I plan to be there for the start of the show since we are being given free entry. I also like to have time to get into costume prior to the start of the show.
The show starts at 9 am on the Saturday so I will try to get there for about 8:30 at the latest.

Cheers

Darren

Standard entry is 11.
I hope to be there between 9-10

I guess it a early start.

I hope to be there for 9.00 ish.

In the morning the traffic is light. Just need to be past the M4/M5 point by 8.00 and I should be OK.

I guess we meet up in Hall 12 car park? I will try to find you Darren, that's if you got the Van back!!

Cheer's Steve

Either that, or you could dress in a distinctive manner! I wouldn't worry about getting in and out too much.

yes, there will be wristbands but like Gareth said, being dressed as a Colonial Marine/ Alien/ Predator is usually sufficient. I would suggest meeting up outside and going in together but it seems people will be arriving at various times which can't be helped of course so I will try to collect enough wrist bands for all and then come out and meet you as you arrive, save any hassly explanations at the door.

Cheers
Darren

WHAT??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aw man, I never knew about this...
I already bought Early Entry tickets for both days
They're probably lost somewhere in the postal system........

I'll be in Birmingham the night before so I don't know what time I'll be turning up on Saturday - will likely be around midday - and pay the normal entrance fee. I wouldn't mind a wristband on Sunday if there's a spare one going...

If you're willing to do some spotting for a certain Bug I see no reason why you can't get in under the official UKCM banner both days.

Simon's right. I think it's been mentioned before but for those members who attend an event without costume but are willing to act as spotters (although not always that necessary what with the marines being able to do it) or help man a table (if we have one) then there's no reason I can see why shouldn't be able to get in with the rest of us. I think it would only be a problem if someone was a member who never attended in costume or never helped with either of the above at any shows.
Just give someone a call when you arrive Gemma and we can sort a wristband for you I'm sure.

Cheers

Darren

Well it's unlikey i will be in armour at this, due to the fact its a right pain carrying my armour on and off 3 trains.. so i'll bring my BDU's and help out as best i can with this drop, i will at some point go off to get some Autographs,

Sounds good mate. See you there.

Cheers

Darren

Since we have 'official entry' then, I have an Early Entry ticket for each of the Saturday and Sunday, going free if anyone has need of 'em.

I'll stick with paying on Saturday because I've got some people to catch up with and won't be able to bugsit for the whole day. Don't mind doing that on Sunday though

I read that as 'bug-shit' for the whole day!!

Ooh, look at the new Smilies;

I plan on leaving early tomorrow so I should be at the NEC around the 8:30 time.

I will try to find Darren Van and him also.

It the Hall 10 car park I guess or should I just say to the person on the gate I am with the UKCM?

I just spoke to Bryan and he will hopefully email me a pass that can be simply printed out. This will get you through security gate 3. We can unload and then pick up proper car passes from the show office inside. I told him there would be 3 vehicles (myself, Steve and Simon) couldn't think of anyone else that is driving and didn't want to take the pee anyway. He DID say however, that this would need to be before 9am. I plan to be there before then as does Steve apparently. I'll print 3 of these passes out and bring them with me tomorrow morning.

Cheers

Darren

I can't guarantee i'll be there for 9, but I was gonna park in the hotel CP and walk or shuttlebus to the atrium anyway.

You can't check in that time of the morning though can you? I don't think you are allowed to park there and then leave your car since they won't know it belongs to a guest until you check in later. I could be wrong though.

Cheers

Darren

Granted, but i can let reception know i'm staying there that night and give em my reg # if req'd.

I'll see wot time i get there and give you a bell for the SP, ok?.
