Just wish I could justify the cost of a 'team' photo........... oh well, I suppose I'll just have to make do with a photo with Thomas (life's tough eh? ) Yeah not sure I can afford to get a photo/auto with the others either.. and I'd feel bad getting one with one of them and not the others... but might get one for Amos don't know yet. Still worried they might cancel it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enaira 0 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Awwwww... this Con is postponed to August 22-23... I am so truly sorry for all of you, I would've loved to hear your tales and see you RAWarriors on the pics. Considering the current situation it's a logical decision but it hurts all the same. Meeting TJ is decidedly not an easy thing. But is there something beautiful that is easy to reach? I hope you'll all have time (and TJ as well) in August. In the meantime, take the lock down seriously... cases are increasing exponentially if social contacts are maintained. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gail 0 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Aw nuts......that sucks big time I guess it's the only logical thing to do given the current situation with The Virus and, in the back of my mind, I've been expecting this news all week. I was so excited to be going but now I just hope Thomas will be able to attend in August, the wait will be worth it I'm sure. I echo Ariane's sentiment though - stay safe and well all you RAWarriors, follow the advice and I hope you and yours all come through it unscathed. x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CJ Mitchell 0 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 After hearing Birmingham being postponed I was waiting to hear from Telford. In a way this means more time to save for more photo ops so there is that good news, but like you both say its also hoping guests like Tom can still go. - This is also the weekend I get back from a holiday as well so worried my parents won't be up to driving us there as they'll be picking us up from the holiday destination the day before and that's a 3 hour drive. But yeah, stay safe all and its good to see these places have everyone's safety at heart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff 0 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Echo everyone's sentiments on being safe. Aug attendance might be tricky I'm afraid but we are looking at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicole 0 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Obviously, I am disappointed on behalf of everyone who bought tickets, and had made travel and accommodation arrangements, especially you @Gail and @Geoff but I do agree that it's the sensible thing to do. On the upside, the end of August may well be viable for me, so y'know, all is not lost! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gail 0 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thanks Nicole - I’m desperately disappointed (obviously) but there really was no other option. However, clearly every cloud does have a silver lining after all, would be fantastic to meet up if August works for you!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enaira 0 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 This is good news indeed. I might be available as well! Except if the said beer judging exam is postponed to that exact same date... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gail 0 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Excellent news Ariane! That would be awesome!!!!!! (If you could come over, not the beer exam thing double booking - that would be terrible!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Al. 0 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'm so sorry for you I understand the feeling... But it's for the best, for sure. Hope you'll all be able to make it in August. Be safe and take care of all your loved ones Due to all the cancellations/reports hapenning for the next months, there's a chance I might be available as well at that time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And if you could come too we could have a proper ‘RAW meet’ (hope Nicole hasn’t trademarked that phrase yet! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How disappointed I was... Of course life goes on and of course we all have our own busy lives to live. Meeting TJ is just the cherry on the cake. But still it hurts. I'm with you RAWarriors.

Gail 0 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I remember that well Ariane, I guess in a way that was worse as it was TJ (and not the event) that cancelled. It does sting a bit but it will make it all the sweeter when I do finally see him face to face! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I might have mentioned it before: the chemistry was right from the start and I enjoy the electronic interactions we have until then. I really hope we'll meet again. The feeling I described did all take place before the Con. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gail 0 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Well, it’s a beautiful sunny day here in the UK and under normal circumstances the weather would have perfectly matched my mood, as right now I should have been on my way to Telford and preparing to meet my idol, the one and only Mr Thomas Jane. As it is, I’m a teensy bit grumpy for obvious reasons I’m well aware however that in the grand scheme of things this is nothing, and there are lots of people with far bigger problems to whom my heart goes out, I just needed to vent ever so slightly amongst friends who I hope understand. Roll on August! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
