ElizaJay 18 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 It seems as though there are a lot of people beaming in on their own, I am meeting up with a friend there and feel as though I already know so many more just through chatting on the Facebook groups and on here. I have been to lots of conventions before, so I would just to say to anyone who is trying it for the first time - just enjoy yourself, have fun and don't feel afraid to go and talk to other fans. I felt just the same the first time I went to one (on my own) and loved it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainOrla 14 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I can't wait for this. Just requested to join the facebook page there!

Very nervous hahah Staying in the Ibis on the Friday night and Saturday night and flying home on the Sunday night! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
PrincessDrusilla 36 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Anyone new to cons will find that just by waiting in queues you will get chatting to people and find a group to hang out with - I went to my first con with a mate, and actually made more friends on my own as I was forced to make more effort. I now attend every con by myself and meet up with people when I get there. Plus there's so much going on at these events that you are unlikely to feel like a loner! You will spot fellow con goers as soon as you get there so don't worry! :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
martobilou 3 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi I'd love to meet up with people. I usually end up going by myself too. Be great to meet some other Star Trek fans. I'm travelling from South Wales & staying at the Ibis. My name on Fb is Lou Nevard 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jammor 22 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am coming down for the w/e from the NW of England and I am staying at the Premiere Inn in Beckton. I was thinking of taking the train, but if anyone else from - shall we say the Lancs/Cheshire area (not going to be too specific on a public forum) - would be willing to tolerate a non-driver accompanying them, I'd be happy to pay my share of petrol. Naturally, I'd come to you or meet you somewhere en route. Have to say that I am not a Fb user nor do I intend to ever be so, so I would hope that those of you that are will remember to post things for the rest of us on the forums - thanks.
