    I appreciate the amazing wishful thinking on the part of some folks, but consider this:

    • Do you think enough people would come to make the event worthwhile?
    • Do you think the event would get insured?
    • What would be the optics of such an event going forward, even if it were permitted?

    And most importantly:

    • How many of the guests do you seriously think would fly over for this event?

    I can understand, for a lot of reasons, why SM haven't posted an update. But honestly, I don't think anyone's in any doubt about what's going to happen here. If I were you I'd call the hotel and make sure your booking is refundable.

    ^ This

    Thing is, is that not many people are able to get out of their homes due to this new rules that are going on starting tomorrow (i.e. pubs and salons are to be permenantly closed, resturants are staying open), and they're not allowed to go anywhere unless it's a specific reason i.e. hospital appointment, dentist appointment, working away from home etc.

     

    I think honestly you are correct, nobody from the US are gonna be willing to spend two weeks self isolating and then come to the comic con. Especially with what's going on over in America with the election (Trump-Pence vs Biden-Harris) and the whole "black lives matter" and crap going on still with protests. 

     

    Edit: Also, was told by my friend that her flight is gonna be cancelled tomorrow because of the new restriction rules put in place.

     I don't think you can reschedule it anyway as SM runs multiple events through out the year, they may be able to move guests to another event but as I see it if it can not go ahead it will be cancelled. and we can start planning for LFACC Summer 2021

    Apparently from what's going on is that anything massive event wise i.e. LFCC, Collectormania etc will not be back up and running until next year. I can't see the likes of pubs/clubs reopening quickly if they have to place the rules of COVID-19 in like 2 meters apart etc, I honestly can see everything media and stuff we do like cinemas, conventions, shows, pubs/clubs will be reopening not at least until 2021.

  3. Just a heads up peeps, dunno if you listened to the radio, but apparently the government has put a stricter procedure with people coming in from united states or anywhere else in the world that they MUST quarantine themselves for two weeks or face a £1000 fine if they do not.

    Sorry to hear that for you, but doesn't say anything about the future of the convention.

    July is still a long way to go and nobody can predict what will happen.

    Seems a bit premature for a hotel to cancel bookings up till 1st of August.

    Not really, it's just being careful just IN CASE the COVID-19 Virus hasn't gone away.

    Unfortunately this is likely to just be the beginning. Hard to believe that it's only 3 weeks since some of us were at LCC Spring. Seems a hundred life times ago so much has changed and is changing. Hope everyone and their family remains well. Keep strong.

    I have to agree, it's a shame but it's necessary completely.

    At least you still have a Tesco you can go to. :crying: The Supermarket here at work closed down for "renovations" without any sort of notice. So no lunch for me cause the new security checks didn't give me enough time to go elsewhere and I didn't bring anything thinking I'd grab something with the rest of the Shopping.

    I got a email from Asda last night about extended opening times for the elderly and vulnerable being at 6am as well as Tesco now are limiting how many items one person can have now due to the coronavirus pandemic as they've now removed all traces of their "multibuy" offers and telling everybody that they can only have one item such as hand sanitiser or one big pack of toilet paper etc per shop and not per person, which will make it easier for people to get them imo.

  7. Just a heads up to those who live in London, on the weekend, everything will be shut - shops, restuarants, bars, cinemas etc and public transport will be limited due to a complete lockdown. It's the same here in Ferryhill, we are in complete lockdown and cannot go anywhere unless it's necessary like shopping.

    I'll admit to being unsure exactly where The Master is in his regeneration cycle. So we have the Eric Robert master, who I dont think has the ability to regenerate, as he started as that slime snake thing and had to take over a paramedic's body. I'm not sure how he then ends up as Derek Jacobi in time for the Time War. The Jacobi Master has regained the ability to regenerate, as he regenerates into Simm on screen. The Simm Master allowed himself to die, and was burned alive, and was brought back to life by literal magic. We never see him regenerate into Missy, nor do we see Missy regenerate into the Dhawan Master. I don't think we'll ever get an answer on this to be honest. After all, there's at least 12 incarnations of the Master before Delgado that we haven't seen on screen, as the end of the Delgado Master's life was when he became the decayed Master we see in The Deadly Assassin.

    The Master had used up his entire regenerations. The Anthony Ainley Master was the result of The Master taking over Traken's body but it was not Time Lord compatible, so when the Daleks killed him, he turned into a snake and possessed the Eric Roberts character becoming The Master once again, however his ideas to usurp The Doctors five remaining Regenerations went wrong as he got thrown into the Eye of Harmony by The Doctor but then was resurrected by the Time Lords to fight in the Time War (Derek Jacobi's War Master) who ran to the end of the universe and became Professor YANA until the fob watch was opened, he was shot and regenerated into the Harold Saxton Master and then died as he refused to regenerate (which is one thing the time lords can do if they wish so), but then was resurrected once more in End Of Time by his cult, and disappeared into Gallifrey by taking on Rassilon in the way that he was helping The Doctor, he wasn't seen until his Missy incarnation and then again in his Harold Saxton incarnation where he gave a reason why he was still alive.

    So this new Master - Sacha Dhawan's Master is between Harold Saxton Incarnation and Missy.

    I'm with Queen on this one, there's a lot in there I liked, but there's an equal amount which I'm not too happy about.

    I'm giving Jodie another chance for next season. But I think Chibs needs to go quickly and hand it back to Russel T Davies or Moffatt at least
