  1. Totally understandable and a very good idea. This is why I love the Stargate fandom, the generosity and thoughtfulness of its fans is only matched and even sometimes outweighed by that of it's actors.
  2. That's a very good idea, try and keep them smallish if you can because I'll be printing them out myself and printer ink is daylight robbery lol If anyone does want anything added to the book the deadline for submitting the entry on to this thread will be Tuesday 29th May 5pm gmt

  4. well poop! That's a shame but I'm really interested in what his new project is. Wishing him all the best with it and hope we get to see it here in the UK.
  5. OMG. OOOOOOOOMG! Seriously fantastic news! I loved his work on Primeval New World and Sanctuary as well as Stargate. Plus the man is funny with a capital FUN.
  6. Awesome news Claire, I always love looking through your collection. Personally I would love to see the Sactuary costumes too. see you soon xx
  7. I'd really like to see David Hewlett, David Nykl and Paul McGillion....oh wait! Yay! ;-)
  8. You could try and ring them up and ask to pay for your room now? However bear in mind this may negate your right to cancel before 4pm on the day etc you would have to check. I know the Park Inn always let me pay for my room before the event but I've never tried with the Hilton. If they do let you pay before hand make sure you get email confirmation or a receipt and they will still probably freeze £50 on your card on the weekend if you want room and out of hours bar service
  9. One problem i have had several times in the past at hotels is they freeze the amount of your room bill on your card when you check in. Then when you check out they take the amount for your room but the frozen amount is still frozen so in effect i had to have double the amount of the room charge on my card for it to go through and it has taken them days to unfreeze the amount they had on hold originally. This has happened to me about 3 times at different hotel chains.
  10. I can make that into a different game altogether. How about these to help you in your drinking game, although i shall not be held responsible for your drunken actions lol Everytime someone mentions a zmp Everytime someone metions wriath. Everytime someone mention Ancients. Everytime there is a shot of a puddle-jumper Everytime someone metions 'strange energy readings'
  11. This was on the Hilton Birmingham Metrapol website... Due to security measures in force at Birmingham Airport, we are no longer permitted to use our courtesy bus service direct to or from the airport. All hotel guests travelling from Birmingham Airport should use the free telephone at the airport meeting point (signposted with the Hilton logo) then take the mono rail to Birmingham International rail station where the shuttle bus will be able to collect passengers. The journey takes approximately five minutes and our courtesy bus runs every 30 minutes, 24 hours per day Traveling from Birmingham International Train Station By Courtesy Bus From Birmingham International railway station, guests may use the free telephone to arrange a collection to the hotel, by courtesy bus. The bus stop is Bus Stop C and located next to the taxi rank in the bus depot. The journey to the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel takes approximately 5 minutes. The 24-hour service runs at 30-minute intervals. Traveling from Birmingham New Street train station By Courtesy Bus From Birmingham International Train Station, free buses are available to take you directly to the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel. The journey normally takes around 10 minutes from the station to the hotel. If you are travelling from Birmingham Airport, please catch the free mono rail to the NEC Train station where you are able to take our courtesy bus. To book the bus, please use the yellow free phone which is situated approximately 10 yards to the left of WH Smith, near the train platform.
  12. Thank you, this is very sweet to offer. I think it's been pretty much decided that we'll go with Ophelia's idea. But maybe you can help with illustrations? Yep, i echo that thanks and the offer. I have indeed got the book: it is a spiral bound hard cover, each page is 150 gsm- so it's thick enough that people's messages shouldn't press or bleed through to the next page but nor is it too bulky. I will bind the front cover with a printed brickwall base paper and graffiti it (as Corin is a graffiti artist) with the title Chevron 8. It's a great idea to have illustrations to stick in and brighten and break-up the pages, it might be a good idea also to keep the size of them modest as there's possibly 1000+ people putting their messages in there too but at the end of the weekend any spaces could be filled with additional illustrations, or whatever anyone wanted to include? (dimensions of book are h 253mm x w 263mm x d 23mm)
  13. Don't worry, it will probably still be snowing lol
  14. Don't worry at all, i went to my first Chevron on my own and met some wonderful people who will be friends for life. Chevron cons are really friendly, if you get a gold ticket just attach yourself to a group at the cocktail party (they usually ask us to gather around in small groups of about 10) and you will be included and made welcome.
  15. It's between £7 and £15 (I've rounded up) for a glass of wine. I don't drink bitter or larger so don't really know about those prices.
  16. First drink on me :) You may want to retract that after you've seen the price of the hotel bar lol ;-)

  18. The book has got 50 pages and is just a little smaller than A4. I thought it best not to get one too big and cumbersome because it's got a long journey to make. Also it will be easier to read from. A photo of the convention audience could go on the inside cover, if we could get it done. I think the message book with a photo inside will make a nice gift.
  19. I could have a look around and see what i could find if you want? i'm sure i could get something and decorate it.
  20. I said it on Twitter so sorry for repeating myself, it's completely understandable and I'm sure Corin is in all our hearts and thoughts. I think, as others have suggested, It would be a wonderful idea if maybe we could get something for everyone, who wanted to, sign at Chevron so we can send it on to him somehow.
  21. Can we have some feed back please from Showmasters or Massive Events, even if it's just to say they're aware there is a problem and they're looking in to it?
  22. It sounds like quite a serious injury. He tweeted that he'd not be around for a while on Twitter. There's a thread about it here with more info http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79561
  23. That would be a great idea. It was a very serious accident and he lost more than half his blood, had to have life surgery and life saving transfusions. I don't care if he can't make the con to concentrate on recovery and getting well again, that's more important. There will be other cons.
