I'm sure I'll think of something clever to say when I've picked my jaw up off the floor!
Outstanding work Dave, can't believe you've managed to get him again!

Hmmm.. could have an interesting reaction to the 'not quite 1-time only' claim last time.
Same price as before, to keep those of us who coughed up last time relatively pacified? :)

Outstanding that you guys have managed to get the General to return again! 
Hopefully this announcement will open the floodgates for a few more big space names over the coming weeks.
Any chance of a talk this time as it would be extremely popular?

Hello everyone
As this all happened so fast we are still in the process of negotiating the signing fee.
Although as this is most certainly the Generals last ever appearance abroad (Really i am not making this up)
That,s straight from him. The basic signing fee will be much reduced for this one time only. I am yet to confirm the final price but from what we have discussed so far the basic fee will be less.
I figured you guys would rather see him one last time and a lot of you missed out on his first appearance.
I am sure this will cause endless debate amongst the people who attended last time but overall it will be worth it to meet a man who has flown in space 4 times on historic missions.
More details and prices as i have them

Dave & Team,
Very well done on this. You guys must have amazing powers of persuasion.
I notice that the ASF Show in November have General Stafford as a guest, but strictly non signing.
So, kudos to you all.

Thats fantastic on the reduction.
I hope everyone will understand that it means more people (like me) can meet him, and as Dave pointed out it will be the last time.
Thank you so so much

180 GBP a time, but was in aid of the ASF, which considering he didn't sign for them at their own event... could be puzzling.. :)

Don't recall.
I think were Jim McDivitt to be announced, I know at least one of Jim's Drinking Buddies will be in a right quandry for dinner..
He was in McD's drinking team last time, and dined with the General (naturally) the time before.. LOL
He'd be stuck between the General and Ed now....

Thanks Dave - I'm very glad to hear the signing fee will be coming down!
Perhaps this time I will get one from him - and a lecture would indeed be great..

Dave, as someone who paid the higher fee last time I will be delighted if you can negotiate a lower fee this time round. I've been spending all day trying to decide if I can really justify another £175, but a lower fee would mean I would almost certainly get something signed.

Photoshoot was no more than £25 but there wasn't a talk last time. I wouldn't want to talk out of turn but I don't think his health is the greatest so a talk might be a bit too much.

A pure speculation post......
I recall overhearing someone at the last show saying something about Tom's fee last time round included a '£100 donation to his museum' or something to that effect. Now that might be complete cobblers, but if not then we might be looking at something like £70 this time?
Like I say, this is just throwing a fag up a windy street....
Cheers

Sorry Dave that wasn't meant as a hassle post to let us know the price, just to say that I won't be grumbling that it is lower than last time!
