Registration now open for Sinpozium 2012

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Sinpozium is a go for 2012! It’s at the Y Hotel Hyde Park on Wentworth Avenue in Sydney, in the Mary Jane Barker B room (same as 2011) on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd June.

We hope it’ll be a great weekend of fannish fun and friends, with games, fandom pimps, discussions, vid watching and more. We will be starting to ask for volunteers/content suggestions very soon, along with posts for people looking for roommates, organising dinner on the Saturday night and a getting-to-know-each-other survey.

More information about the venue and about Sinpozium in general is available here. Please ask us if you’ve got any questions at all, either in the comments here (anon comments are welcome) or via sinpozium(at)gmail.com.

The short 2012 registration form is here, along with direct deposit payment information (please contact us if you wish to pay another way).

Registration cost is only $50 for the weekend (same as 2011, probably the only thing that hasn’t gone up in price this year!). Registration includes the hire of the venue and equipment, but not food or accommodation. Payment is required up-front, your registration will not be confirmed until we have received payment, and attendance numbers are limited to 35 people only. Full refunds will be available until May 15th. International attendees, please contact us at sinpozium(at)gmail.com to arrange payment.

We will be crossposting all admin posts to our Dreamwidth community.

One thing is different from last year – the date. Instead of being on the June long weekend, it’s on the weekend before that. This is for a couple of reasons - it’s a long weekend in NZ (and they’ve got further to travel, if they’re able to make it), availability of the function space, and hopefully airfares will be cheaper for those coming interstate (plus it seemed many of those travelling last year already went home on the Sunday night).

Please pimp Sinpozium to fannish friends who may be interested. We hope to see you all there!

*sigh* I would love to attend, but my thesis is due on June 8th. I look forward to seeing Sinpoz reports on my list by the time it's handed up though :)

But you'll totally have it completely finished a week or two early, right? *ducks for cover*

Good luck, and I'm sorry we won't see you this year.

You're coming!! [imploring expression] You can stay with me? No need to pay for a hotel room. I've got plenty of room, even a spare airbed.

As last year, I live in Petersham just twenty minutes by train or taxi from the venue, and I would be happy to host anyone coming from out of town who doesn't want to stay at the venue, if that helps anyone decide whether to register or not.
