Ok, I've just been off to harass various people and here's the results. City Cyber Anime - will give everyone a 10% discount on everything. They will also hopefully be giving us a DVD every month or similar which we can add to our library/use for a showing (which is fab - and suggested by them). Travelling Man - will be giving a 10% discount on all manga. However, they have farted around and now reduced it to only 5% for DVDs. Yes I am pissed off, no, there is nothing I can do about it (the original 10% figure was giving by the lady who runs it, but the guy who owns it has different ideas). Forbidden Planet - (Update - still no idea). Japanic - Asahi beer is £2. J20s are £1.50 instead of £1.80ish. All discounts are dependent on production of an official Animesoc membership card, all shops have seen them so don't try to scam! Also, I've promised to advertise both anime companies as much as possible to our members, so I might be bringing flyers to meetings. If you do go, please tell them you were sent by Animesoc (it shows that we're doing our bit of the bargain). EDIT! - NEW SPONSORS www.tokyotoys.comis offering us a monthly £20 free gift (which will be given to a random animesocer every month) if we link to them and hand out flyers etc. I think this is a brilliant deal. If you buy anything off their site (and they seem reasonable) make sure you mention that Animesoc sent you there (they should be adding that to the list of people). Genki Gear "a new you.K based T-shirt company who use Japanese, Science fiction, Manga and Anime influences to create fresh new T-shirts which are fun and exciting to wear!" are offering 10% off for our members at the Comic, Card and Sci-Fi mart which is 28th Jan (this Sat, opens midday), all you have to do is mention Animesoc. So we've got you all these discounts - use them!!

Gah! I knew you would pick up on that! I actually argued with them about that (thinking of you, and Si with his comics) but they wouldn't budge. I was there while the nice guy spoke to the owner and he did his best for us. It appears Roleplay society get a discount on RPG stuff though ...but then you'd have to be a member of Roleplay Soc

I've been kinda afraid to ask for a discount at Japanic when I buy drinks... so it's safe to do so now? The T-shirts sound cool! It'll be the same design as on the cards, right?
Anyway, all this effort is much appreciated.

As far as I know, if you present your card when buying drinks you should get some kind of a discount. Also - I think the clothing would be the logo we already have, though it might be worth fiddling about a bit to get the coolest looking stuff

The cheep beer at japanic only works on society nights. I am in there as much as possible (forcing beer down my throat for the benifit of the society) "trying" to get it extended to other nights. Though a drunken Tony whining saying "Please give me cheap beer" doesnt seem to be working.
If prople try and go down as much as possible trying to get cheap beer and it not work they may eventually buckle though ;D
Im still working on forbidden planet btw

Is travelling man just on anime and manga (no other comics, magazines, figures)? Forbidden Planet always seem really stingy with prices anyway, although I hear the manager's leaving... Membership's £3.50 right? I'll be there nice and early on thursday

But perhaps if you were buying a combination of things they might? Also, the guy did mention that if people are spending a lot of money there they might be more...inclined to see if they could discount a tiddly bit, but that's certainly not official. And yes, it's £3.50 - bargain!

I heard one of the guys say at travelling man that there's now no discount on DVD's. Is this true? It's so expensive there anyway, it's esier to just get stuff off play.com or whatever.
