All.
Advance notice from the organiser, KnightCon 2012 is on again, It's the 30th anniversary of Knight Rider!!!!
Dates are 99% confirmed, slightly early in the year, the VIP evening with a chance to meet the guests is Friday 31st August, with the main event on Saturday 1st September.
Pretty much all sci-fi is presented so there's no excuse to be bored.
The event will be at:
Xscape
Colorado Way, Castleford, West Yorkshire WF10 4TA
http://www.xscape.co.uk/yorkshire/
The Premier Inn which is just across the car park was where most overnight attendees stayed, reduced KnightCon rates TBC.
Seeing as there's no official club gathering this year, I'd hope to see as many club cars as possible.

...This is a long way for me to attend, but i'm so curious, I might just pull out all the stops and come up. Since i'll still have LEX down this way. Lets hope the weather will be good for it. Seems to be that currently, everything round about now is going to turn out to be a weather washout!

Richard.
That's a real shame, I hope it's not for a competing DMC event I haven't seen ?!

Not another event John, no. But I am at the opposite end of the country.
Shame really, the event was amazing last year, real good fun. I can recommend it to anyone.

well as long as we are free, Phill and I should be able to attend - hopefully I'll
be in my De this year too.
Rissy, if you can make it, you'll have an awesome day - just check out the photos in the Winter

Just had notification from work that I'm going to be expected to go to Belgium at some point between Aug 22nd and Sep 7th, for 2-3 days, and then again at some point near the end of Sep for 3-4 weeks. No doubt this event opportunity will be ruined for me by my work....but we'll wait and see. I hope not.

I've checked the diary, and this clashes with another event we're already booked in for.
Shame they moved the date of this John, looks like its gonna have a detrimental effect
on the DOC-UK turnout this year

Stapleford Carnival, its a local one to us in Nottinghamshire that we promised the organisers we'd do
as we missed it last year.

At this moment in time it looks to just be DaveH and I for this event
A quick update, the organisers have been asked that display cars arrive by 07:00....07:00 that's even earlier than Carfest!!!!
On the plus side they are offering onsite security patrolling and barriers around the cars...
Any late entries ?

its just a shame its clashing with another event (and RichH being elsewhere),
otherwise you'd have the three cars of the 'usual suspects' on display too.
Tell em to put it back to its usual end Sept/early Oct date for next year 8)
