We've had reports that the restaurants in Resorts World are closed/fully booked.
If you were planning to head to Resorts World for dinner, and you haven't pre-booked, you will need to make alternative arrangements.
Update on Resorts World. They are experiencing issues with their water supply, which has meant a number of the restaurants have had to close.
If you were planning to head to Resorts World for dinner you may need to make alternative plans.
Don't forget that the main Fursuit Lounge closes after the last dance tonight. Anything left behind after this time will be moved to the Little Lounge.
Correction to earlier message: we will not be moving items to the Little Lounge.

The Main Fursuit Lounge closes at 3am.

Please remove all your items from the room before then!
Reminder: The Main Fursuit Lounge closes at the end of the last dance tonight (i.e. following Sable's set).

Anything left in the room after this is liable to be dealt with as Lost Property!
If you have left anything in the Main Fursuit Lounge please remove it IMMEDIATELY or it will be dealt with by ConOps as Lost Property.
If you are using one of the luggage trolleys, please return it when you've finished as there is a finite supply and other people need to use them.
The Closing Ceremony is about to begin. If you are not able to make it into our main stage (we are sorry, but capacity limits mean we can't squeeze all of you in!), then you can watch our Live Stream! https://confuzzled.tv/live.html

Note this program will NOT be on hotel TV. If you suffer issues with the hotel WiFi, we do apologise. It may be possible to try over mobile data.

F.E.R.R.E.T. was thwarted by B.A.D.G.E.R. but their last act of revenge ended everything. Now, those left behind must fight to survive. Hope endures, & rumours spread of a gathering to restore our world. ConFuzzled 2020, A World Reborn, 22-26th May, Hilton Birmingham Metropole!

If your journey home from the con involves the M6 , be aware that there are currently SEVERE DELAYS affecting BOTH carriageways due to an accident where the M6 Toll merges Southbound and a lorry shedding its load Northbound.
The Dead Dog Party has NOW STARTED in the Nightclub.

ALLERGY WARNING: May contain CHEESE
We too have noticed that your room signs have gone missing.
We too have had room signs go missing.
We are investigating this urgently.
We'll let you know more as soon as the investigation is completed.
In the meantime, we apologise for this, and will work to get it rectified.
It seems the missing door signs were accidentally removed by housekeeping. We're assured it's not because they secretly desire a swift return to normalcy.

If yours is missing, please check with the concierge. :)
Our current updated charity total: £29,028.60.

We challenged you to double the £12,000 they needed to rebuild, and we had no hesitation that you could do it.

We're so proud of all of you.
The Little Lounge (York) will close and start being torn down following the Dead Dog.

Anything left behind is liable to end up in Lost Property and you will need to pay the postage cost for its return!
Our feedback forms are NOW OPEN!
Whether it's praise, a complaint, or just a general idea. We want to hear it!

Our feedback form can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VJPZNKS
You can complete the form as many times as you like, for each area of the convention for which you might want to share feedback (this helps us get your feedback to the right people).

We also have a satisfaction survey for our venue, the Hilton Birmingham Metropole!
You'll find it here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VW8DLVH
Completing this will help us & the venue deliver the very best for you, and identify any areas for improvement!

Thank you for your time in completing these! :)
We're still open for feedback! If you have thoughts, comments, compliments or complaints, please read the above post on how to send it to us.
Also, don't forget the Hotel satisfaction survey too!

Thank you!
The next convention may still be a long way off - but we're already recruiting for next year!

Are you reasonably fit?
Do you like putting things in vans and taking them out again?
Do you like wearing high visibility clothing?
Do you want to help the convention whilst still having time to relax during it?
Are you available to help from Thursday 21st May to Wednesday 27th May?

If the answer to all of these questions is yes, you may be just the person we're looking for!

Falling within the realm of Support Services for the convention, Strike Force is primarily responsible for loading and unloading convention equipment at our storage locations and the venue and assisting other teams with initial setup of the event spaces. As such, the majority
of our work takes place before Opening Ceremonies and after Closing Ceremonies, leaving the rest of the convention free for you to relax.

We’ll provide the high visibility vests and gloves, but you’ll need to provide your own sturdy shoes or boots (safety toe caps are optional) and be reasonably fit. It’s not like competing in a marathon, but you will be on your feet for most of the day and some of the equipment has a mass exceeding 20kg (though we ensure at least two members of the team are involved in lifting the heavier items).

For your first year you'll be a volunteer on the team, which gives us a chance to see how well you work with the rest of the staff and crew, and you a chance to see if you enjoy helping out in the department you've offered to assist. If all goes well, you might be asked to join up to crew level for the following year.

If you’re interested in joining the team, fill out the application form and make sure to check the “Setup & Teardown Staff” box.
