You're doing an incredible Job Chaps, wish I could attend!

Will any of the discussion groups be filmed for any of us who cannot attend? I'd love to
Hear the opinions of the panel.

There are plans afoot to preserve some of these for posterity and those who cannot make it. Smile

Latest Update.

In addition to the Future of the Hobby Round Table there will be a Palitoy Team Q&A Session with luck this will be held on both days so that those who can only attend one day will be able to participate.

The composition of the Panel may vary based on availability of Palitoy Team Members that weekend but Bob Brechin has graciously agreed to chair the panel and we hope to have Dave Barnacle and Brian Turner present too.

Also to assist those who don't use Social Media like Facebook and Twitter I have setup a VERY BASIC Website that I can update with details to reduce time spent updating multiple forums you can check it out at http://amcon2016.weebly.com/

You fellas are a credit to our AM hobby, it's gotta be the best event in the History of Action Man and a very very important one, with this year being the toy's 50th Anniversary..

Privately hired small 'day trip' coaches might be the best answer to get there for members who live too far away, folks could club together to foot the bill Wink bounce

Thanks guys for all the comments I'm doing my best between working and sleeping unforunately a few ideas had to be let slide due to the time factor (or lack of it in my case) maybe next year if there is the demand I am happy to make a a 2 day event an annual feature in the collecting calendar!

That may well be an idea clivvers but might be a bit too close to the event to arrange now but people are welcome to try I'm afraid I have enough on my plate to arrange it myself! Sad

I really loved watching that video and the Action Man song though out the video was just perfect and it's very catchy song as well Laughing but I agree with my swapping buddy Clivvers that I couldn't see any MAM on display and it is the 50th anniversary of Action Man Sad.
