im ment to have one weekend in one weekend off and that worked amazingly well as it often fell on a con weekend but as of about two weeks ago and hitler state that i work for i still get the 'equivalent too' two weekend off a month .so that could be i do every weekend in one and non at all the next.

i have to book every single day off i defenatly want in advance, so say i wanted to book for lfcc next year 2010 i would have to have that booked in as soon as i knew the date, i always asume its the middle weekend.
if i want to go away for christmas i cant get one until 2011 as we already have 4 people on holdiay this year and there the same greedy gits that have booked next year to.

so in short my holidays look a bit like this ...

april ( im off to europe so im off a  as of the 6th till 5th may)
june 45678
july 16 for a week
i have the last weekend in august off for glasgow
and luckily twiglet 2 fell in a gap where no one had a holiday in or i would have been right stuck as i just booked up and hoped for the best.

everything else is just luck...

i tried to take lieu time on tues to go look at a flat ( they owe me a week) and they kicked up such a stinking fuss, as it had a knock on affect on the rota, ( it didnt but well yu know the powers that be that dont have anything better to do then sit in an office and dictate to the lower man.)

so in short lol , yeah dates are always apreciated as soon as possible, cause i have to orginise a heck of a lot of stuff.


sorry rant over can you tell its been a sore spot the last few days at work

Can I recommend the New Century Hall as a possible venue?  It's just the right size to try and 'reboot' the Manchester event, plus its well located - its right near Manchester Victoria rail and metrolink stations.

The potential for this event to grow is there, I just think if you manage to sell out a couple of events at the NCH, then its natural progression would be moving it back to the GMEX.

On a side note.... Hurry up showmasters and give us a date or confirm it's not happening!

Jason from SM has already posted on the previous page that Manchester 2009 isn't going to happen until the economy gets better, and at the mo it sucks

this is a hard year for most businesses in the UK and in till thing get a little better we will not be announcing a date for 2009

Manchester has always been a hard town to brake even on and we lost money at every event we ran there

we do still intend to run an event there this year so let see how the next few months work out

just thought i would keep you all in the loop

also, with the amount of events in Sept/Oct/Nov, don't know if it can realistically happen, it's too late now for anything in June and July already has LFaCC and August has Abrams Inc, Who Wars and Glasgow  

it's a shame but atleast there are soo many other events and conventions to go to (C15, BTL, Bad Wolf, LFaCC, Abrams, Who Wars, Glasgow this summer then C16 (October, though date unconfirmed) Twilght, Hub, Halloweedon and Chevron all before Christmas!!!! )
