Ok well today is Bob Brechin’s Birthday which makes it as good a day as any in my book for an Action Man Announcement!

Also I think collectors could do with something to put a smile on our collective faces following the sad disappearance of Major Bob Tom during his epic Mission Mercury 10!

Some of you may have already had privileged glimpses, or heard rumours or done some extrapolation following the video I posted of the Palitoy Factory Site Tour and my slightly cryptic poetry a while back!

So without more ado you need to keep the weekend of December 3rd & 4th COMPLETELY FREE in your diary for Action Man’s 50th Anniversary Convention!

Which will be held in Coalville, Leicstershire former home of the Palitoy Factory.

More specifically, DRUM ROLL PLEASE, it will be held on the ACTUAL SITE of the old Palitoy Factory!

Watch this space for more details of Table Costs, Early Birds, Admission Times and prices, Hotel Pacakages etc.

Well today I have managed to secure a deal with a local hotel literally 5 minutes from the venue to get a modest discount on their usual room rate attendees. So contact me ASAP if you want to be in the main hotel. If this anything like the old Bovington Conventions there was lots of dealing and fun to be had in the hotel as well as the venue.

ROOM DEAL
£57 per room per night for Room Only Single or Double Occupancy.
Bed & Breakfast £60 Single Occupancy or £65 Double Occupancy per room per night.

There is a limited number of twins rooms so expect them to disappear quickly.

OK Today's first update I have finalised the Table Price as being £35 per 6 foot table for the whole weekend.

Until I can start on a floorplan I cannot say what the policy will be with regard to backing tables and "spreading out" so for now assume a 6 foot table means exactly that and no extras and book accordingly.

Thanks

Sorry for the long period of silence Summer Holidays were rather busy workwise so now I get some free time to work on this project and the Welsh Action Figure Show too!

I have now done something which I never thought I would which is open a Twitter account! Surprised

So feel free to follow @Action_Man_2016 for updates.

I'm not sure if this constitutes a "Celebrity Endorsement" or not but Al Murray has liked a Tweet I sent him about our event!

Just a quick note to say that the £64.00 postage on the Early Bird Ticket Auction was a typo it should have been £0.64 for First Class Postage and has now been corrected! Shocked

Latest Batch of Early Birds on Ebay and the last until I get a higher sellers allowance! Sad

Ironically there are more people watching this than there are tickets available!

It's been decided that the first 50 Early Birds purchased will be entered into a draw. The top prize will include 1 night's free hotel accommodation for either Friday or Saturday Night or both nights at half price if you prefer! ;-)

Jason any developments on your coming?

We are pleased to announce that Mr Bob Brechin will be conducting a Walking Tour of the Palitoy Factory site on both days of the Show (weather permitting). With luck he may persuade some of his former colleagues to join him so you can share anecdotes from more than one person! Very Happy
