Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted April 22, 2005 Showmasters Admin Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hi everyone, Jason and I would like to thank you all so much for applying to crew at Collectormania 7. We have been completely overwhelmed by the response, and have had almost twice the number of people we need applying. Unfortunately this does mean that there will be some people who wont be selected to work at Collectormania 7, or even some who may be working, but a bit less than they would expect. PLEASE don't think either is a reflection on you, it is just that we want to try and get as many people as possible to be able to work, but by the same token we have had so many people apply that there will be some who can't this time. We hope that you all will want to apply to help at a future Collectormania, or even The London Film and Comic Con in June, and we will really do appreciate the support and goodwill that we have received from ALL of you. We know that you are all the best crew there is, and we are lucky that you want to work with us! Thank you so much, and whether you are working or not, we look forward to seeing you at Collectormania 7. Mark and Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jestive Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I don't mind not crewing so much, it's the not being told until a week beforehand I object to. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted April 22, 2005 Showmasters Admin Share Posted April 22, 2005 so i assume that means if you havent had an email by now then your not crewing? =x= I'd look on the bright side until you actually get the mail. SM do seem to be sending them out to everyone, crewing or not. So I'm sure you'll get one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why people are annoyed but i can also see things from SMs side of things... so can I but all I feel is upset and I dont think the system is fair. Even if I got picked to crew I would still have the same opinion. ppl who are crewing but not as much as they asked should just be grateful they are crewing at all.

Jestive Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I can understand why people are annoyed but i can also see things from SMs side of things... can you see why they couldn't have worked it out earlier? Cos I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos I can't. I think they'd planned to have them done a week or so ago cos i remember them saying something, but then they had big guests cancel so have been going rather crazy dealing with that! And they cant sort it too early till they know what guests they're gonna have and talks etc Its annoying its so late, im having to faf about to reorganise stuff, but it cant be helped...not this time anyway...hopefully next time things will run a bit more smoothly...

Vegetable Maiden Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 At least they've made a statement, it's not like SMs are being total arses about this Like they said, they're hardly able to take on crew they can't use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eowidith_aura2004 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) I'm sorry some of you are uspet but as SM have said, there are other chances this year to crew for them, and I was pretty annoyed that they took so long to send the emails but at least they have made a statement now and have told us the reasons behind it. The first come first serve way could be a little tricky though as not only do they want new people to join their team but they also need to make sure they are recruiting someone who will be a credit to the team and for all they know the first emails they get could be off ANYONE.

Nell Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 oh man if I ever asked again I'd need some prozac. besides, other chances to crew doesnt help me now. I really look forward to collectormania cuz I dont get to go anywhere else. If I dont have that, I have nothing at all to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah-4-eva Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Guys, you have to bear with them. They dont just have a LOT of work to do, they have TONNES! How many great guests have been announced lately? I'm sure that takes ages to sort out too. They NEED crew, so its not as if they're NOT going to do it at all, you just need a bit of patience. They've done their best, i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
