Needing help at ConFuzzled?

Head to Con-ops, or speak to any team member with a Welfare or Staff lanyard.

If con-ops is closed, the night staff are available up the nearby stairs.

You can also contact us on 07874002725 or telegram @CFzWelfare or contact us with non-urgent emails using security@confuzzled.org.uk

Art show & Auction pre-reg is now closed, but you can still submit items at the convention! Just bring them to the 'Warwick' room on Friday 26th May, between 2PM and 5PM!

JYMGO IS BACK and it needs YOUR help!

"If you've ever dreamed of hearing me read out something you've written at ConFuzzled in bingo call form, THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU.

Help me write bingo calls! PLEASE"

Hilton Residents: The Hilton Honors app on your smartphone can be used to access both self-service check-in, as well as the digital key feature for getting in to your hotel room!

Instructions for getting this setup can be found here: https://confuzzled.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/HH-Digital-Key-Communication-to-Guests.pdf

We've just sent all registered attendees two whole emails!

(Check it hasn't gone into your spam / junk / newsletter / 'other' folders)

First, our 'essential' email - lots of useful info, including things that might be different this year. It's a long one - but worth reading! Parking details, hotel information and much more! Didn't get it? No worries! You can see it here: https://mailchi.mp/326d13d72978/confuzzled-2023-essential-info

Then there's our email for those new to ConFuzzled. If you've never attended a convention before (or maybe you have, but you'd like to learn how things work at ConFuzzled), then this one is for you! You can access a web version here: https://mailchi.mp/b37c02b27f02/confuzzled-first-timer

Correction

The email address for security in the essential-email was incorrect.

The correct address is security@confuzzled.org.uk

UPDATE ON DIGITAL CHECK-IN / DIGITAL KEY:

We've been made aware that only one person can associate their Hilton Honors ID with the booking on two-person rooms.

This person is considered the 'Lead'. Once the lead has checked-in, and gained access to their digital key, they should then be able to 'share' the digital key access with their roomie, so that you then both can unlock the door with the app.

PHOTOSHOOT .... is going to be amazing!

This year they're only gonna let you create your OWN COMIC STRIPS!!!!

For real this one is fantastic and you should totally go read all about it here on the website: https://confuzzled.org.uk/photoshoot-2023/

PLUS: We highly recommend you join the dedicated announcement channel if you're planning on participating so you can get notified when bookings go live, and for other updates: https://t.me/cfzphotoshoot

HILTON CHECKOUT UPDATE

As some of you noted, in our ‘Essential Email’, we originally advised a check-out time for those staying in the Hilton of 10am. This has now been changed to the following:

• Checking out on 30th May: 11am
• Checking out on 31st May (Late Departure): 1030am

If you are requiring later check out, you can book this in advance by requesting it at the front desk. A fee of £10 per hour will be levied, and is subject to availability.

NOTE: If you check-out late anyway without booking this, you may find additional fees get levied. You may also find that your room key / digital key stops working after the check-out time (as outlined above) on your scheduled departure day if you have not pre-booked late check out.

Unfortunately there’s no way to request late check-out through the Hilton App (If you normally receive this as a membership benefit, we're afraid the Hilton are not able to extend this to you for your stay at ConFuzzled)

Late check-out will be subject to availability with the hotel.

Crowne Plaza check-out is 11am, and they also have a late departure option at £10 per hour.

Welfare Reminder!

If you take medications regularly, be sure to remember to have sufficient supply to last the duration of your time with us at ConFuzzled.

If you run out, arranging alternate supply might be tricky - check your stocks today and be sure to order your repeat prescription a little early if you need to!

Psst!

During the convention, the ConFuzzled Memorial Tree, and book of remembrance will be situated in the Library (Third Stage).

Outside of any events that run in this room, the library should be kept for quiet reflection, and to offer a space where you can remember those no longer with us.

Please feel free to enter your messages and pictures in our book of remembrance
