPG clubs. Probably best to
try places in or fairly close to London, plus clubs further afield that
are known to be active. I'll try asking readers next issue - jog our
memories if we don't back to you on this, Harvey.

Not too keen on the whip-round idea for helpers, though it's a kind
thought. I'd argue that in principle any payments should come out of
general funds. However, the year we offered payment at Birmingham
almost all helpers turned it down on the grounds that they were glad to
help PBM - they get a free ticket, of course.

It won't hurt if GMs tell their most reliable players that they can get
a free ticket by volunteering. I need someone to run a bring and buy
event, but first I'll try the guy who suggested it last year (just too
late, sigh), to see if he'll do it.

Of course, it's natural for people to assume that everything happens
automatically. It's how we all cope. But a 'let's work together'
approach is more suitable for a PBM con. And I think it's more in line
with the spirit of the hobby.

Anyone know any free guest speakers?

Carol
