Hope there is lots of S8 stuff there and no videos /DVDs!
Having spoken to one or two of my collecting friends, I believe last years event was much improved over the recent ones, whereby unless you are into 16mm or movie memorabilia etc or DVD's, there was apparently very little for the S8 enthusiast,however if you like digital formats, there were loads of merchandise!
Not really what you want to see at a film convention, and in one instance the collector said he wished he hadn't bothered going for the small amount of very average Super 8mm material that was on offer on the day.
Lets just hope then the convention carries on from where it left off last year, with plenty of actual film in all guages including Super 8mm quality sought after items. [ August 29, 2014, 02:01 AM: Message edited by: Andrew Woodcock ]

To all those who are wondering if they should go to this years Blackpool Convention don't hesitate, this years will be better than last years and last years was the best Blackpool Convention for a number of years any one who was there will vouch for that.Also please try and go to the Convention dinner on the Saturday night again at the Hilton hotel. We get a first class three course meal, an entertaining film quiz during the meal with a nice prize for the winner, a raffle is held after the dinner with some valuable prizes to be had, you could win such items as feature films, film books, CD's, cartoon shorts, projector lamps,bottles of spirits etc.etc and finally to finish off a great night a film show all this for a very reasonable £20 I promise you you will enjoy it and meet plenty of friendly fellow film collectors. Don't miss out contact Adrian Winchester to book your ticket, on Tel No.020 86560168 soonest.
