With Mr Cecil's highly-promising show of 16mm rarities lined up, I can't say that there has been any demand so far for Super 8. BUT if anyone wants to compile a Super 8 programme and bring a Super 8 projector, I'd be only too pleased to add it to the entertainment, after the 16mm show. Alternatively, if the dinner survives in 2014, a new volunteer will be needed to compile the film show, so a programme on Super 8 will of course be very welcome then. [Smile]

Just a note for those who travel to Blackpool by train: tickets for mid-November are now bookable, but DON'T book just yet as the non-discounted fares are appearing in advance of the cheap ones. E.g. I checked dates about two weeks before the event and vastly lower fares were available, so we need to hang for a few days. I'll post here when the cheap fares appear online, unless anyone beats me to it.

As for 2014.. I find the multi gauge film presentations are hugely popular so what about Std 8, Super 8, 9.5mm sound, 16mm, 17.5mm and a bit of 35mm. All things are doable and the north west collectors will be keen to support it I know along with some advance planning.

Having filmed on Super 8 at most conventions over the years, I hope to do a reel to present at the 2014 event, which I am sure will happen!

Thanks, Lee & Simon. Lee - I'll send you a message soon.

I'm pleased to confirm that Simon is pencilled in for a 2014 Super 8 show that will include unique material shot at Blackpool conventions!

I was afraid that there could be a shortage of volunteers to keep the Saturday night entertainment going, but instead there could be scope to extend it through the night - thereby saving the cost of a night's accommodation, which will mean more money to buy films on the Sunday! [Smile]

Adrian
I have always assumed that the cheapest rail offers were when they went on sale at the prescribed interval before the travel date.

I note what you are saying. Have the rules been changed?

The cheaper fares now seem to be coming up but you need to be flexible to get the best prices. E.g. you can book from London to Blackpool for only £16 single if willing to travel VERY early on the Friday. I need to spend a night in Wolverhampton on the way so I discovered that various services from Wolverhapton to Blackpool are only £8. I also managed a late afternoon Monday booking from Blackpool to East Croydon for £17. Shopping around can be worthwhile: e.g. the £17 train was on the Virgin site but completely missing on another site I usually use!

Maurice - sorry, I didn't see your message earlier. I'm not aware of any change of rules but I know that the discounted prices are not always precisely 'in sync' with the first opportunity to buy tickets. I can't say if that applies to all routes and operators, but when it comes to buying tickets from South London to/from Blackpool, I have seen more than once this year that if I look ahead to the tickets available for journeys three months (or just under) away, only expensive tickets are on offer, but if I check dates about 2 weeks earlier, then the cheapest options also came up.

Just passing on that I've been advised that a dinner attendee who tried to book a room at the Hilton was told that the rooms (for Film Fair attendees) are now fully booked. So, that's bad news for anyone still hoping to stay there, but it's good to hear that all the rooms were snapped up by September!

Needless to say, anyone who doesn't yet have accommodation should not be discouraged as there are countless rooms available elsewhere in Blackpool. Lots of people have their favourites - personally I can recommend the Collingwood Hotel which is in a road to the side of the Savoy. B&B was £27 per night last year.

I must correct the post of a few days ago regarding rooms at the Hilton. The person who was told that no rooms are available at the Hilton must have failed to specifically ask about the allocation for Film Fair attendees. It has now been confirmed that there are seven rooms still available, but anyone wanting to book one MUST SPEAK TO JULIE VINCENT on 01253 627977. The hotel is fully booked (other than this allocation) so anyone checking online or speaking to anyone else will be told this. Also, these rooms will only be available UP TO THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER, so please make any bookings by then.

Just a note to say that people who have booked for the Saturday night dinner should be receiving their posted (or electronic) information sheets next week. In a few cases, I'll hand them over at Ealing.

If you have NOT yet booked for this fun-packed evening, now is the time to do so! Don't forget that if you are booked in at the Hilton and have not made it known that you wish to attend the Film Collectors' Dinner, you won't be included unless you inform me that you wish to be, so make sure you don't accidentally 'miss the boat'!
