Great, thanks for that, as its all new to me I erred on the high side. Means I may have a little more to spend then. Excellent and thanks for the info :) Andy You're overestimating there a bit, I think. Prowse and Baker (Vader and R2) will be £15 each maximum so that's £30, not £50. And I'm pretty sure you're £5-£10 over on most of those astronauts too, Leonov I am almost sure is £20, not £25, and if he is only £20, I doubt if any of the others are more than that and I suspect some may be £15. I think you've overestimated by atleast £50. 887613[/snapback]

Dimond Pass = £349 Aldrin Dinner = £195 Auto's Aldrin x 1 = £90, Duke x 3 = £75 Gordon x 1 = £25 Carpenter x 1 =£20 Leonov x 2 = £50 Kubasov x 1 = £25 Jack Lousma x 1 = £25 Plus for my son: Darth Vader + R2D2 = £50 not sure about the others maybe B.Blessed So a hefty £904 ish so far bloody hell thats 3 days work! for me Should be a great event, looking forward to it.

Thanks for that, I am looking forward to meeting Buzz, and certainly hope to get to meet the other Astro's and cosmanauts. I am on the Cosmanaut table for the Saturday Dinner as the others were full. How many per table Saturday night? Thanks Andy I am charging the batteries for my camera, so hope to get some great shots. You made the right choice (at least I think so)! I had a Diamond Pass last year. I didn't use the queue jumping feature because it wasn't really necessary - if you're there all 3 days, there's no rush to get anybody's signature - just wait until there's no queue, or get in early before anybody else arrives, which is one of the privileges of the pass. Regarding the show overall, last year it was very relaxed and there was no problem meeting the astronauts. As I arrived in the car park, Al Worden's car pulled up next to me and I got a handshake and a chat. An hour or so later, I had a relaxed conversation with Charlie Duke, followed by pictures with all the astronauts. Friday evening is definitely the best time to be there, because it seems that most people attend on Saturday and Sunday. The lectures are also good fun and everyone gets a photograph afterwards - bring your digital camera! I'm also going to the Aldrin dinner. If it's anything like the Terashkova dinner last year, it will be a great experience -- and no shortage of wine. See you there! Kim Topley 887242[/snapback]
