Gareth Kavanagh

Gareth - Co-Chairperson and programming

Gareth  has been involved in fandom for a 'short' time. In that time
he has founded a college society in NUI Maynooth, being involved in
the running of the gaming convention Dominicon, and on the Committee
of P-con. He also likes Science Fiction and Fantasy, but is too afraid
to actually watch/read horror!

 

 


 

Finn

Finn - Treasurer

Finn has been interested in fantasy fiction from a young age. As an avid reader of Irish mythology, she devoured books by authors such as Michael Scott, David Eddings and Terry Brooks. In recent years her reading taste has moved more towards the shades of grey fantasy fiction of George RR Martin, Robin Hobb, Pat Rothfus and Scott Lynch among others.
She has also explored other elements of geekdom including Magic: The Gathering, L.A.R.P. (Mostly Vampire the Masquerade but also Call of Cthulhu), and generaly tabletop gaming.
 
She is a new and very excited member of the convention committee

Bill

Bill - College Liason

Bill has been a science fiction fan since birth, and to this day enjoys consuming science fiction in its various literary, visual, musical and playable forms. He attended his first Octocon last year. He is studying music in Dublin.

Danielle - Website Content Editor and Communications Officer
