Are there going to be changing booths like last year too? I actually need to make use of them this time

[TurkFox]

Yes, there will indeed.

[Draco Malfoy]

Thanks for the info

[Vamp_Rouge]

I may be just not looking hard enough but what is the closing date for pre-registration for the saturday masquarde? I can't see it anywhere and I'm deciding if I have the courage to enter with the costume I'll be wearing all day.

[TurkFox]

Thanks, thought I'd put it on the registratin form thread - I've put it on now. :)

[Vamp_Rouge]

Ah, cool, so I wasn't being dim and not seeing it. lol

 

Another, maybe silly question, but are there mirrors in the changing booths? I kind of need to see what I'm doing when I put mine on, otherwise I'll have to get my girlfriend to tell me what's out of place.

[TurkFox]

There haven't been mirrors previously so I wouldn't expect there to be this time.

[Vamp_Rouge]

Thanks for the quick reply. I knew it was wishful thinking. ;-)

[TurkFox]

I'm heading off soon to go and set up, so if there are any more questions, please email showmasterscosplay@googlemail.com - I'll have my phone on me to reply straight away.
