Still showing https://londonfilmandcomiccon.com/guest/ray-hassett-2/

When you come out of International station you simply turn right and you're at the NEC and then just follow the signs for the hall. When you get there the queues are usually self-evident.

Something to be aware of, if you're meaning a paid photoshoot when you say "photo" that the timetables of events are not released until a couple of weeks before and can take place any time from show open to show close. If you a look in the past events sections you'll see some previous timetables to give you an idea. You can get your hand stamped when you leave the hall which will allow you re-entry.

You have my sympathy regarding staying there. I did it last summer and let's just say between the staff and the bed bugs certainly not somewhere I'd be anxious to revisit!

As the team are are all at Exeter Comic Con this weekend I'd imagine it will be in the next day or two. If you're planning travel though work on the basis of them being any time between the opening hours, to be on safe side.

Have you checked the Pre-Order website ? http://www.showmasterssales.com/homepage/cat_1453729-Destination-Star-Trek-Birmingham.html

Bear in mind that Sheffield was this weekend so Jason wont have had any real time at base to turn everything around.

The majority of talks at smaller shows are general Q&As rather than the host asking all of the questions (LFCC has a mix of 100% hosting, 50:50 host/attendee questions and Mark Shepherd last year did a one man stand up routine for his talk with no questions asked at all). I prefer the open Q&A as for me it makes it feel more personable and interesting and being able to get an answer to a question that I feel is important to me and that perhaps others would also like to hear rather than questions that I may perhaps read in a magazine article.

What Raylenth said as beat me to it :-)

Do you mean you used the preorder service for your autograph?

I would give it a bit longer as it depends on the banking system as well. It does also need to be borne in mind that everyone has been at the venue for the greater part of the past week and there will still be the breaking down/emptying of the venue going on today and possibly tomorrow so staff may not necessarily be back in until Wednesday (or possibly tomorrow) to handle everything.

The refund will be back to your bank/credit card of how you made the payment in any event. There is no map that specifies where each individual guest sits no - there is only the floor plan indicating the actual signing areas which is posted in an earlier thread :0)

There's a reason they're called exclusives

From the website:

It is usually announced if a guest is doing a talk. Not all guests however do talks due to various reasons.

I'd imagine that refunds will start being processed within the next few days, if they havent started already, as they wouldnt be back in the office until yesterday at the earliest being in mind the hall had to be broken down and packed away etc etc.

I doubt anyone bar SM will be able to confirm that.

From reading the website it looks like it's just not been added yet rather than them having said that there will not be one for the event. There is a comment though of “other shops currently being updated” and with preparation for DST over in Germany this coming weekend may well just be a case of that it will be added at some point after this weekend. As it’s also a smaller show than the likes of DST and LFCC then the date you need to purchase/send in articles will probably be nearer to the event too.

No worries. I'd gone on the overnight coach from Bradford but I was also going for Virginia McKenna and Susan Hampshire. I can't remember what time I got there in relation to the 10am opening time but I think it was slightly after opening they'd put the notice on the front desk.

You didnt miss him - he cancelled on the day although cant remember why.

Taylor, you'll find a mod will whoosh this shortly but guest suggestions/who I'd like to meet etc all need to go in the guest suggestions thread.

If it wasnt going ahead there would've been an announcement to that effect. As you've already touched on it (and know) guests arent going to get announced by SM until contracts are signed.

You mean these details posted on the forum under upcoming events? Newcastle 2018

It's on here under the upcoming events as 8 and 9 September 2018.
