I can understand where Mike's coming from 1 whole year to book off a holiday is a bit ridiculous. However if you notice it's September. September is one of the few months where EVERYONE tries to book a holiday, and the last thing people want is for all of the staff booking a holiday at one time... I know people who have to book 6 months in advance. It does happen, especially in a busy organization. That way they can limit the amount of people taking the time off work. It's common sense really. On a side note.... Hurry up showmasters and give us a date or confirm it's not happening!

Thank you ever so much for letting us know the situation. I was beginning to loose hope.... *wanders off to tell her Cosplay Group*

I would like a little notice as to when it's happening or if it's happening at all..... I don't want to spend 2 months on making a costume for an event that isn't going to happen since manchester is the only place i can go to..... i also don't want to find out a date for the event and be forced to make it in a short amount of time.... I don't want my life planned out 12 months in advance but don't you think 4-6 months is cutting it alittle close for something that's supposed to be thoughly planned out?

Well, same as everyone else, this year my credit has been well and truly crunched so I'm making cutbacks and unless there is a Manchester event I won't be going to any more Showmasters events whether they are in Northampton, any of the Midlands events or even LFCC. I've been going to events for over 20 years and for a company this size I'm shocked at the lack of communication with the potential market in relation to this event. This is only my opinion and it saddens me to make it but there is no excuse for ignoring your customer base. Kudos to you! I agree to this completely. It's almost as if they don't care, since they havn't confirmed a positive or a negative in regards to this event I'm a cosplayer trying to put together a group with friends but at this rate none of us are going to have time to even make our costumes, let alone try and reorganise it all with friends I've been going to the Manchester event since the first one and I fully understand like Havok the effort required into putting together an event, but that's no excuse for not at all considering their customers and keeping them informed of what is happening. We are at the end of febuary, spring soon, if the even is... as you say.... taking place in summer don't you think you're leaving it alittle too late to inform people who truely wish to go.

Heh Congestion charge didn't even go through.... loads of people voted no, so it wont be happening.

Definatly going when we know the date. I'll be going mainly for Cosplay, but for stalls as well.

Maybe we could use his magical powers to come up with a date for the event. *chuckles* Merlin guests would be awesome.

I'd love to meet Gareth and John

I'd really like to know if there is any chance we'll ever get a date for this event. I know that Manchester's event have been going down hill since i've been going to them but i really hope this isn't the end. Alot of people i know will be very upset if there isn't going to be another Manchester event, including myself and alot of people here on the forum too. *Hopes for a date soon*
