What does booking a ticket in advance result in? Something to print and take with you?

Ralph has been reminded that he has Phil's copies of Blake's 7: Afterlife and Maximum Power which he needs to return.

If anyone who is coming to BIG would like to purchase a copy of Gymshoe let me know and I will bring one down for you.
You can get it signed by the whole team.
There will be badges too.
Mr Marshall, you have a comp copy set aside for you.

Yes, please. The only reason I hadn't ordered one online was for that very reason and then I forgot to ask. I definitely need a fully signed and badged up version.

Alternatively theres one here NCP car park, Horsefair MSCP, Bow Street, Birmingham, B1 1DW seems to be a flat rate of £5.50 a day. Though I dont know if thats by the day or 24 hours. Assuming we are around China town its the same distance as the new street car park. Theres pretty much a car park on every road around the area though so it shouldnt be a problem find somewhere to park. |

ill have to grab a postcode off you for whereabouts you'll be, then I can just find a car park when I'm near according to the satnav!

That's heartening to know. I was looking at where to try and park. I've got a long drive so I'm going to set off early to avoid holiday weekend traffic and perhaps aim to meet those at the Ibis for breakfast if they'll sell to non residents.

This is a good question.
Andy and Ralph would you mind if I left a bag in your room Saturday? At least for the comiccon bit of the day.

What's your ETA Andy? I can probably be in Birmingham in the evening, though I must be in work all day now. My whereabouts depends entirely on whether I wake up early enough to work from Birmingham. I've been in Brum 3 days this week so far!
When you get to Bham, your first point of call should be Forbidden Planet to see if they've still got £10 Omegas and £15 Mechanoids!

What?! £10 for the whole third doctor set? It'd be worth that just to get a second Drashig. One for each hand!

I am about half-finished with my pre-inspection cleaning. I should be done by early afternoon tomorrow so I will likely be able to head over for between three and four to join forces with you Andy
My inspection on Saturday is apparently "09:30 to 10:30", so allowing for train times I figure I'll be through at New Street around middayish for banter and shenanigans.

Those three sets came out just at the point the range peaked. They must have massively over ordered them to be still clearing them.
This is a serious consideration. My Omega has two left hands. Couldn't be bothered to send the whole set back just to fix that.
