Convention Staff
Convention Staff
The Irish Discworld Convention couldn't possibly run if it weren't for the dedication of the fans themselves. The whole event is run by volunteers. We've previously introduced you to the core committee, but please find below some of the selfless, silly, serious and sensational Staffers who will also be helping make IDWCon a reality. If you see any of the Con Staff running around looking stressed, give them a smile, as they've dedicated time and effort to creating a wonderful weekend for all.
If you have a specific area of interest or expertise and are interested in volunteering your time before or during the con, please email us at info@idwcon.org (all volunteers must be full members).
Sebastian Barwinek - Music Seb has performed at many IDWCon events, and last time was the ringleader in all the unofficial lobby singsongs, so we figured this time we may as well make it official. |
|
Chris Belcher - Invisible illnesses consultant We have a Green Dots programme, but not everyone has a visible physical difficulty. To make sure we cover all bases we picked someone to think outside the box. Shiv gave him a choice, honest she did… |
|
Méabh Browne - Dramatics Author of the amazing Murder Mystery from IDWCon 2015, Méabh always throws herself fully into scripting, acting and organising any and all theatrics. |
|
Kirstine Heald - Programme assistance Rob cannot be in two, or three, or four, or five places at once. But Kirstine often can, through some sort of quantum. Honestly, we’re not sure where she gets the energy, as even the amount of tea consumed shouldn’t mean dancing and Werewolf and acting all fitted in, and yet, she does it! |
|
Johan Spruijt - Swordmaster Our very popular swordfighting and dagger defence classes would not be possible without the skill and expertise of our very own Sam Vimes/John Keel impersonator. |
|
Tiko Ten Brink - Pointy things safety While our swordmaster is always very safety-conscious, you cannot have too many pairs of watchful eyes on a class involving weaponry, and nothing escapes Tiko. |
|
Sarah J Waters - Volunteer wrangler Gophers/Orangutans, Watch/Bledlows: anyone who’s helping us out at the con knows you need someone to tell you where to be and what to do when you get there, so Sarah (having basically done it last time unofficially) has been roped into doing it. After all, she’s the Orangutan Wrangler! |
|
Ken Cornhill - Tech advisor And last but not least, Ken, our incomparable Gaffer, who was head of Tech at many IDWCons past. Sadly personal commitments have made it impossible for him to attend in person this time round, but he'll still be rendering his invaluable advice, experience, and mysterious Tech wisdom from afar. |
