Some of us will be there stupid-early to set up the table. In October, the queues were indeed crazy from opening until about 1pm (2 hour wait for purchase - prebooked pickup might have been a bit better), so I'd recommend you get there as early as you can - definitely before opening time.

Liz and I are planning to be boots on the ground by 8:30 to drink coffee and eat some cornbread.....

The "Pub & Kitchen" joined onto the Custom House hotel sounds convenient to/for me...

Aiming to have skids down around 8-8.30 to lend a last minute hand.

Have we got a changing area? If not im probably going to park at Excel on the saturday so ill have some extra dumping space if not.

Okay guys got in contact with organisers from MCM. Sadly there is no chaining area availble for the UKCM.

So it will have to be change in hotel rooms.

Thanks Guys

No change there then.

I would suggest we co-ordinate all parking together under excel. We can make our own changing room out of carefully positioned cars!

We have had no specific communications from the organisers or venue, but considering what has happened in London in the past few days, I'd like people to take care to follow our carry rules here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11540

More specifically, make absolutely sure your replica weapons are covered or in carry cases when you are not in costume. I'd like everyone to ensure they meet up with DATA for weapons inspection, and everyone should be extra mindful when they are out and about even when in costume.

Well said buddy.

OK Rich is right on Parking together in the underground parking. As we done this before and also leaving stuff in the van my only got the backdoor so i would like to leave it parked behind Rich's Van so no one can break in!!!!

We can park in a corner and use the Van's as cover.

As Gareth said, London will be hell with Weapons and Knives !!!!!

When you are really I will check your weapon in the "Van changing area" before heading to the tables. Once I done this once I will not check again as no one will put gas, bb's or batties into there weapons right???

I will parking in the underground parking at the Excel for Friday night and walk over to the hotel. Hope to be there for 6ish.

Cheer's Steve
