Exeter Film & Comic Con.
Are any of our UK members able to attend this event? [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I'll be there on Saturday & Sunday mornings in order to get some autographs, satisfy my daughters desire to meet Rusty Goffe (as an Oompa Lumpa, not a SW charcter
) & scout for vintage goodies.
I'll aim to take some pics of the event to share here.![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png)

Looks like it would be fun. Unfortunately, it may be a little too far, for me to make it.
Enjoy, and good hunting.

Thanks Clint. If I bumped into you there I would fall over with shock as that would be one hell of a distance to travel. ![lol!](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/lol.gif)

Re: Exeter Film & Comic Con.
sadly, as already discussed with you Steve, I will not be able to attend due to family commitments
But hopefully we can hook up at another event, some time in the near future

Don't worry about it Chris, I'm sure we'll have plenty of other opportunities to meet up. ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png)

Re: Exeter Film & Comic Con.
That's a decent line up of guests Steve
Have a good one mate, I hope you get the autographs you want for your collection and maybe find a vintage bargain as well

Re: Exeter Film & Comic Con.
She did indeed Andy.
Beth was a little shy, but Rusty was very friendly and engaged her in conversation. I'll post a proper pic tomorrow, but here's one where Rusty was having a bit of fun with her.

Rusty counted to three for me to take the photo, then covered her face as I pressed the shutter.

Re: Exeter Film & Comic Con.
Thanks Andy, Clint & Chris.
Here's the proper pic of Beth with Rusty & her autographed pic.
There were a couple of stalls with a decent selection of vintage SW. One of them had a moc Trilogo Jawa, but it was a little out of my price range.![cheeky](/users/3513/12/48/66/smiles/2580757058.gif)
I obtained 4 new OT autographs for the collection which I'll add to this thread: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Is Beth a Willy Wonka fan ?
Thanks James, and yes, Beth is a fan BIG TIME (& Roald Dahl books in general). When I mentioned that I had met an Oompa Loompa to Beth a few years ago, everytime she see's the film I get asked to point out Rusty. So when Beth got the chance to finally meet him, it was a little dream come true for her.

We had fun Clint (it was Beth's first con), but we were only able to stay for about an hour due to other comitments.

I didn't do a very good job with this but I tried to make Beth a Oompa Loompa
