[Penguicon-Concom] A question from a member about a book to sell

[Molly de Blanc]

I would like to see a "we are not responsible for your children, should they
come." A lot of cons I've been to have rules to the effect of "your children
are your responsibility and are not allowed to participate in the convention
without your being there unless they have a badge of their own."

I like this method.

Is this a board or a con chair official decision though? And, if so, can we
push them to make it?

FY,
Molly

Only problem with that is we don't have an official policy on children
posted on the website any more. I for one wouldn't mind it becoming part of
an official disclaimer that people have to read before reg'ing but that is
not up to me.

In Steve Gutterman's year, he set forth the idea that we are not a
convention for children, and that although we don't forbid them, we
aren't claiming to be intended for them either. The policy at that
time (Penguicon 2) was that parents bring their children at their own
risk. If I recall correctly, that year didn't even charge for them to
be there, or allow children to register, they just showed up and were
officially unnoticed.

I don't remember the topic being mentioned since then.
