abidos Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi I'm interested in crewing at some of the events but am unfortunately a student with no money who has had to cut back on convention spending a lot since starting uni! I've read around but haven't seen anything to clarify how much of the expenses for travel and accomodation and such we're reimbursed for? Unfortunately I live in Scotland for most of the year so it costs a small fortune for me to get down to MK, London, etc. for most of the cons but I think it'd be great to be part of the crew for once rather than being an attendee! Also a little confused as to what information we're supposed to email? Do you guys want a full CV or just a quick summary of experience and such? Thanks!

Usually the exact payment is outlined in the crew e-mails, though the last few I've done are paid at £35 a full day, and half that for a half day; and £10 a day for the weekend conventions run by massive events. Hotel accommodation is provided BETWEEN working days, but any extra nights need to be paid for at the start of the con. Travel is not reimbursed. Hope that helps (and if any of that info is wrong, please do correct it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like I could probably scrape together just about enough money to cover the rest then from the sound of it. Thanks again for your help!

buffypurple12 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 What colour are the crew t-shirts? I want to make sure I don't clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKid197 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Same as they've been since 2008. ;p Very dark blue/black colour (with yellow writing) for crew, red for pit bosses (with yellow writing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrazyKid197 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 They did used to be (I didn't crew very long before they switched and have a collection in orange and the like!) but the one's you'd have seen at MK this year will be the one you get next weekend.

adam.anouer Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi Luke pleasure to meet you. I guess since I should introduce myself too. I'm Adam Anouer and I'm an Actor and Comedian in his early stages. I've been given the Honor of being able to crew at London Film and Comic Con which i am greatly looking forward to as I've always wanted to be part of something big with people who love what they do and i'm also looking forward to seeing some of you. I have a huge amount of energy, enthusiasm and random humor. Anyway if anyone would like to chat sometime or anytime i'll be glad too. P.S: Showmasters = Brilliant.

rainbow_tardis Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'd love to crew an event and I sent an email to crew@showmastersonline.com right after EMS 2011 but didn't hear back. I'd love to crew LFCC and EMS this year if possible! :) EMS was such a blast, I really wanna be a part of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to crew LFCC and EMS this year if possible! :) EMS was such a blast, I really wanna be a part of it! I'd recommend e-mailing again. Sometimes stuff gets deleted by accident so it's always worth sending a second one. You'll know when your e-mail has been picked up because you'll get a standard reply telling you that your name has been added to the crewing database. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarfbabe Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 rainbow-tardis, just so you know, the deadline for applying to crew LFCC has passed now. Invitations to apply to crew an event are usually sent out a couple of months before the event is due to take place. You mentioned specifically EMS so the e-mail for that one will probably go out early August. Too Tall usually posts on here when they've gone out. Just out of interest, are you on Facebook? If you are, there's a group for Showmasters Crew that you might want to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
