Hello everyone We are pleased to announce a new guest and rare signer. Sally Thomsett will complete our Railway Children line up. Sally will be attending both days. Dave Phillips

Hello everyone Just to clear this up. The only reason that we ever use the no posed photos rule is purely and simply that we want to get all the people through and have them get everything they want signed. We have never limited the amount of items you can have signed as this is after all first and foremost an autograph show. It is likely that Buzz and Gene Cernan will be extremely busy especially on saturday so if we need to limit or stop posed photos then we will do so but only if the queue warrants it. To be honest given the choice of a quick snap at a signing table or a special posed backdrop photo i know which i would rather have. This is why we have kept the cost down to what we feel is a reasonable price for a posed photo. Garry and i have put a lot of thought into the photo shoot this year and i do not think you will be dissapointed. Another reason for limiting the posed photo rule is that all these astronauts are now in their seventies and eighties and to keep standing up all the time for photos does tend to wear them out. One other factor that you also have to remember is that these guys have been to the moon and are not just one film wonders, so of course they tend to get asked much more in depth questions and they do like to chat so all this takes time and that might be o.k if you are number one in the queue but it is most decidedly not o.k if you are number 500 and something. So with all that said here are my tips if you want to meet Buzz, Gene or Alan Bean. 1/ Buy a gold pass and get a low number v.q ticket 2/ If you are coming on saturday or for both days go see all the other guests first and then get Buzz in the afternoon you can then use your low number to join the queue whenever you wish. 3/ If you really want a great picture with any of these 3 go order a ticket for the photo shoot or even better get yourself a ticket to the dinner and grab a great relaxed photo at the drinks reception. 4/ These guys are not getting any younger and i doubt you will see a line up like this again so get everything you need signed and grab all the photo ops you can. Garry and i know only too well to our cost that we waited too long to get Space legends Pete Conrad and Gordon Cooper don't make the same mistake we did. These guys are real Heroes so make sure you meet them before it is too late. Hope that clears up a few points for you all Dave Phillips
