Baitac Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I used my real name and then my board game next to it. The guy who registered me had no computer skills and was unable to put my board game under my real name. It looked stupid but what the heck. I just want people to know my real name as I am meeting them in RL. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebble thats Stubby Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Damnit! Due to the bastard Glasgow Commonwealth Games next summer, my work has pretty much cancelled all July annual leave. This means more people applying for June/August leave, and x1 too many have applied for the dates I need for worldcon. I won't know if I can come until we pull names out of a hat. :< Goodluck, ah if only you where independent and quit the commonwealth as well. I hope you can still make it. If you have allready bought membership then if the worst happens you should have no problem selling it. If you haven't got one yet, you have a while until the next price hike so hopefully time to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've not bought anything yet, was waiting until the leave book for next year opened up. I didn't expect there to be a problem though. To rub salt in the wounds, I'd volunteered to help with the policing of the games in my (unpaid) capacity as a special constable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I don't think I'm going to be able to make this one. :( It's just too late in the summer, and god knows that if I miss some of the boring district-mandated professional development I'll fail at being able to put my kids in a circle, or something. I am hoping to travel to London anyway, but probably at least a week earlier than the con. If anyone else is planning to get in early let me know, it'd be nice to see people.

palimpsest. Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I will be there because my research is rad! I don't know about my +1 yet, and my ticket will probably have to wait until January, but I'm 99% sure I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat, I'm going a week early. I'm going to have to leave right after for work too. I'll be in at least 10 days prior, but will be going to Cropredy the weekend before the Con. I'm getting my membership next friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tully Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I sincerely hope to be there, and have a supporting membership. I do not want to miss my chance to cheerlead the OHBAF game. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Quick nudge for those intending to attend: Hotel bookings open on the 2nd January at 16:00 UK time. Con memberships are selling extremely well, so you will have to move fast to get the booking you want. There are numerous con hotels, but the cheaper ones and the ones closest to the con centre will sell out very quickly indeed. You can enter a lottery for rooms in the Aloft, the closest hotel, which will be drawn on the 17th Jan - but you'll need a backup booking just in case. Remember that there are no con activities planned in any hotel so to that extent it doesn't really matter which you book. Remember also that to a UK hotel, a twin is a twin: you will not be able to fit two people in each bed and two on the floor, there isn't the space, and the hotel will not be happy if you try. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Do you know if there will be any triple rooms (family rooms or whatever), or will it just be twin rooms and singles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 The Ramada has some suites available: they have double or twin beds plus a sofa bed. The Ibis Styles London Excel has some apartments that sleep four. The Novotel has triples available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
