maggiem Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 We should try and have a bit of a forum meet up, perhaps on Friday night - I'm not sure I actually met any of you last time! I seem to remember we tried to sort out a meet by the John Watson exhibit, but it didn't really happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhw Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Well a PM function would be nice. Ah well. I'm sure we can figure something out. If nothing else, if we meet up on Friday, maybe I could just get a hard copy of your schedule from you there? If everyone who wants to meet up is on Facebook, is that an easier place to discuss things? I'll make sure to print an extra one just in case anyone needs it. I am not known as the Office Mummy for nothing! I'll also have tissues, sticking plaster, headache tablets, hand sanitiser and anything else we might need in my capacious, Mary-Poppins-esque massive bag. I'm on Facebook, in the Sherlocked: Introductions group; you'll spot me as my avatar here is the same as my current profile picture. I've posted a quick anyone want to do a Friday meet-up? question at the Facebook Sherlocked Intros page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhw Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Great! Any ideas on what time or a location? I was thinking it might be good to meet before the open hours of 6-8, maybe just outside the entrance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) I have no idea where the intos page is. I cannot find it. I feel like a really old person spending ages looking for the very thing they are standing in front of.

The Pink Lady Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Try searching for "Sherlocked - The Event : Introductions". It's a group which was set up for the first event but has been kept going intermittently since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it might be good to meet before the open hours of 6-8, maybe just outside the entrance? That sounds sensible. Last time there was quite a queue for registration so perhaps we should aim more for the nearest area of seating to avoid getting mixed up in it. How about 5:45? I'm getting there earlier in the day so will probably register in the afternoon, then pop off for a bit to do something else, and come back to ExCel for the evening opening; but I suspect others will only arrive after work.

Raylenth Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm relying on you guys - you were the one's who spotted the impossibility in the schedule last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfairie Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm wondering when they are going to announce the talks and put them on sale, I don't need to buy them myself but there really is not long to go now and at this rate I think it's going to be one mad dash during the last week for the day/weekend pass holders. Maybe they are waiting till they put the schedule up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm wondering when they are going to announce the talks and put them on sale At this rate a week after the event. No, it can't be too much longer though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.P. Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Last year this forum was much more busy wasn't it... Wondering how many people will come without any of the leads as guests.* Still hoping for Arwel, Danny, Davey Nellist and maybe Ian Hallard to be there. Also wondering who will be the host this time. I loved David (even if I might be in the minority) *not that I worry. The less the better - for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved David (even if I might be in the minority) *not that I worry. The less the better - for us! Re David, I haven't seen any of the others to compare him to but I liked that he got straight to the point last year and told people not to ask for hugs ect from Benedict. It's difficult to say either way on the subject of MC's as there's good and bad. It does stop a lot of people being able to ask questions but then you also get fewer stupid ones and he does generally know what to ask the guests. Interestingly Arwel has just replied to presumably you (there can't be that many JP's who live in Germany ) on Twitter with a wink so maybe that means 'watch this space', who knows! I keep having dreams that we get there on the Saturday and they go 'We kept it as a surprise for you all but Benedict's dropped in!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.P. Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Would be nice, but they would miss the opportunity to attract MANY people. And yes, I'm the same JP, the owl with blue scarf.

Raylenth Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yeah, he won't be there as unless he was appearing for free they wouldn't have enough chance to recoup his appearance fee now I'd think. I can still dream it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on Facebook, in the Sherlocked: Introductions group; you'll spot me as my avatar here is the same as my current profile picture. I'm not on Facebook, but I'd like a meet up before we go in. When everyone says "Platinum A", do you mean the photo shoot group you chose when you booked your ticket? I don't think we've been assigned a group based on ticket number yet? Great!

Raylenth Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hi Maggie, yes it's the photo/auto group letter you had to pick when you bought your package ticket. I don't think there are any groups arranged by ticket number unless I'm mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhw Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 So anyone who'd like to meet-up, how about Friday 5:45 to 6-ish, just outside the main entrance to the convention. Meet on the right of the entrance (as you are facing the convention.) Sound good? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meet on the right of the entrance (as you are facing the convention.) Sound good? Yep, sounds good! Just bear in mind, as I said, that there will likely be a queue for registration right outside our hall, so we might need to look out for each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pink Lady Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I just saw someone tweet that the talks schedule was up on the website - I just went and checked, and lo and behold, it is, with no announcement from the organisers! But go check it out. Lots to see, and more good stuff on the second stage. Looks good! (And for those of us still wishing for a last minute guest announcement, there is still one talk slot on the main stage listed as "to be announced". The game is never over, boys and girls) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Re meeting up I'll just say that have you remembered that it opens at 6pm and that there will be a log queue for that by the doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
