  1. this was myfirst time to Excel and overall impression was good, I liked the setting, away from the hustle and bustle. Really easy to get to - DLR was great and surrounding motorways easy too

    Signage within the halls could have been better as it took a while to find the Platinum stage, but as a venue Id like the next CE to be there.

  2. Hi there,

    I was wondering if Showmasters were any closer in announcing the guests appearance days. The reason being as it is at the beginning of September alot of us are taking annual 2 weeks holidays the last 2 weeks of August, thus upon return the event is upon us.

    In order to purchase my ticket for the relevant day in time it would be a massive help if we could find out the days

    please help

  5. we have this virtually after every Collectormania, people saying how bad the place/ venue is.

    Personally i think its great, well situated, easy to get to. Plenty of things to do when not looking round the stalls plus ideal to take the wife to as she can go shopping while Im looking round the stalls or stood in queues

  6. Had a great day Saturday. Queueing for brandon and james was well organised, Im glad the whole area was cordened off and that the specific queues were escorted in from the outside

    I think it was a bit chaotic when brandons tickets were being issued as we werent told that you then had to disperse and come back later, werent allowed to stand in line again and wait for brandon.

     

    I wasnt impressed with the no posed photo rule - this is the first year Ive ever not been allowed a posed photo - probably because someone can make more money with the new photo shoots.

     

    Crewing was better organised and the tall chap outside the brandon queue at 7.30 was very helpful.

    Not so sure about the young woman sat at Charisma's desk. In the line we were told she was happy to pose, a young family got a picture infront of me but when I asked her just to look up at the camera while she signed the crew member was rather rude. I wasnt just going to photograph the top of her head, I do think some of the crew think they have a bit too much control and as one crew member in the line said "we are just trying to herd you all through like cattle".

    As with other shows Ive been to they should be seen and not heard. Sometimes I felt I was just dealing with a crew member and the star was by the by just signing and passing on the picture. In future I will only speak to the star.

     

    After that experience at Charismas table things got a whole lot better and enjoyed the whole day.

    Great C11 - great mix of guests and stalls and as always spent far too much money.

    Looking forward to C12 and just one thing Id change dont automatically stop the posed photos, not everyone can afford an autograph and an official picture

  7. Another one , when we write the date its

    day, month, year e.g today being 5th January 2007 and NOT month day year as they do over the pond

    just thought of another two

    your shopping malls are shopping centres here, and note the spelling of centre.

     

    Lines are queues

  8. I gave it 8, guests were all great for me but was surprised to see so many Open Q's by at least 2pm on Saturday.

    My other minor gripe was that they all went for lunch at roughly the same time leaving no one to meet, I think Ernie was back first by a long way. They could at least have staggered.

    Great guests I think I met the most I have ever done for a while, well done SM

    Looking forward to C11
