Rules of Conduct

We have decided to add this as a general notice to all that are attending. :) Most of these are obvious, but for those who have never attended this will stop some Faux Paus.

-

The Venue that we are based in is part of a museum. As such it states in our T&Cs that no displays are to be touched or moved. As such we must enforce that no-one touches the displays.If anyone is found posing their dolls against items or moving them we will have to issue a warning, Repeat offenders may be asked to leave. We apologize for being so harsh but damage to the events will incur a very steep fine to the event, those who damaged the item will be asked to contribute if this happens. Of course, this also means we would never be able to hire the venue again. So I must stress this point.

-

Be friendly. If your opinion of someone’s choice of doll or lifestyle is different to yours do not start pressuring them into a debate. We wish for everyone to be welcome to the event and hostility will not be tolerated.

-

Be polite and ensure that you ask the owners of the dolls before you pick them up or move them, while many people will be happy for you to do this some may wish their dolls to remain unhandled.

-

Treat people how you wish to be treated. Do not do anything to another person or doll that you would not appreciate yourself.

-

Refrain from touching the faces of the dolls. Even if you have permission to move the doll touching the faces can cause damage to the paint and sealant. It is safer to just not touch the face at all. If you need hair moving out the way of the face ask the owner to do this as they will understand the risks.

-

Following that, please ensure you keep your hands clean. Grease, oils and liquids can transfer to the clothes and items in the event. Baby wipes will be kept at the event (just remember to never use baby wipes to clean a bit of dirt from a dolls face)

-

Keep an eye on your belongings and items at all times, The venue and the event are not responsible for any items that go missing or get damaged. It is your own responsibility to ensure you keep your belongings safe. We will have security and a cloakroom to assist in this but please keep valuables on your person.

-

Please keep your antics family friendly. Try to avoid overly sexual themes or positions when posing dolls. As this is a 7+ event it may be inappropriate for the other guests.

-

We will be holding lunch time at a designated time. Because of this we would like people to refrain from eating inside the room while events and demonstrations are happening. This is to keep the room tidy and safe while events are going on. Snacks and drinks will be provided for people to enjoy until dinner.
