Anyone up for meeting up during Memorabilia in March?
I'm actually thinking of going this year, probably driving down.

My bro and I seem to have a habit of attending, regardless of meets. So we will be around if anyone wants to say hi.
See how big the gathering becomes before saying how late we'd stay, though.

Oh yeah, it doesn't have to turn into naming TFs until the small hours or anything like that. But I thought it'd be cool to meet up during the day, say hello, grab a quick beverage.

Cool. We'll confirm a bit closer, and I still have your number should the day arrive unexpectedly, as days are prone to do.

Is it worth going? I last went in 08 I think, and it was expensive and tiny  You used to be able to spend a pleasant day there |

Last time I went was 2003, and just on the Sunday.

We don't expect much from it, tbh. It's just a day out for us. A wander, a laugh, and a drink.
Meeting up with you lovely folk will easily make it far more appealling.

It's too close to Swincon for me to afford so I must pass also.

I'd been thinking about going to Memo for a couple of years, but I think I too am going to have to pass. Perhaps another year.

I've never been to one of these - are the dealer room similar to BICS or Comic expo?

I think Memorabilia is more of a general memorabilia fair whereas the Comic Expo focuses more on comics.
Though the last time I went, it was looking more like a flea market selling any old crap than the "ooh, expensive, rare collector's items" it used to be.

It's hit and miss, definitely. The fist couple my bro and I went to, we came out with bags of stuff. The last few times we haven't been inclined to get anything.

I have a question: Is there a train directly from New Street to the NEC?
I'm weighing up whether to drive or not, considering the car park fees at the NEC.

£10 isn't too bad. But if you want to pre-book, it's £15. |

Is a meet up here still a possibility?

I am 78.4% going.
There's some hobby/sewing/craft fair on at the same time and my parental units haven't decided which day they're going and I promised to look after their dog... once that decision's been made, then I can decide. I was too quick to volunteer before I realised the dates.

Miiiiight be going, though given how much I've recently splurged, I think I need to be conserving my funds for Swincon and the like!

Cool. We're definitely still going, too. Have to give each other a bell on the day.
Anyone else?
