  1. I think everyone isn't understanding with TimDavidHunt is saying, he is merely expressing his opinion, he's not saying that he was forced into getting the diamond pass, it may be a complaint/constructive criticism, and that is totally fine, he's trying to make LFCC aware of what he believes, and he's right, he's not breaking any rules, he's merely voicing his matters, I do not understand where everyone else is coming from when they say, "No-one's forcing you to pay it", have you ever gone in a shop and look at a T-shirt that looks nice and see the price tag and think "that's not really worth it" or buy a T-shirt and think "oh that's not worth it",  he just wants it to be fairer, and I understand him, I personally agree with him...

  2. My two favourite guest experiences of the weekend: (price, FREE) I bumped into two doctor who youtubers, Ben Letts (The Host productions) and Gallifrey Forever 97, yhey were so kind and considerate with their time, giving me free autographs and photos and hugs, not a quick, usual guest experience, they were so kind and the cheapest (and most unofficial) guests of the whole weekend! :wub:

    That’s a tad harsh Dr.1963. The gifts in the past have been lower quality than this year so it is a vast improvement as everyone else is saying. Last year I had several passes (about 4) that were all travel mugs. Some are just a3 prints that I am also not interested in. They gifts are just little extras that are (for most people anyway) not considered that important a part of the package. I have some that the gifts were forgotten about soon after and I couldn’t tell you what they were but the memory of the photoshoot and obtaining the autograph in a stress free way are still clear as day.

    I would tell you the reason why I was 'harsh' Ravogd, except, what I would post why I was angry, would be against the forums' rules...

    Yeah, at most someone could have the thought, but it's not their business about what someone's disability is, and it should therefore stay as that. Far as I'm concerned, if someone asks if an extra help can be fitted in in front of me, go for it!

    Oh, don't you worry, I know everyone around me was crazy! :lol: Yeah, I've only put 2 and 2 together and thought it was you from your profile pic. At least it was another face from here I seen, even if I didn't realise it was you. lol

    Wjbleming, were you at the Jenna Coleman AM photoshoot on Sat, I think I spotted you?

    Worth remembering that Jenna wasn’t originally on a diamond pass so there may not have been time to get an additional specific gift made

    She was upgraded around 29th May, plenty of time to organise something and as for JB bag, cheap quality, no excuse there, no exduse for either of them...

  6. I had both Jenna Coleman and Bernard Cribbins DP and the gift was the same for each: a TARDIS power bank, was not happy with that, Sjowmasters definitely need to put more effort into this, espically since they're both in Doctor Who and a LOT I know who went to the convention had BOTH of these DPs, the John Barrowman DP gift was alright but the quality is cheap and tacky, the material used is very low quality and the bag you get with ANY gift, the velcro came off after use,come on Showmasters...

    Having seen dysfunctional behaviour such as tthe above in previous years, my vote would be to move to a sealed bid type of auction.

    Post your bid on a folded piece of paper into a sealed box. Bids are opened at close of auction, highest bid wins. 

    No pen stealing, no  sheet hogging, no opportunity for people to start hitting each other over the head with clipboards like a fish-slapping dance. 

    That sounds like a brilliant idea! :thumbup: (acknowledge this, Showmasters!)

    I didn't meet him at this event but he was brilliant at the spring event. :thumbup:

    I use a walking stick to get around and once I was allowed to pose for my and Bernard's photo, he saw my stick snd went, "Oh...you've brought your stick, have you?" and he swiped my stick and pretended to play the violin with my stick and done all the noises, my FAV photo of ALL TIME!!! :thumbup:

    Would the old method be better where at 3pm they go through all the items and anyone who is at the auction can verbally bid if they want to pay more than the bid as per the sheet? 

    Yes, at the last five minutes, it should then change to a normal auction to give everyone a fair chance.

  10. So...I loved the silent auction from LFCC Spring, an ingenius idea and better than a normal auction but there are some flaws:

    • One woman on Sat was holding the only pen closest to me until it was 3pm (over.) 
    • There needs to be more crowd control or a longer table to give everyone a fair chance.
    • One of the women on the table was incredibly rude to me and my carer with a very rude attitude.
    • You need to space out the pages so that at 14:59, you're not flicking through pages with ten seconds left.
    • You need more staff there ro check that nobody's cheating, which most were....

    And....

    PENS!!!!!!!
