How you can help PonyCon2010
As you are all probably aware Uk Ponycon is a non profit organisation run by a small group of volunteers.
For this reason we rely heavily on the kindness and generosity of the pony community to help bring you such a fun event year after year, at the same time as raising money for valuable charities. [/center]
With the convention fast approaching we just want to remind you of the various ways you can help Uk PonyCon be such a success
Donations
We are always on the look out for items to put on the convention stall, use as prizes for our various events and of course items for our extra special charity auction.
If you do have anything you would like to donate then please bring it along with you to convention, and someone at the con stall will be happy to help.
Likewise Convention staff will be wearing distinctive badges on both days so please feel free to approach any one of us.
If you do have an extra special something that you wish to donate or will not be attending the convention and would like to send your donation then please pm a member of staff and they will be happy to give you an address.
Please remember that not all donations need to be monetary or physical, There are plenty of other ways you can help such as.......
Volunteering
We are greatly in need of people to help for short periods of time during the main convention day on tasks such as - Selling prize draw tickets, Registering competition entries, Assisting panel presenters with setting up for their sessions and general setting up/tydying up of the venue. Whether you have a spare half an hour or even longer we appreciate any time you may be able to give us.
