The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Marines..

We have a SCREEN-CON (screen conventions) event happening at The Parks Leisure Centre, North Shields on Saturday 4th May - 10am - 4pm there will be celebrity guests from Star Wars, Harry Potter and so forth doing signings, sculpting and mask making demo's by some talented prop makers, activities for kids, stalls, and a variety of costuming groups in attendance. We are talking to the Northern Charity Daleks, 99th Garrison, Rebel Legion and it would be fantastic to have the UKCM (Hadrians Wall) there if possible?

There promises to be a huge turnout on the day and it should be a great oportunity to raise lots of money for good causes, as well as get involved in some colonial marine drop action.

Is anybody free/interested in attending? Please sign up here, or drop me a message or email to discuss further.

It's shaping up nicely - really looking forward to it!

Hyde, just a suggestion but what about half the day with the 99th and half the day with the Aliens crew? There is a secure changing facility so storing your gear and getting changed etc. won't be a problem.

That would be great - it was a big success at Woodhorn with all the kids (and most of the dad's...like me!)

Still in if I can sort transport for me and the kids, or if I can get a babysitter, but it's looking kinda doubtful.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Myself and Heatshock will have a Prop table of various movies as we are actually listed as Staff at this event.

This is going to be a good Multi Costume Group event by all accounts.

Had a fantastic day at SCREEN CON. Surpassed what was expected by the public, so looks set to see a SECOND Screen Con next year and hopefully onwards.
North East really needs something like this on a regular basis.

Was awesome as ever to catch up with you Hyde and Rex 2 TECKNO HUGS, The GODS Favoured you ;)

Heatshock and I had an awesome time with the props we took including Joint, BSG, ALIENS. Heatshock had an awesome selection of Clone lids, I had lots of other goodies too (Screen Used "24", Airwolf, 6th Day, Screen Used Space:Above & Beyond, Stargate) inc a table full of Resident Evil UMBRELLA Corp (screen Used and repro) goodies.

For 2 guys and 1 Car, we did very well to fill 3 tables with film/TV props, next year we're hiring a van and both bringing MORE!

Even got change to gear up in the UMBRELLA Corp kit and have fun with the public :D
Sorry no photos, wouldn't let me :/

So an Awesome day with multi groups turning out to make it a huge success. Here's to Next years.
