Dont have cosplay but want to take part? Join the support crew
Welcome to the Support Crew
Welcome to the Senior Section of Ghostbusters Northern Ireland, where the love for cosplay transcends into a spirited community of giving and camaraderie. We are a dedicated group of individuals over 18, united by our passion for all things Ghostbusters and related fandoms. Our mission? To bring joy, entertainment, and a helping hand to those in need through our shared love of cosplay.
What do we do, you ask? Our activities are as diverse as our members. From meticulously crafting our costumes to embody our favorite characters, to ‘trooping’ at various events, we’re always on the move. We’re not just about looking the part; we’re about playing the part of community heroes, collecting funds for charity, and spreading smiles wherever we go.
But what if you’re new to the world of cosplay? Fear not! We’re here to guide you. If you’re eager to join but don’t have a full costume, we’ll help you navigate the vast universe of cosplay gear. We’ll point you in the right direction to ensure you’re event-ready in no time.
Our presence is felt far and wide, from showcasing our elaborate costumes at conventions like the Northern Ireland Comic Con to local charity events where every penny raised supports a noble cause. And let’s not forget our regular social gatherings, where friendships are forged and stories are shared. Here, in the Senior Section, you’re not just a member; you’re part of a family that’s always expanding, always welcoming.
So, if you’re over 18 and have a heart for Ghostbusters, charity, and community, come join us. Together, we’ll keep the spirit of giving alive, one proton pack at a time. Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters Northern Ireland!
do i need to dress up?
No, you don’t have to cosplay as a Ghostbuster, but you need to be Ghostbusters related. If you want to do a variant of a Ghostbuster, that’s ok, or if you want to cosplay as one of the characters from the Ghostbusters universe, that is ok also.
If you are wanting to cosplay as a villain, we do ask that it is a villain from the Ghostbusters universe.

One of the following flight suits is preferred if you are wanting to cosplay as a Ghostbuster…

do I have to do every event?
No, we do not ask our members to attend every trooping, con or social event.
We do ask for a minimum of one event every six months, however all circumstances are taken into account if this is not met.
How long till I officialy join?
All members are asked to take part in 3 events or socials before their application to join is approved.
This is to make sure that the potential member and the rest of the group are a good fit for each other and that everyone gets along.
Friendship is the core part of our group.
