Here's the final electronic communication to RQ Con Down Under Subbers:
SQUAWKINGS FROM QUACKFORD - THE ELECTRONIC VERSION Well, the big weekend fast approaches, and this is the final electronic communication before we see you all at the convention site, Bayswater Primary on the 19th-21st.
If you're playing in our monster freeform Home of the Bold, you should have received your character information and the rules electroncially over the past few days. I have also mailed out printed copies of everyone's character and the rules, plus the Rough Guide to Boldhome booklets. You should get these by the end of the week. If you have any queries about HotB, please contact John Hughes on (06) 288 0273 or by e-mail "nysalor_at_spirit.com".
Below is an invitation to our Registration Party, taking place on Thursday, 18th; and details about the convention dinner taking place during the Home of the Bold meal break on saturday night. In the snail mail posting I have included a map in case you're not sure where Bayswater is.
If you have items for the auction, please see Trevor Ackerly at the convention or speak to him now on (03) 9850-7479.
We are looking for a volunteer photographer for the con; please contact John Hughes at the addresses above.
A number of attenders still have not finalised their subscriptions (you know who you are!). Please pay the balance of your sub at Registration.
Don't forget your Trollball gear for Sunday!
We look forward to seeing you in a week or so!
Cheers,
MOB & John & Andrew

We greatly appreciate the school council's permission to use the Bayswater Primary for RQ Con Down Under. It is essential that all attenders keep the following rules in mind:
*Badges*
Please keep your registration badge on while at the con. If you
ain't wearing it, we'll assume you're on the school grounds for
some nefarious purpose other than roleplaying and we'll ask you to leave...
*Bricks and Mortar*
Please look after the convention venue, and keep out of areas that
are obviously out-of-bounds (eg. offices). Several hundred kids
will be descending on the school a week after, and we need the
school to be in tip-top shape for the little blighters.
*Smoking & Drinking*
Hey, this is a Primary School, and even though there'll be no kids
around at the time, smoking, consumption of alcohol and the
taking of weird, mind-bending drugs is not permitted by order
of the Directorate of School Education.
*Weapons*
...nope, although we encourage legitimate game props, eg.
inflatable toys, balloons, rubber chickens, plastic (ie. toy)
swords, and the like, particularly for Home of the Bold and
Live Action Trollball.
