Weapons Policy

No weapons, whether real, replica or home-made will be tolerated at the Convention, except as necessary for events.

All weapons and weapon-like objects must be checked-in with Ops as soon as you arrive at the Convention (you will be given a receipt). You can check them out for the event up to 10 minutes before it starts, but you must check it back in as soon as practically possible.

What constitutes a weapon is at the discretion of the Watch Commander, Head of Ops or Head of Programme. If you do not check in your weapon with Ops, or choose to ignore the decision of the Watch Commander, Head of Ops or Head of Programme, your Convention membership will be revoked, and you will be asked to leave the Convention.

If, at an event that allows the carrying and/or use of weapons, you behave in a manner deemed to be dangerous or threatening, you may be asked to leave the event by the presiding Watch officer. Failure to comply with this request will result in your Convention membership being revoked, and being asked to leave the Convention.

Privacy Policy

Information provided via membership applications, hotel bookings, etc. will be held on computer database and processed by the organisation. An example of processing would be the mailing of progress reports to the postal address provided. Members’ information will not be revealed to any third party unless required to do so by law, and will only be used for the purposes of organising the Convention.
