Frequently Asked Questions
Or stuff we couldn't fit into any section
I don't know a thing about Lights, can I still come?
Of course you can! But we'd recommend you take a look at the training videos on the ELF group (or hope onto one of our Zoom calls)/p>
Can I bring Children?
The ELF Mini is not setup for children, there are cables and components everywhere and there will be occasional adult language.
Can I donate something to the charity auction?
Yep, just email [email protected] with what you are bringing. Just note that anything donated all funds will be donated to our charity, please submit any donations by the 31st of August.
Why isn't it in Oxford anymore?
We took feedback from the previous events and the biggest issues were cost and location, so we've found a more cost effective venue in a more central location
