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 lol!  ) & scout for vintage goodies. 

I'll aim to take some pics of the event to share here. Very Happy

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

Enjoy, and good hunting. rockon

She did indeed Andy. Very Happy 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.  cheeky

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

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.]

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. Very Happy

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.
