[QUOTE="David Tree, post: 173639, member: 198"] You're all dead on with food being available, it was one of the things that did not work out last minute. I had asked the baker if they wanted run of the kitchen for tea, coffee, food in return for a fee towards costs, but last minute pulled out as think they didn't know what to expect and be left with stock on what would be the only day off for the week for them, however am sure next time something can be worked out, possibly like a pre-ordered lunch bag or something that they make in advance? The raffle is a great idea, but if a certain number of tickets are not sold, it might not cover the cost of the prize? Holding it further north I have no problems with, except someone else would have to organise, find venue, work logistics etc, whilst here is something I can manage with work. There's a reason it's called Farthest From ;) Guests are possible, but costs rocket with covering travel, food, accommodation and sometimes appearance fees. We're spoilt here in the UK for guests, but it is also a little over saturated with the same faces at each show. I'd like to see if a different kind of guest is possible? Maybe related, but not in the movie sense? Another snag which didn't work out was Skype, which opens up a lot of possibility, there are a few ideas suggested with a few folk Stateside, which could make for a very interesting element, but equally Joe could be online to talk trilogy for example :) Heaters were also down, which given the crap weather didn't help and I was not too happy with all the crap at the end of the hall looking like a bonfire pile too, but all in all these can and will hopefully be fixed for the next one :) I'd love to see more on the discussion front, open panels, talks etc and totally happy or others to do this and get involved if they have an idea? Common ground is always good for everyone to participate - like 'how did you get into collecting?', but individuals talking about the pockets of unique research and learning is fascinating to me too, say for example comics? Hopefully folk are enriched from it, more enthused and open to new areas of collecting, there's so much stuff out there that is a challenge and usually cheaper than the toys too ;) Besides, some people have 4 out the 12 cards now, the OCD completist part of you will make you come back for the others :) More suggestions/ ideas folk, someone said more of Jez's cake? ;) Dave [/QUOTE]
