We feel that as the calender is very full at the end and beginning of the year we are going this show to the summer months when we will have more time to devote to it and also give fans from all around the country another event to go to at this time of year. This way we can bring in bigger names and make the event grow faster, as well as taking the pressure off the other shows in March and November to get more guests to those shows as well, allowing all the shows to improve and grow.
The date for the summer Manchester show will be announced later this year. We hope you understand why we are doing this and see that it's the best way to make the event even bigger and better, and we look forward to seeing you next summer.

I'm choosing to look at this as a postive, the last Collectormania Manchester, though how much I enjoyed it and had a great time, just didn't seem to have the same calibre of guests of other Showmasters events.

i think its better that way having it in the summer because i don't like spending money right before the christmas period. can't wait for next summer
i know this may sound like a dumb question, but does this mean the nevember event is cancelled?

*scratches head* The calendar is more full at the end of the year because you added a Glasgow event...
Oh well. I can't make it to Glasgow, so that's money saved for me I suppose Possibly two shows worth saved, cause I have no money in summer, LOL, so I guess I'll either not attend or just crew and not get anything 
I'd hazard a guess that students are going to have a problem - they get their loan in April then in September, so by late summer (I assume it'll be August, since LFCC is in July?)they have no money...

I personally would have chosen an alternate time for Manchester, if you put it too close to LFACC for example, you'll get all the big guests going to that, causing this event to get neglected once again.
And on the chance that didn't happen, if you put them within the same month, people simply won't have the money for one or the other.

If Glasgow has been more successful, then surely it's a sensible decision for the organisers to do more there?
I know it's a shame if Manchester is your local one, but if it's not been as successful for them then the sensible thing to do is change things.
I say give the summer one a chance next year and see what happens
