Just spoke to Keith GE. He is now booked up for this as well. Starting to look quite good

DC, I know I told you that I would be coming to this after all, it kills me but I really can't make it. Been doing the sums and they don't work, it'll cost over £100 each for us just to get there.

 

Even going for a cheap hotel we'll be looking at about £500 for travel, accommodation and admittance to the event before any spending money for essentials such as eating and drinking and drinking!

 

Lee tried to get me to go without him so it'd only be half the price, and I would have but he's deffinately going to be made redundant in January now so we need to save the money.

 

Hope you all have a great time

What if you eliminate the eating part?

I will pick up some of the drinking part if you can make it. Ok, maybe only one round, but that is better than none! If you can get everyone to get you and Lee one round, you should be able to get as happy as the rest of us and you will forget about the eating and the fact you will be sleeping on the hotel stoop.

That's lovely and I wish I could, but now we'll be one income down next month I'm going to have to be a grown up and realistic, just can't afford it this time.

Hey, It's a shame you wont be there but I'm sure we will all get to meet up in the new year sometime. There should be plenty of photos taken and i'm sure Dave will make sure some end up on the board.

 

Sorry to hear about Lees job. Hope he finds something soon

There better be pictures, I want to see lots of pictures!

Hi Guys, I wont be coming either for one reason or another. It's not that I don't want to, but my plans involve something which is far closer to my heart. I would be good to have a meet up in the new year at some point!

Lung surgery? (you said it was closer to your heart... har har)

 

Sorry to hear you can't make it. We actually just got our rooms booked so all we have left is our flight. Can't wait to see everyone who DOES make it.

Yes a meet up deffinately, we'll have to organise something.

hey guys, sort of breaking conventions here (conventions - conventions, eh heh )

 

this year im out as some of you probably know, posem is still underage :/

However, 2011 looks to be a prime year for me to be allowed into the wide world

 

submergence in coursework, 6th form work, scouting and photography

(oh and a job. Yeah, posem got a job, what happened to the world... 0_o)

 

all the above and even more have distracted me from all you guys :/ but when i have my degree it'll all be worth it

 

PLUS, after i've worked my way through all the Sword Of Truth books (only on book 2, dont get your hopes up )

i can reread ALL the necroscope books as i bought them as e-books and imported them onto my iPod Touch for portable reading (my pride and joy xx)

 

so yeah, 2011, posem is being released into the wide world and will be more than anticipating meeting all you people finally over a topic we all enjoy.

 

peace for now xx.

 

P.

There are only 16 memberships left according to the World Horror Con's website. Be sure to get signed up now if you haven't!!

 

Also, Brian will be receiving his award at the banquet on Saturday at the Brighton Pier. Make sure you get your tickets before they are sold out as well!

Please can we have lots of pictures taken of this, for those of us unable to make it. Not just of this banquet, but the whole thing so that I can see just how much fun I'm missing!

Sharon, drop me an email, I live about an hours drive from Brighton so if you and Lee want you could crash here and drive over with me if you like?

Rixy you are a very generous man and I would love to take you up on that offer, but I can't. We still can't afford for both of us to go as Lee hasn't managed to get another job yet (though he's just applied for one that looks promising - fingers crossed!) so we're on a really tight budget, and even if we could I've just checked the website and the tickets for the convention have all sold out.

 

You can't go to the banquet unless you have a ticket to the convention and the ceremony isn't expected to be finished till about 10.30pm, then there's a party back at the hotel - which is also fully booked.

 

Everyone will be at the convention during the day and the banquet in the evening. We won't be able to get in so will hardly see our friends at all, and if I go by myself (which I can almost afford to do!) I'll be on my own all day and most of the evening so it isn't really worth it.

 

Thanks anyway though, we must arrange for a general meet sometime soon, it would be great to see you.

No worries mate. Shame you both can't come down but as you say it's all sold out now pretty much.

 

We'll definately have to organise a proper drink soon, I haven't seen everyone since the last Con!

That's way too long, we will certainly have to do something about it, but then you'll be seeing most people at the WHC I guess.

What is the plan for next week? When is everyone getting there?

Amber and I should be getting into Heathrow around 10am on Wednesday, 24th. We should be in Brighton by 1pm at the latest I figure and we are staying at the Holiday Inn down the road. I plan on having my phone with me and getting an international plan for the month so I can easily get hold of everyone.

We should be getting there lunchtime (ish) on Thursday. Staying in con hotel so easy to find (The bar).

 

See you there....

Ok, I'm staying at the Hilton Metropole just along the road. I'll head along to the bar in the con hotel on Thursday. I'll IM my mobile number

Here is a link to the schedule from the WHC site:
