I sent of my booking form today after a chat with Ged at Derann, he said bookings were a little slow for the evening meal and dealers for the main Sunday convention, but as he pointed out to me it's only 3 months now to the Convention weekend, so to guarantee a place (and Hotel if needed) collectors should really be thinking of booking now, to avoid the last minute rush (and disappontments if rooms have gone etc.). Well I know my place is safe now (and I'm late in booking myself this year), and now starting to really look forward to it, so if you're a regular or a newbie, then get thos booking forms in, as there are not many events like this now, and we must try and support them for there survival.

Good to see that Barry is starting the publicity here early and it's also good to see that William is providing some new blood! Reports indicate that plenty more bookings are needed so please don't forget that this is a genuine 'use it or lose it' situation. If many people say "I can't make it this year but I'll try to go next year" there won't be a next year! So let's all persuade, force or even (if necessary) beg our associates to come along and keep one of the two foremost UK film collecting events alive. The loss of Blackpool would be a shattering blow - how grim Novermber would seem without this immensely enjoyable weekend. And if it's any incentive to attend the Saturday night dinner, I'm providing the film show that ends the evening and I guarantee that it will include several surprises that will be unfamiliar to most people.
