The ManorCon Committee
Let’s meet the ManorCon Committee
The Committee is a voluntary group made up of seven people. Everyone in The Committee provides their time alongside their day jobs as they are committed to make sure ManorCon continues to provide a safe board gaming space for all.
The Committee aims to provide a convention to provide;
- attendees the opportunity to play a wide variety of games and have fun.
- an enjoyable safe gaming environment for attendees.
- onsite bed and board for attendees at a low cost.
