Gippsland Geekfest 2017 (still in Australia! still in Gippsland!)

[puddingwrestler]

Gippsland GeekFest will be held once more at Coal Creek in Korrumburra in 2017. But this time it will be held over TWO DAYS!
And the number of contests has increased!
There's still no official model making contest - but as one of the organisers, I will argue until my face changes to the colour of your choice to have any models entered into either the arts or crafts contests. Unless you make them from lego, there's a contest for that.
You can check out all the contests on the contest page!
Loud and rousing huzzahs!

Other stuff happening included:
Wargame figures paint and take
Cosplay
Board games, RPGs and card games
Vendors of various things, including, but not limited to food and those odd big-headed vinyl figures everyone seems to go mad for these days
Guest speakers
and other curious geeky thingees.

GeekFest is less than two months hence! Have an update! Have a flyer!

Foolish JPG with linky looking things you cannot click on...
Have some links!
THE WEBSITE IN QUESTION!
THE TICKET DEALERS IN QUESTION!
THE COAL CREEK WEBSITE IN QUESTION!

And now - WORDS!

There will be many amazing and geeky things!
Paint+Take!
Participation games of Everyone is John AND All Outta Bubblegum!
Collectible Card Gameage!
Cosplay!
Steamunk Cosplay (because the committee insists it's a different thing!)
Giant Toppollo!
Spectator RPGS in front of a live studio audience... in a church.
Vending... that would imply VENDORS!
Contests of SKILL and CRAFT such as:

• CAKE DECORATION!
• GEEKY ART!
• GEEKY CRAFT!
• LEGO!

The chance to meet PW and poke him with sticks! (warning: PW may take offence at this and violently insert fish into your most private orifices.)

My one regret is the Live Action Pacman didn't get off the ground. Nor did Live Action Godzilla... sigh.

Further GeekFest updates!
We've got an event schedule up (although it's not completely complete -still waiting on a few things to be confirmed and working out where to put it all), along with lists of traders, trebuchet engineers, swordmakers, and giant wooden game pieces! Huzzah!
Behold our bewilderingly enourmous event schedule image! Which is too big to fit on most websites! Shown here it it's shurnken, almost unreadable preview form. Check the web site for the ACTUALLY READABLE enourmous edition!

And remember - the Geek Craft contest covers model building! Unless you build it from lego, there's a seperate contest for that!
