nicky Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Are there still going to be parties on the friday and saturday nights for Collectormania? Autographica already has its regular dinner-thing in the evening on one of the nights so I'm thinking SM might too busy to have two parties?

Unless they have the "dinner-thing" one night and the traditional collectormania type party the other night, (just a thought, not that I'm going or anything) LLAP Edited January 30, 2009 by zebredy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collector-man Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Unless they have the "dinner-thing" one night and the traditional collectormania type party the other night, (just a thought, not that I'm going or anything)I think if they just had the one party SM would have a bigger turn out for it rather than cutting it in half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-jackal Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Is there a special rate available at the hotel yet for collectormania? I ask because the website says it's TBA but people on this thread seem to be mentioning a reference to quote on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jola Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Can anyone please give me the phone number I need to make a booking at the hotel? I looked on the hotels website and it says thier phone number is 00121 780 4242 but when I try it I just get amessage saying the number has not been recognised. Help! That's because there are one too many 0's at the beginning of the phone number. Try dialling 0121 instead of 00121 and you should get through.
