Don't think I can do this one, sorry. Have to sacrifice it so I have more chance of attending C10.

The show was a bit of a mix bag really. It had some very good guests, was well organized and a very nice venue, but sadly hardly anyone turned up. Saturday was very quiet, today was busier and a good atmosphere was generated but still lacking in punters. Not sure if it was down to poor timing (C10 next week and a time of month where no one has money) or/and advertising for the show. It's something to build on that's for sure, and if they can attract some good guests for next time then well worth considering.
Thanks to Matt for helping out at the show with me. Matt's taken some good photos which I hope he'll post 
We also had some good chats with some of the Star Wars guests; Alan Harris and Richard Bonehill had some good stuff to say and some brilliant photos.

As requested:
(L to R) Richard Bonehill, Me, Lightening Bear and Allan Harris
(Nien Nunb, Fat Boy (me), Biker Scout, Bossk)
Me and Allan Harris
Richard Bonehill
Me in Stormy kit
Me and Femi Taylor (Oola)
Cool gun shop
For some reason, Matt didn't want his pic taken. This is the only decent one I got of him all weekend.
As Matt said, good venue, good guests, well organised but poorly publicised. Shame.

a terrible shame,indeed,as it looks like it was a very modest affair!
really gutted i didn't go now.
if i had gone,however,i would have insisted that darth konikus didn't leave the room until he'd slid across the bonnet of the torino...

Cheers Tim
On reflection I should have posed for more photos while in costume. I think because there were only two of us, I felt compelled to stay behind the table and look after things that side. And because I didn't get any autographs I didn't feel right asking to have my photo taken with the stars. Ah-well, when I can get my improvements made to my cossy there'll be no stopping me!!

Looks like a good event, wish I had been able to make it. 
Great pictures Matt, shame about the blurring on Femi Taylor etc. (USE FLASH!) 
Great costumes from Matt as always, where was Koren ?

If I use a flash inside with my camera, I get VERY dark pictures. I managed to stay still for the photo long enough for it to take so its probably because she was ACTUALLY moving. Koren was with her mum on saturday and working on sunday. She was a bit miffed about not being able to go but hey ho.

Bit miffed is a definite understatement. He got to chat away with all the guys while I got hot and sweaty at work. S'not fair.
