AmeCon has ended for another year and the committee would like to thank everyone who attended over the weekend.
Some of the BeeTaggs used for the BeeTagg Bundle competition were able to be scanned, but due to mobile signal issues at Keele, they couldn’t redirect your mobile phones to the pages in question - making things a bit hard for those who wanted to enter.
However, help is at hand...

Hi everyone! Hope you had a belting time at AmeCon; it was certainly a ride and a half for us!
Just a quick note to let you know that the questions for the 2010 BeeTagg Bundle are now available for access. Some pretty cool stuff to be had as part of this here competition: we have some AmeCon-related gear, along with another box of Giant Pocky from CyberCandy and a copy of the two Death Note live-action movies on Blu-Ray, courtesy of 4Digital Media.

A first for AmeCon this year, we are delighted to announce two ShuttleBus services, exclusive and free to AmeCon attendees over the course of the AmeCon weekend, provided by Keele University Students Union (KUSU).
External Service
The external service is a 16 seater MiniBus running between Keele University and Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station during the day on Friday to collect attendees and their luggage and bring them directly to the AmeCon Registrations building. This service will also run vice versa on Monday to take attendees and their luggage back to Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station. Operating times: TBC.
Internal Service
There will also be a seperate MiniBus running internally on campus, transporting attendees between Registrations and on-site accomodation blocks on Friday and Monday. While the on-site accommodation is only a short walk away, attendees with heavy luggage and bulky cosplay items may wish to take advantage of the internal service after collecting their room keys during Registration. This service will repeat in reverse on Monday to collect attendees and their luggage from the accommodation blocks and drop them off outside the Registrations area, where attendees can connect to the external ShuttleBus (as above) back to Stoke-on-Trent Station.
KUSU have also offered to run a late-night MiniBus service, transporting attendees from the Student Union building to the accomodation blocks.
Please note that all ShuttleBus services operate on a first-come first-served basis and there may be a high demand during peak times.
