Event run by Showmasters

Grundy Park Leisure Centre, Windmill Lane, Cheshunt
Just off junction 25 of the M25, A10 turning. Follow signs for cheshunt / Grundy Park Leisure Centre.
Only 1 hour from Central London by car or 30 mins by train (from Liverpool St. Station to Cheshunt)

Last two events, the show organiser has had never seen before Star Wars photos and special items on display.

I sadly won't be able to go, I'll be at TENCLO and FF-UK: North York trip to meet Jedi Nat.

 

Well, the last one was good, so I might go again

 

Linking to the FF-UK: South so if people from both groups want to go, you can co-ordinate -

yay!
we'll be there...
hopefully ,the delta source groovy gang will be putting on a game show,type of thing...
like a quiz...
sort of...
hopefully.

 

Last years was great, so I shall definately be going to this one.

Hopefully Matt will be going also ?

 

I thought I'd already done a thread for this, but then realised it was incorporated into the Jedi_Nat meet thread, so sorry for not giving the heads up sooner.

Not sure if I will make it but I will keep my diary free for it. We might get some sneak preview info for CE during this one

 

Blimey, much as I love Manchester, London/South has all the fun

Wish I could be there, sigh!

 

Well London is The Capital !

I live 100 miles away and I always make these events.

Manchester is an easyish train ride away and well worth it.

 

Aye it's not a bad journey - but then you have to get out to Cheshunt, which probably takes longer than getting into London lol

It's also my hubby's birthday that day which is bad timing.

But I've been to Cheshunt before and it's well worth going to.

 

Bring your Husband then, it would be a double celebration!

Cheshunt takes about 20-30 mins from London by train to get to

 

it sounds really cool

 

come along...it's always a good way to kill a couple of hours,if nothing else.

 

Worth going to this just to see the props and the photos. I know the term "never before seen" has been overused, but the sort of things that appear at this show will blow away.

And SM have announced that they would like to chat to fans about CE. On the SM forum is an announcement from The Boss that he looks forward to chatting with fans about what they would like to see at CE, to get fan input into the show.

Thanks for the heads up Paul, I have posted a reply to Jason - http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=88&t=28683&st=0#entry1006662

Over to you Matt, I am so regretting not being able to get there now

 

"the boss"?
i feel a cheap bruce springsteen gag welling up inside of me.
i shall resist,for now...

 

I have to say I am really looking forward to the quiz, Jamie

 

i'm torn between organising a quiz thing or knuckling down and getting a first issue out for 'the book'.
decisions,decisions...

 

I think you should do the quiz Jamie. If you need any help just let me know, I am sure we can cobble something together.

 

cheers mark,i know timmy said he'd be up for doing something as well...
i'd better speak to the organiser.

 

unfortunatly i wont be able to make it as i will be in work the night before and on the night sorry peeps

 

Thanks for posting this, I didn't know when this years was being held. Thank you!

 

No problem Dangooner and welcome to the boards
Where abouts are you from?

 

What are the plans for this event?

 

I am not sure that there is a plan for the event as such. I plan to get there sometime around 12-12.30ish. Should we arrange a time for people from FF-UK to meet up?

 

I won't know until later this week whether or not I can attend.
