And here we have it.

Costing for the entire weekend: R1200pp sharing 2 people per room.

Date: 1-3 July 2016

Venue: University of Freestate - Bloemfontein

Please note: Transport is not included in any of these arrangements. These will be your own. Many furs from around the country will be coming and internal arrangements can be made. We can help as far as notifying which furs from which areas will be going so that sufficient carpools etc. can be arranged.

We also have a sponsorship by level arrangement: R1200 for the con as an attendee, R1600 as a sponsor - certain perks come with this level of arrangement and super sponsor R2000 - Perks from sponsor as well as added perks for being a super sponsor apply here. These perks will be decided within the month, pending some arrangements.

(these costs may vary depending on living arrangements of which we will keep open for those who don't want to sleep in the provided areas.) I will also draw up an excel spreadsheet tomorrow to show how the cost breakdown will look. The R1200 is all inclusive. Living arrangements and meals. (A portion also goes to venue hire.)

Busy being done:

south-afrifur.co.za - will be up and running within the month, here we will have a good breakdown of living arrangements, other arrangements as well as venue pictures and what can be expected at the con. (activities, guests of honour and so on.)

We have also started the process of creating an NPO for The South Afrifur Convention where we will be able to control any and all monetary income and expenditure as well as deal with any queries within the fandom.

This NPO requires a Directorate of 5 people of which will be the following:

Acting Chairman: Ivic

Valerion

Yukon

Inpw

Scratch

Each of us has an equal vote and there are no veto rights within the directorate at present. We will meet once or twice a month as deemed necessary to deal with any issues or suggestions in respect to the con. After a particular issue has been voted on, the vote is final and we will notify you.

Please also note that for now, any queries or complaints can be sent to the following email address: southafrifur@gmail.com we will note them and either get back to you asap or hold until a formal decision has been reached.

Those of you who are interested in helping in any way in respect to the con, please also send your information to the above-mentioned email and what you would be willing to assist with during the con. I have already spoken to a few furs in respect to this, if you have been approached, we know who you are. :D

We are also, along with the set up of the NPO, going to set up a donation drive in respect to the convention. This drive will be subject to added incentives for donations that will be determined within this month.

Please note that the set up of the NPO may take a small amount of time and only after that has been completed, will we decide on payment methods and sundry.

I can probably help with transport or a place to stay, provided I get a job here in Bloemfontein. Otherwise I'll be gone by that date. Will definitely like to go though so we'll see what happens closer to that date.

In terms of latitude, going up. In terms of elevation, going up.
Good luck getting all the way to Bloem in a ship though! :lol:

Just a quick question, when is the latest one can book for the con?
For the most part, it is pointless to be sad in life.
Because sad spelt backwards is das
And das not good

Anyone know where to find the spreadsheet? As much as I want to I won't be able to sleep in the hostels due to my partner coming with me. :|
