hi! im disabled and have to use a wheelchair or mobility scooter to get around. im curious about the safety of using a electric mobility scooter inside the convention and if there is enough viable space in-between tables and activities to use it. i wouldnt want to cause an accident or hurt and damage anything if i attended. i dont have much con experience so im very unsure about how things are disability wise.

I'm disabled myself, and have been attending the Sheffield event for the last 3 years.

Don't get me wrong the Mercure Hotel's nice, but it's not very accessible even though there's lifts, all the main events of the AL con are downstairs, which obviously limits accessibility for such as yourself and Wheelchair users, not everyone feels safe coming down in the Lift, and for obvious reasons they can't use the Stairs.

@Likklemel would there be any updates on this from Admin? Or even @Ojisama?
