It is with deep sadness that we found out about the passing of a much loved previous guest, Gary Graham. Gary is known to many as Ambassador Soval in Enterprise.
Gary joined us for a special night with Chris Judge back in 2008, it was a Wednesday night and it was one of the most memorable events we ever ran. By the end of the night, spirits were high and he made us stay out well past our bed time. As we said our goodbyes at the end of the night, I remember Gary said to me "if you ever need a grumpy vulcan for another convention, just ask".
Rest well my Grumpy Vulcan friend!

One month today until we get to meet Patty "Astro Boy" Whitely!
Getting things ready for signing.
Show us what you're thinking of getting signed other than an 8x10.

Signature Sunday...last day of the year and we look back at the couple of shows we did this year, getting our feet wet as we head into year 20!
Looking towards 2024 and the amazing guests heading our way, had to show everyone these, all ready for April.

It is with much sadness that we woke to the news of the passing of a dear friend.
Richard Franklin played Capt Mike Yates alongside Jon Pertwee's 3rd Doctor in Doctor Who.
Richard was a guest of ours 9 years ago in Dec of 2014 at LOT3 and we had kept in touch over the years. He was gentle, kind and a delightful man who loved his fans and his time with us in Australia. He will be missed by many around the world.
Rest well dear friend, knowing that you added so much to the Doctor Who universe and Capt Yates will live on.
Enjoy the great convention in the sky alongside those that have passed before.
VALE Richard Franklin - 1936-2023
