RISK WARNING

Injury can occur while a participant is attending SYDCON, engaging in, or watching, role-playing activities at SYDCON, or travelling to and from the Venues. The injury may result from the participant’s actions, the actions of others or equipment failure.

On some occasions, an injury can be serious (such as head injuries, dislocations, back injuries, concussion or broken bones). In very rare cases the injury can be life threatening or result in permanent disability. If a participant has a pre-existing injury, participating in a sporting activity could result in an exacerbation of that injury.

Participants could also suffer harm as a result of their personal property being lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.

WEAPONS, REAL OR OTHERWISE

To ensure the safety of all those attending SYDCON, SRGA maintains a strict weapons policy.

Anyone found to be possessing or using any weapon or replica that is prohibited by the Weapons Prohibition Act 1988 (NSW) will be immediately expelled from the convention without refund and will be reported to the police.

SMOKING

SYDCON is a smoke-free convention. There is no smoking allowed at any convention venues (except maybe the pub if they allow it).

ALCOHOL AND ILLICIT DRUGS

Alcohol and illicit drugs of any kind are strictly forbidden at the conventions venues (except drinks the pub).
