Our AniMedia East Cosplay Easter event was held at The Griffin Pub in Norwich on Saturday 18th April and we raised money for two charities including Air Ambulance and E.A.C.H – totalling £116.01. I decided to dress up as Super Sonico for this meet, with a light blue 1950’s style cocktail dress and denim jacket! 

Throughout the day we had a gaming area with a Wii U set up with Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8, as well as the option of Just Dance. In addition we had the awesome AMV:UK running anime music videos for us (thanks to Sak!) and I baked some cupcakes for charity (om nom nom carrot cake catnip).

This meet was also special as we set up some tables for merchants, who sold anime goods, cute trinkets and art! Links to those businesses can be found on our website links page. Big thanks to Emily, Brittany and Sophie and Lizzy for bringing along their goodies.

Not only this, but we had a fun Easter Egg Hunt, which I drew up scattered around the pub with riddle clues I made up, with the ultimate find a big easter egg supplied by AMV:UK – runners up got mini eggs which me and fellow AE host Mark contributed to as well.

Later in the afternoon we held our second AniMedia East Quiz, run by quizmaster Mark while I helped and our winners won even more chocolate! This was followed by our group photo which can be found on our website!

Lastly, nearing the end of the day we had the mini Charity Auction with the proceeds split 50/50 between Air Ambulance and E.A.C.H, followed by some quick pub grub before heading home.

Our next meet is a Cosplay Picnic to be held on Saturday 13th June at Chapelfield Gardens in Norwich from 11am.
