About Leeds
Leeds is situated in the centre of England in West Yorkshire. It has most major roads and train routes going through it and is pretty easy to get to from all across the country weather you are coming from Scotland or London. (There are direct trains from both) There are many local hotels at reasonable prices if staying overnight is an option.
Train fare varies for each place so be sure to check http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ for train times and information.

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.

Guests
Caroline / Iccheayo from Viridian House Faceups
Website : Viridian House Face ups
Iccheayo from Viridian House has kindly agreed to run the face up demonstration. Caroline, or Iccheayo is, in my opinion, the best UK based Face up artist and one of the best in the hobby. She has painted two of my dolls and the work is top notch so having her give us a workshop on how she paints her dolls is going to be great!
We will be providing her with a doll head to demonstrate on, and this will later go up for auction/ raffle with the proceeds going to charity.
So make sure to bring your paints and pastels and follow her examples on your own dolls! (MSC will not be allowed at the venue so ensure that all your spraying is done post con day)
You can view her face up portfolio>here<

The Photography Demonstration will be ran by Lucy, One of the most popular UK Doll Photographers. Popular for her beautiful dolls and great camera skills she has agreed to run a demonstration on how to take the best photographs of your dolls.
This workshop will cover the basics, such as the best angles, Lighting, composition and how to work with what you have. To the more advanced.
All you will need is your camera and a listening ear to find out the best ways to get those top notch photos of your dolls while avoiding the pit falls that a lot of doll owners fall into.

Welcome to the ROSADOLL blog
Welcome to the ROSADOLL blog. We will update this blog with all the information about the con and announce guests and sponsors as they arrive!
Registrations are closed for the moment, but watch this space for when they do!
Please browse around the site for more information.
What is ROSADOLL ABJD Convention?
ROSADOLL Convention is a large event based in Leeds with a focus on Asian Ball Jointed Dolls.
This is our first year in running but we have plenty of plans, many already in motion.
Unlike the usual doll meets throughout the UK this convention will place its focus on having structured events and competitions happening throughout the day for people to attend to and take part in.
These events will be aimed at people in all stages of the hobby, be you a newcomer wishing for tips and tricks on general care and maintenance to veterans wishing to pass on their knowledge on how to face up a doll. There will also be competitions with great prizes to be won and workshops to join in with.
We offer a friendly and relaxed environment with plenty to do and talk about with the events happening at planned times so you have plenty of time to see all the dolls and make new friends.
Due to space constraints and the convention being funded by the organisers there will be a small registration fee to cover the costs of the venue, and all the remainder money as well as money raised from the raffles and sponsored sales will go a community chosen charity. This year we have changed our chosen charity to donate money to the Japanese Tsunami relief. To help those devastated by the natural and man-made disasters in Japan recover.
Our overall aim is to create a large scale convention to celebrate the ABJD hobby that everyone is welcome to.
