Santiago Cabrera for The Musketeers collection for me from them all Edited May 27, 2022 by Mfahey79 spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Not a fan of Star Trek myself, but Santiago Cabrera is a guest I've been wanting to meet since my Merlin obsessed days. Really pleased! Plus Andy Serkis was a guest I didn't know I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the equivalent of £250 at SW Celebration right now. Premium guests, premium prices, people sadly have got to get used to that. Autographs are a luxury not an essential. I paid roughly £200 each for the two autographs I have from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciated. But still, I'm not one to dump on the unspoken rules. I shall say no more of other events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy1988 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I always thought that talking about events is okay as long as you do not mention the name of the event or link to them. I mean SM are not the only signing event in the world, or even in the country. There will always be competition. Still, talking about the forums. After coming back from a several month break I am really surprised at how quiet it is around here. Feels weird and kind of depressing really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff K Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Read an old thread the other day where it was basically stated that nothing could be posted that would identify another company's event. It is sad to see the forum now, compared to how it used to be. Think it may be a general thing these days, people seem to prefer using FB or Twitter rather than forums. Maybe they don't see the point in joining a forum, when they're already on FB etc. Edited May 30, 2022 by Geoff K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more because this is their forum, they pay for the site and the bandwidth and all that so they reasonably, don't want other companies advertised here. I've used this analogy in the past but it works - it'd be like going into M&S and loudly telling everyone about the items they have in H&M and to go and shop there. If you did that, I'm sure they would ask you to leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AckAck Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Are there any restrictions this year in regards to 'a virus which I won't name'......? i.e. do you need an app or proof of anything. Last event I attended was 2019..... Edited June 4, 2022 by AckAck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff K Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) The passports are no longer mandatory for venues, though a small monthly signing I go to has only just stopped requiring them to be shown before entering. I've not seen anything yet regarding any rules for this year, but I expect Showmasters will clarify things nearer the event. Edited June 4, 2022 by Geoff K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mfahey79 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 for the one in January, it was just after the rules changed, so they were more advisory more than anything. we'll have to wait and see if Showmasters updates things, but these were the rules for Spring 1. No person with symptoms or anyone who has tested positive in the last 10 days and has not subsequently had a negative test in the last 5 days should attend the event.2. If you have any doubts about your health status or are exhibiting any symptoms please take personal responsibility and test yourself with a LFT before travelling to the event.3. If you have been mixing with others outside your normal circles or been part of a large crowd within the last couple of days then please take personal responsibility and test yourself with a LFT before travelling to the event.4. Everyone at the event should wear a face covering if they can for the mutual protection of all involved – guests, visitors and staff. These will not need to be worn in photo shoots. 5. Hand sanitising stations are located around the hall, please ensure you use these regularly or bring your own so you can maintain hygiene levels. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedammit Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Just to jump in on the 'don't mention other cons' thing, it's kinda ok to mention something like San Diego, because it's such a big cultural event. You shouldn't mention other UK events that could be considered competition for SM though. I definitely wouldn't mention this show for example. That'd be a real no-no. All of the Monopoly cons either. Not the Liverpool one. Not the Manchester one. Not the Scotland one. Nor all of their 'For The Love of...' ones. Don't mention any of them. Don't even think about mentioning Wales Comic Con. Starfury Events (e.g. Crossroads, Survival, both of their Ultimates ones) are a bit different, but it's still best not to mention any of those either. Hope this helps. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
