Hi guys, I'm Andrew, also known as Saturn, the chairman of the B.U.C.K. committee. I'd like to address a few of your concerns. ​

Firstly, contrary to what was originally posted on UKoE (the one with the "con details" in it), we are NOT tryin ​

g to plan an event for April. That post was made in error and worded wrong by an over-enthusiastic member of our committee. We haven't really planned anything yet; that's why we're looking for committee members. ​

​

Secondly, we're planning for around the 150 mark at the moment, in terms of attendance, and even that is rather ambitious. Matthew: I have no idea where you got your number from, but it's wrong. Also, if you want to set up a smaller event in June for Manchester, get in contact with us; contrary to what you believe, we actually do know what we're doing, and would be happy to help. ​

​

Thirdly, the job requirements were intentionally vague. This is because we still need to work out the details, of both the actual convention and how responsibilities are going to be divided. This is the first event of its kind in the UK, and with new ventures you have to play it by ear some of the time. That's not to say we are going into this blindly, but we don't have any previous data to go on. Also, we are in contact with people who have local knowledge, and I used to live in Manchester myself. There is a lot of planning going into this, and we're well aware of the information and experience we need in order to pull this off. ​

​

Anyhoos, I hope this has answered some questions and doubts. I really regret the fact that the original UKoE post has made us seem unprofessional and unprepared. That shouldn't have gone up there; treat that as non-information. The post about recruitment, however, is completely relevant, and we're looking for talented and organised people to help us put on a fabulous, splediforous brony event. If you're interested, please get in touch! ​

​

Love and hugs, ​

Saturn ​
