SunSpeed Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 This may sound like a stupid question and I hope people don't make fun of me for asking this, but does anyone have any tips on how to stay cool in the Mk Shopping Centre when you're at Collectormania? Even though C12 will now be held at the end of October it may be as hot as it was when I went to C10 last October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted June 16, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2007 Thin(ish) clothing - can always take something else to wear on top if it gets colder. Mini-fan or those things that spray water. Drink a lot of water take a bottle with you, it's probably cheaper, or get some from the water machine at the toilets in John Lewis. Rest in a shady spot when you get the chance. Other than that, I don't think there's a whole lot you can do really, especially when it's so packed - it's just expected that things will get hot if you're surrounded by that many people!

Slayer2004C Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yeh i was freezing during C11 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Its normally pretty cool in there. I guess when youre surrounded by crowds and rushing around you can get hot but on the whole i find the MK to be a rather drafty place. I mean the doors are always open and birds fly in and out, makes you feel like youre outside when your not lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chole110 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 It can get hot if the sun comes out! If the sun appears it's like a greenhouse in there! Was baking at times during C11! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 It can get hot if the sun comes out! If the sun appears it's like a greenhouse in there! Was baking at times during C11! Yes, but C12 is the week before Halloween - a time of year when it's generally cooler and less sunny. Indeed, given sod's law, the existence of this thread practically guarantees that we're now in for the coldest end of October since about 1674 or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobo1979uk Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yeah the queues on the side front of the hall with the windows above get hot. I would suggest choice of costume would be important here. Leias slave bikini or lara croft costumes for the ladies. Conan the barbarian or nice reflective C-3PO costume for the fellas ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted June 24, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2007 Leias slave bikini or lara croft costumes for the ladies. Yeah, some ladies .. I don't think the costume/s would suit all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobo1979uk Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 To be fair, dont think id fit in a C3PO either without some major modifications ;-) Leias slave bikini or lara croft costumes for the ladies.

buffy2k Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I'm not sure you have to worry about this after all have we even had a summer yet let alone in Octobe!. For anyone who was queuing at C11 in May will tell you it was freezing on the saturday waiting for photoshoots we all caught colds, the guests all wrapped up for sunday and was a little wamer but still really cold. At MK it has to be warm to feel the effects in the centre so i wouldnt worry fo October for sure! nicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptpugwash Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 i would just like to say i live in mk and visit the centre quite often including cm and i have never had a problem with the temperature, hot or cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma_Adams Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 i found it quite warm at sports mania XD i guess its just a thing that ranges from person to person, though i live in MK also and the temperature in there really does change depending one the weather eg. a bit of sun outside makes the center really warm, but a cold wind outside makes it really chilly, so dress for all weather XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan the barbarian or nice reflective C-3PO costume for the fellas ;-) I thought it was close and hot on the sides of the hall when I went to C10 on the Sunday. When I went to meet Elizabeth Rohm, Burt Kwouk, Lance Guest, Megan Gallagher and Marcia Wallace in that section I found it close. I've been meaning to reply in this thread since I read the first few replies to my first post. Thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian_Raven Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 When I went to C11 I didn't have a problem with the temperature (despite wearing a heavy leather coat) but more had a problem with trying to find somewhere to sit and rest that wasn't in a cafe where you have to buy something to be allowed to use the seats.

SunSpeed Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 I found the only places outside the cafes and restaurants where you could sit, were the low marble benches/walls around the Collectormania area in the centre of the hall and down the side parts of the hall.
