Our hopes for Gaelcon 33<\/a> changed as the news changed from week to week, but we have decided that we must have an online event. Various things influenced our decision:<\/p>\n We have two main threads of ideas for themes, and we need to pick one soon, but I\u2019m open to suggestions. Two strands were suggested: Resurrection\/Rebirth\/Renewal\/Renaissance and Gaelcon with some sort of digital\/online theme like Gaelcon-nected? Gaelcon Matrix, or Gaelcon Infinite. The VIP ticket holders lead on this choice, but your opinions and ideas are welcome.<\/p>\n I have some people already \u201cvolunteered\u201d for the committee, and I will be approaching some other folks, but I am open to offers of help with preparing the con, whether on the committee, as writers or simply as staff. I have a form here for folks who\u2019d like to get in the loop early, whether you want to help out form now, or just put a name down for helping on the weekend<\/a><\/p>\n In other news, the formal company registration to register the IGA as a Company Limited By Guarantee has been filed and accepted. Obviously, something which would in normal times have taken an hour in an office was stretched out over some time, and we have a few things to do yet like new bank accounts, but we will be able to have a genuinely open body with a wider membership. This wider membership means that we can move forward with more events and a broader range of things happening than we\u2019ve been able to do in the past with our limited committee.<\/p>\n Finally, if you want to stay in touch with the IGA Community, don\u2019t forget to Join our Discord<\/a><\/p>\n Mike Cosgrave<\/p>\n\n
