So much for my fears! I had 3 new players, one seasoned roleplayer but new to PFRPG and one surprise player (who doesn't like the rules!)
We spent the entire session just playing some of the games - and they were useless. They couldn't throw a goblin, or hit the Sandpoint Devil. They DID win the Dragon Race. Only one managed to complete the Pie Relay - the female elf rogue was way in the lead until the last pie!
BUT. And it's a big but! The wizard decided to have a go at Pixie's Kiss. He got drunk (!) and started a fight. All hell broke loose until the druid cast Mist of Darkness and they made it out onto the street. Now they need to keep an eye out for the big guy whose nose they broke.
And that was only 11:30 on the first day. The speeches hadn't even begun.
But it was great fun! I used the games to introduce the new players to dice rolling and some of the checks and things they'll have to do in the "real" game. It was a great way to get a new group to work together.
We used iconic pre-gens for ease of play. But I'm sure before long they'll be creating their own character for the long haul or RotRL.
Thanks for all the suggestions and work done by previous posters. Our 1st session was a blast and I've got 3 new guys hopefully hooked.
Cheers!
