I, too, hope Hub can be resurrected perhaps in a couple of years. I made it to all but two of the Hub conventions (sadly missing Hub8), and considering I had to fly across the Atlantic to do so, that's no small feat! The Hub has been some of my best weekends EVER. I agree it needs to go on hiatus but I hope The Hub comes back someday. (Hopefully at the Park Inn in Northampton, my favorite venue.)

Very exciting guest announcement! She wrote some of my favorites too. You really are trying to entice me to cross the Atlantic again! :-)
-
I got my letter -- Silver 29!!!
I've been to every Hub except 4.
-
I'd love to meet her too.
-
I would love to meet him too.
-
Room booked!
Though I had to phone them from the US, but it was pretty quick and she even sent me email confirmation without my having to ask for it. -
I'd love to see Eve at Hub7 too. I've only met her once (at Hub2) and it was all too brief. She's a lovely guest.

In 1997 I attended a Babylon 5 con at the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool, and I believe 3.500 people attended over 4 days. How's that?
i was there
Remember the fake Season 4 script?
I was there too! It was my first time in the UK. And yes I remember that script! :-)

I had an excellent time at Hub6. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. And I loved all the guests. The thing I learned at Hub6: we don't have to have big-name guests (or main character guests) to have a great convention. All the guests were terrific!

I've got Standard 057.
-
Out of Time is one of my favorite episodes, so I'm excited to meet her. And I had no idea she was reprising her role in TW: Miracle Day. Fantastic!!!
-
Burn would help motivate me to buy my ticket. I'd love to see him again. And hes, he gives great hugs! :-)
-
Silver 26!!!

*will be very disappointed in SM if they don't schedule a talk with him and Caroline*
I agree. I want to hear Gareth say "Lisa" to her (in that special way he says "Lisa"!)

I love the Hub events -- some of the best weekends of my life, and I've made wonderful friends there. But I just couldn't continue to cross the Atlantic twice a year for it, so I reluctantly missed Hub4, which I hear was brilliant! And part of why I skipped Hub4 was that I knew there would be a Hub5 just 6 months later. If Hub4 had been the only Torchwood con for the entire year I'd have made it a top priority to be there.
It's not just the money for me - it's also the vacation time (which is limited of course) and the exhaustion of the transatlantic flights, etc.
Like others, I'm also concerned about the fandom dwindling because the show is no longer in production. However I like the idea of an annual reunion for both the fans and the actors. Other shows have done it. Here in the US, for example, Dark Shadows still has a well-attended annual convention and that show has been off the air for decades!
-
Hard choices! Ok, here's my list (excluding the obvious ones who I ALWAYS want to see at Hub conventions)
Louise Delamere
Bryan Dick
Ruth Jones
James Moran
Freema Agyeman
-
John Barrowman
Burn Gorman
Naoko Mori
Louise Delamere
Matt Rippy
I can't really think of a sixth person (other than expensive guests like Ruth Jones) so maybe a behind-the-scenes person like that Weevil guy, or maybe one of the writers?

It's not viewable. It doesn't show up in the list of "upcoming events" and the Hub4 page points to the Hub3 forum. I only managed to find this because there was a link in the Hub3 forum to this one, in one of the comments, and I had to be logged in to see this page. I still can't navigate here from the list of upcoming events, even when logged in. So the problem (as of December 5) hasn't been fixed.
-
Code's not working for me. I get "We are sorry, there is no availability for the promotion code you entered." and only offers of really scary prices. I hope this gets sorted soon! Thanks.

I've just read through 8 pages of feedback so I won't repeat what's already been suggested or griped about. I had a fantastic time at Hub2. I'm so impressed by how smoothly it ran, and by the positive changes made based on suggestions here at the forum. It was great to have the schedules provided in the packets, the big schedules on the walls, the much improved bag-drop-off during photo shoots, the raffles to give those of us who don't have a lot of money a chance for an "intimate encounter", the Torchwood themed drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic (thank you for having a non-alcoholic version!) The theme parties were amazing especially saturday night.
I have only one suggestion to add, since no one else has mentioned it: at the sunday night party, the music is way too loud. I'm guessing it's at the same volume as both friday and saturday night, but since there are far fewer people who stay for the sunday night party, there just aren't enough people in the room to absorb the sounds. I had the same problem at the first Hub convention: I really wanted to dance but the music was so deafening sunday night I couldn't be in the room! (I'd have requested to have the volume lowered but honestly it was too loud to even attempt to make that request.)
But overall, I had a great time and I already have my ticket for Hub3. (Which means I'll be crossing the Atlantic for Hub convention yet again!
-
It's really not soon enough to be concerned about receiving tickets over in the US. Give it until the end of the week at least.
I haven't gotten mine either and I'm starting to get nervous. But I guess I'll wait until friday to see if it arrives before asking what to do next. (I'm also in the US)
-
Thank you!!! She played one of my favorite characters (so far) on Torchwood! I'm very excited to meet her!
Lords Of Time convention 7th to 9th of September

I know you've been planning this event for a long time, however 2 months' notice isn't long enough for me (coming from the US) and there's no way I can make it. I adore your conventions: the fact that I made it 6 of the 8 Hub conventions is proof of that (or my insanity! lol) I hope this Doctor Who convention is a success and the first of many so I can get to at least one of them!
