Got my tickets today. The train leaves at 10:20, so I should be at MK about an hour later, depending on how fast the actualy train is (they have 45min-journey ones and 1h20min ones).

No worries moose, I'll bring my camera, if we all manage to be there at the same time. Although, are we all classified as South (so the meeting is valid)? Cause Richie and I are in London which has it's own chapter...

I think Rich has duel-chapterality or something tongue

Besides, I don't think London has too many meets nowadays anyway, does it?

If if doesn't count as a South meet it could still count as a London meet, which is good either way. happy

I missed Amon. [face_grumpy]

Left my uniform at home, had to be at work for 1pm, and Amon's train was an hour late, so I had to leave closer to 11.30pm than 12pm, which just... sucked.

Next year, it's at the MK Dons stadium... which means it'll be bigger, one hopes, and we'll have less people to worry about that aren't apart of the fun and just being pains. i.e. everyone else in the centre tongue

It will be nice to have a bigger event, plus it will have guest talks like LFCC, which should be good.

But it could be harder to get to, and it's not on the Bank Holiday weekend so there are fewer days to attend.


Plus it can be useful to hold and event like that in a public area. It allows those who are not very informed about such events to get an idea of what they are like, and for those who do not appreciate it to learn how cool it can be.
Yesterday a group who would normally sneer at those who wear costume were eager to have pictures with a stormtrooper (whether or not they knew what movie it was from I don't know). Similarly many members of the public posed with the two Xenomorphs that were skulking around.

I was so mad at Euston yesterday. My train was supposed to leave at 10:20, but it was delayed. And when it finally arrived and people going to MK boarded, it was announced that the journey is canceled and the train changed its destination. So, we all had to wait for another train. angry Awful.
So, sorry I missed you Sinre.

Yeah, that thing for the next year sounds good. They'll even have free talks, which I'm looking forward to. happy

Yesterday's Collectormania was pretty cool all in all. I managed to get an autograph by Lt. Worf, got kissed by a Xenomorph, acquired a 12 hour SW radio play and said "Nobody tosses a dwarf" several times in the relative presence of John Rhys-Davies! grin (Unfortunately, they had no KOTOR minis) And it was always cool to have the SW discussion of awesome with fellow JCers (*waves to Richie and Twinky*), even though some people on that train might have thought we we're crazy. wink

Sounds like some fun was had, even if there were problems with trains and everything. happy

I had the exact same problem getting home from Bristol the other week.
