Showmasters Admin showmasters 5,941 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thank you all for the kind words of support they are very welcome. We try every year to make the guest line up better than the year before but time is very much agents us , so we try to make as many appearances happen as we can. each year rather than let another year go by. At the end of the day these great men only ask to be treated with respect and for us to honour the agrements we have with them, over the years we have never let any of them down and we have gained all there trust and a reputation with them all for being reliable and decent, one or two of them have even said we are NASA material which was just an amazing thing to have said . we will try every year to gather as many of these heroes for as long as they can attend our events and when that day comes when these crews cannot attend we will go on to the next generation of heroes the shuttle crews but you can rely on us to keep trying up to the end to keep making these appearances happen. Thank you all for supporting Autographica, its you that keeps these events happening, also thank you all for helping to promote the show to new people as well as this really helps us know that the events will be well attended which means we can go for more guests and bigger guests. we will keep on running Autographica as long as you that support us keep coming back, we will do our best for all people out there that want these rare chances to meet these guests in the UK. thank you all and i look forward to seeing you all later on in the year. more guests to come Jason,Dave and Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Leacroft 79 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 excellent news. Excellent guest. I will be coming to this show. Link to post Share on other sites
timelord81r 134 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I always try to get autogrphicas off work, usually great guests but what prompts me to beg borrow and steal to have them off work (still bugging my boss on this one but its a bit off at the mo) are the astronauts esp apollo era & prior. thanks dave, jason, paul ect for putting on these excellent events with such legends Edited January 28, 2013 by timelord81r Link to post Share on other sites
90degnorth2010 6 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well done the organisers of Autographica for securing Walt Cunningham. This guest alone is well worth the travel to Birmingham from London and I am really looking forward to this years event. As always I am well up for as many apollo guests as possible just like many others members here. Excellent work guys and many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

Bumper8 458 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Great news- another opportunity to meet a NASA hero! I had a great time in Birmingham last October chatting to Charlie Duke (a real gent) and to get my photo with Buzz Aldrin. Many thanks again Dave for allowing me to move nearer the front of the Buzz photoshoot queue so's I didn't miss my 5pm flight back to Glasgow! Good luck for 2013 :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Hannerzzz09 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Fantastic announcement guys, well done! Keep the Apollo guys coming! Link to post Share on other sites
Aldrin 9 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Super announcement - thanks showmasters!! He hasn't been here since the Northampton 2002 show? So he's long overdue! And unless his price has shot up he's a affordable signer too. Happy days! Link to post Share on other sites
Showmasters Admin showmasters 5,941 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi everyone Walt's signing fee will be very affordable and a great chance for you to get those photos signed that have been hanging around in the cupboard. We are very aware in this economic climate of the affordability issues surrounding some guests. So this year we will be doing our best to keep the cost's down as much as is possible.

descartes 7 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Dave, I very much like your posting on Walt's fees. That statement is very much in keepiing with the the AUTOGRAPHICA ethos 'customers come first'. Thankyou team. The days are going to go slowly between now and then.. Plenty of time to get 'health issues' on track. Allan Link to post Share on other sites
mart99 1 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 cool yes Apollo 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Vic Hillary 0 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I collect Apollo astronauts signitures but I do like to select the photo. I prefer photos of the on the Moon or vehicles in orbit. If I were to pre order Mr Cunningham would it be possible to select the photo so that it can compliment what I already display on my wall? Any with the docking module over the Earth would be nice.
