Shout out to the blue and red shirts

[Brodnick82]

Just wanted to express how wonderful all the red and blue shirts have been over the past couple of days. 

The organisation at the photo shoots was top notch, and I saw them deal with a difficult situation with patience and a cool head. 

Well done to them all, and thank you for making these shows possible.

Hear, hear. There was the beginnings of an issue when there was a technical issue that held up photo area A around mid afternoon yesterday and with a George Takei photoshoot timetabled to start but the previous 2 (much shorter) shoots still hadn’t happened yet but they handled it brilliantly, even the red shirt who came out to tell everyone waiting that if they also had tickets for David Warner in the Klingon Throne they should go do that now and come back. Never seen that before, they usually don’t know what to do in those instances (see LFCC chaos last summer). All the queues were BRILLIANT. First time I’ve ever seen at any major SM event, proper capping of queues at the VQ signpost and not letting them get out of control. Really well managed by everyone this year.

We have. Ray Park didn't show up for his Friday shot last year, so we were told if we had a photoshoot with Tom Baker, to go do that first then come back, due to Tom not being there the full day.  Probably not very often it happens, but it does.

All the crew was brilliant. The photographers was amazing, the handling of the queues for autos and photos as well. 5-star rating!

Very true I forgot about the photographers. They were great. Big well done to the photographer at photo area A displaying such patience during the J G Hertzer as General Martok shoot as he insisted on stopping and speaking to everyone as if it was his autograph table .
