Welcome to the Auchinawa 2008 Homepage!
Auchinawa is Scotland's largest convention dedicated to the celebration of Japanese animation and popular culture. We first ran in 2006 at the Quality Hotel, Glasgow, and this year will be running in the Holiday Inn, at Glasgow International Airport. For more information, have a look through the website, or sign up to our Forum to meet some of the lovely folk who'll be attending this year.
Announcements
5th March 2008 - Registrations FULL!
Hey guys 'n gals,
I'm very happy to announce that, only 9 days after opening, Auchinawa 2008 is now FULL. 300 of you lovely people have surprised the committee beyond our wildest expectations, and for that, we give you a hearty HELL YEAH!
For those who have already signed up, but are yet to pay, we will have to request that you ensure your payment reaches us by your specified pay date. Extensions will only be given under extenuating circumstances, in which case you should contact Registrations at:
registrations@auchinawa.org.uk
For those who have not managed to secure a place: fear not! Sign up on our Registrations Page, and you will be added to our Waiting List, and stand a chance to gain a place at Auchinawa as any cancellations or non-payments free up spaces on the Members List. For those who do make it onto the Members List, you will be contacted by email to let you know, and to remind you to send payment A.S.A.P.
So there you have it. Once again, a big thank you to everyone who has signed up so far, and we're looking forward to seeing you in November!

13th February 2008 - Registrations Opening Soon
Hey folks,
I'm proud to announce that Auchinawa will be opening registrations for the November 2008 convention on Monday the 25th of February.
Yes, I know, a bit later than the "beginning of January 2008" we stated previously, but we wanted to ensure that our registrants recieved the best possible service. As such, I am happy to report that we will be accepting payment both by cheque as usual, but also, following the stellar example of Amecon and Tokonatsu, you will be able to pay for your place with your credit/debit card, via the Google Checkout system!
Full details on how to pay will be announced with the opening of registrations, as well as terms and conditions, and details of accomodation. Places for Auchinawa 2008 will cost £40 for the full weekend, and we will hopefully be offering a discount rate to attendees who choose to stay with us at the Holiday Inn hotel.
So get saving folks, and we'll see you soon!

It's time to add a Scottish twist to Japanese fandom culture. The brainchild of a group of diehard Glaswegian anime fans who decided "Let's invite the Southerners up HERE for a change!", Auchinawa ran successfully for the first time in November of 2006, in the Quality Hotel, Glasgow, and have moved to the Holiday Inn for their second run. As well as the faithful anime favourites of the masquarade, dealers room, video screenings, and games room operated by the lovely folks at DDR:UK, we look forward to entertaining you with some uniquely Scottish events, in what promises to be a highlight of the 2008 convention calander.
