ALCON 2010 IS GO! ANIMELEAGUE'S EVENT OF THE YEAR!

Alcon is a fun and friendly 700-person anime convention running from Thursday 9th - Sunday 12th September 2010 at De Montfort University in Leicester. We have everything from an anime night-club, companies to buy anime goodies from, screenings of the latest anime, a bar, artists alley, cosplay cafe, DDRing, a J-Culture room, Cosplay Hangout, roleplaying, Card Gaming and much much more. It's a four day event and all for just £25. On site accommodation at £24 a night is also available. You can go check it out and register for the event at http://www.alcon.org.uk (18+ only) You won't have to pay until the end of April.

We have over FIFTY events planned over the four-days. To name a few -

VAMPIRES v NINJA v MECHA v PIRATES

Four almighty clans line up. Only ONE will win that ellusive Alcon trophy (rumored to contain the convention's soul)! Will it be those sneaky ninjas, those wicked vamps, those manic mecha, or those pesky pirates? YOU, the member, shall decide! When you register you pick your clan! You are then in that clan, and can earn points for them over the convention to help them toward victory! Points are calculated by who wins events, who helps out, and so forth! Your conbadge will reflect which clan you are in.
