I'm in a quandary, which colors to choose! How can I just get one? Pink, green, blue? Great looking tee's Scott. This is the bigger question Paula. One of every colour is tempting. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I ordered three of the Servalan t-shirts for Maximum Power. A girl has to hijack Doctor Who conventions and needs the proper attire for doing so. Can't just let the Mutoids do it all! Resist the Host

Just confirmed our t-shirt order with Scott. Scott has outdid himself this year with not only the Travis tee but the Hugbot tee. I had to have both! Looking forward to wearing them. Especially our beloved Hugbot!

Ticket News and Additional Guest Announcement! Hi all, a couple of quick updates for you: MORE TICKETS: This just in from Central Control. A very limited amount of tickets have been added to our EventBrite page for SEEK LOCATE CELEBRATE on Sunday June 9th: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/seek-l...9898755557 Last minute Guest Announcement: Team Blake are very pleased to announce that Alistair Lock will be joining us for 'Seek Locate Celebrate' on Sunday June 9th. Alistair will be taking part in the Q&A and signing autographs during the day. Alistair is a well-respected audio professional possibly best known for his work on the Big Finish Blake's 7 and Doctor Who audio adventures, he has been the voice of ZEN and ORAC since the beginning of the Big Finish Blake's 7 audio journey. Most recently he was involved with, the soon to be released, Worlds of Blake's 7 'TARRANT' audio box set. His association with Blake's 7 dates back much further to when he was the director/sound designer on Magic Bullet's Kaldor City series and the Logic of Empire, Mark of Kane and Travis: The Final Act audio plays. Prior to this, he has worked on a number of independent Doctor Who stories produced during the television series' hiatus. Credits include BBV's Doctor Who spin-off audio plays, notably "Republica" and "Prosperity Island", along with direct-to-video releases, including "The Airzone Solution", "More than a Messiah" and the "Auton" trilogy series. He also did post-production on the popular UNIT video story "Downtime".

Hi is there a Travelodge or similar nearby? Also anyone staying nearby (Saturday night)? Thank you OVZ Hi, There is a Premier Inn and a Marriott close to Steventon, a lot of people will be staying at one of these. They are adjacent to each other and are on the bus route from Didcott Station to Steventon. The Marriott's details are:https://www.marriott.com/en-gb/hotels.../overview/ And the Premier Inn details are: https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hote...idcot.html The pubs in Steventon usually offer rooms and there are a few small guesthouses, but it is debatable whether these will have any space, we do rather take over the area on these weekends. Other helpful info for the weekend below: VENUE: Steventon Village Hall, The Green, Steventon, Abingdon OX13 6RR Steventon is a village in South Oxfordshire, approximately ten miles south of Oxford, and between the towns of Abingdon, Didcot and Wantage. The Hall is situated on the main road through Steventon on the corner of the very large Village Green. CAR PARKS: There are 3 small car parks in the village – one at the village hall (OX13 6RR), the school (OX13 6SQ) and on the left at the start of Milbank Way (OX13 6FF) as well as various on street parking. All the car parks listed above are free, but not that big. Can we please ask anyone coming by car to park with due consideration to the village residents, not blocking footpaths/ driveways etc, it would be very much appreciated. CASH/CARDs (FEDERATION BANKING INFO): We have had a few enquiries regarding methods of payment. Cash payments will be required for the autograph sales, and most other event activities. Coinage would be appreciated for the various raffles, tombola’s, charity sales table, food and drink, etc. Team Blake is hoping to be able to accept limited Paypal Payments for the Auction items, but this is yet to be confirmed. Some of the vendors ‘may’ have the facility to take card payments but it would be best to assume that cash is preferred. Please note there is wi-fi in the hall, but it quickly gets overwhelmed if too many people are using it, so don't rely on it for transactions. There is a free cash machine situated in the nearby Co-Op, open from 7.00am – 10.00pm on Sundays, where ‘cash back’ is also available. Co-Op 8-10 High St, Steventon, Abingdon OX13 6RS FOOD & DRINK: Please find the following options for food and drink availability in and around the event on Sunday 9th June. These are just a few options, if you have any questions please post or message and we will do our best to answer them. AT THE VENUE: FISH & CHIP VAN – We are pleased to welcome the popular chip van back to Steventon, serving hot food and drinks in the village hall car park for a limited time, for exact times and how to order ask at registration on the day. TEA / COFFEE / COLD DRINKS / BASIC SNACKS – will be available in the village hall cafe in the Fan Zone. FOOD IN THE VILLAGE: Booking strongly advised for pub food in the village as they are liable to close if there's not much business. The Fox Inn - Pub/Restaurant - Booking Advised 29 High St, Steventon, Abingdon OX13 6RZ 01235 833151 Cherry Tree -Pub/Restaurant - Booking Advised 33 High St, Steventon, Abingdon OX13 6RZ 01235 831222 Co-Op - Shop / Store Sun: 7am - 10pm 8-10 High St, Steventon, Abingdon OX13 6RS FOOD OPTIONS FURTHER AFIELD: At the Milton Interchange (aka Milton Gate) there's McDonalds, Costa Coffee, M&S and a Miller & Carter Restaurant. It's about a mile away and is also where the Premier Inn and Marriott hotels are located. TRANSPORT: Just a little info with regards to travel, fingers crossed everything is running normally that weekend. Oh, for a working Teleport system! The nearest Railway Station to the venue is Didcot Parkway, and buses run regularly from there to Steventon Green (just by the hall). The route numbers are X2 and X36. If anyone wants specific info, we will do our best to enquire. Taxis are available from the rank at the station but it's probably wise to book a return journey for Sunday pm. Richard Putley, not only a steadfast Blake’s 7 fan, but he also knows his way around trains! Richard suggests that anyone going to SEEK-LOCATE-CELEBRATE, who's not yet bought a train ticket, uses www.nationalrail.co.uk It will direct you to one of the train companies website if you wish to buy a ticket online. DO NOT USE the Trainline as their data is sometimes inaccurate and they charge a booking fee. Whereas most of the Train Operators, particularly who serve Didcot Parkway do not ( gwr.com ). Any queries about rail travel Richard has kindly said he would do his best to answer them. https://www.facebook.com/.../1684530....008156636) For other queries about the Steventon one of the Team Blake members is local to the area so if more information is required, please reply below or send a message and we will do our best to answer any queries. Not long to go now, see you soon. Thank you from all at Team Blake. Edited by scott on 02-06-2024 18:27 |

Have fun at the convention! Unfortunately, I can't make it this year (again!). If anyone has planned to bring along some prawn cocktail crisps for me, I think there will be some attendees happy to take them instead. Just look out for the fanzine stall. Just a pity that OSP isn't there, otherwise I'd suggest that you give them to her instead. Let's hope I'll be able to make it next time. It's been a long time and I'm missing the old gang! |

If anyone (ok, I admit it, I have some ready here for you) was to consider bringing extra PC Pringles to S-L-C, if they are undelivered they will simply return to my stockpile...(OSP has already chickened out of attending or she would have been the prime candidate)... unless a certain lady with the fanzines has forgotten hers. But I'm sorry you won't be with us - I wanted to thank you in person for all the cartoons - not just TT's adventures, because they're amazing, but all the fun you give us. Thanks, Huggy, and yes, let's hope you can make it next time. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Really wanted to meet you That's such sad news! But the most important thing is that your leg gets the chance to recover properly. Hoping things improve for you asap. Thank you M179, bit gutted really, but you never know, luck, rest, exercise, might be there. I plan to live forever,or die trying.

Checking the websites of the Fox and the Cherry Tree, neither serves food past five on Sundays - anyone on the ground in Steventon want to confirm/deny? Assuming this is true, I'm happy to coordinate a group booking somewhere else. Last time we all ended up at the Beefeater, so that seems as good an option as any. Drop me an email at ruth.d.wall+slc@gmail.com if you're interested. |

Have fun at the convention! Unfortunately, I can't make it this year (again!). If anyone has planned to bring along some prawn cocktail crisps for me, I think there will be some attendees happy to take them instead. Just look out for the fanzine stall. Just a pity that OSP isn't there, otherwise I'd suggest that you give them to her instead. Let's hope I'll be able to make it next time. It's been a long time and I'm missing the old gang! Oy! Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

If anyone (ok, I admit it, I have some ready here for you) was to consider bringing extra PC Pringles to S-L-C, if they are undelivered they will simply return to my stockpile...(OSP has already chickened out of attending or she would have been the prime candidate)... unless a certain lady with the fanzines has forgotten hers. But I'm sorry you won't be with us - I wanted to thank you in person for all the cartoons - not just TT's adventures, because they're amazing, but all the fun you give us. Thanks, Huggy, and yes, let's hope you can make it next time. Oy 2! Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Hello Everyone, This is my first post but I should have joined years ago. I don't get excited about things these days, (it started a while after they fitted the limiter) however, I am really looking forward to attending the convention on Sunday. B7 has been a 'part of my life' since watching the TV series as a boy. I watched it rather simplistically back then, I was invested in the charisma of Blake, his mission to defeat the baddies and the amazing concept of The Liberator. It was only later, in my 20s when the series was released on VHS, that I discovered the profound brilliance of the script and the acting properly. Blake was no longer the focus, he was just the glue that held a wonderful cast together. The perfect foil to Avon releasing Avon to be the perfect foil to everyone else The show could shift effortlessly between real tension and clever comedy when it needed to, the contrast intensifying both, hence so many episodes have a real rollercoaster ride feel to them, especially if you don't remember what's going to happen next! Anyway, I wanted to thank the members of this forum for keeping something I love so alive after so many years. In addition, to thank all those who have the passion and enthusiasm to organise events like the one on Sunday (thanks especially to Scott and Hazel who took the time to contact me). I only found out by pure chance but I am delighted to have a ticket and it means a lot to me...life isn't much fun sometimes but this will be! Thank you, and see you soon.

Due to unforeseen sad circumstances I unfortunately had to cancel my flight and will not be able to attend the convention. I feel sad about not meeting you again. But I'm wishing you all a wonderful experience and I will be there in spirit. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Great to have you back aboard, Paul. And it's OK to get excited. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
