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.

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.

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.

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

Cheers Andy.

Steve did your daughter get to meet Rusty Goffe mate ?

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.

Nice one Steve, that's great to see mate
Beth's smiling and she's as big as him

That's an awesome picture and memory for Beth.

that's a great pic Steve

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.



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.

That's a great picture for you both to look back on as she gets older Steve
Awesome you got a few more autograph's for the collection mate

Looks like both you & Beth had a great day in Exeter.

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

I hope she likes it and it doesn't scare her too much

That's great James. Beth initially pulled a bit of a face, but she does like it and found it quite funny.

Nice photos Steve! Looks like a cool event.

Beth is super cute!

Thanks Christian.
