I went to this event yesterday - held at Milton Keynes Dons Stadium. Some great guests: 'Five Doctor Who's' for a start in addition to Karen Gillan and other sci-fi stars. The only problem was the organisation of the event - queue after queue. If intending to attend one of these type of conventions its worth being prepared in advance. Buy your 'talk' and photo shoot tickets prior to the day if you can and be aware that, if it was like yesterday - the photos take 2 hours plus to be developed - this was not advised beforehand, so in effect I had to queue three times to get one photo!

I believe she was due to be there on Friday - I went on Saturday and did manage to have my photo taken with Karen Gillan - so queue was worth while!

My friend got Nichelle Daz. Of all the people she met, Nichelle was the only one who would not do a posed picture with her.

hope the ques didnt spoil your enjoyment too much. I really wanted to go on Saturday to get a photoshoot with Karen but unfortunately didn't get there until Sunday.
From what I can gather the ques were a lot smaller on Sunday. I had two photoshoots but couldn't hang around to pick them up. Didn't think it was too bad when they said it would cost 2 punds to have them posted to me until I realised that was per photo.
I'd love to see you photoshoot pic with Karen if you can post a scan of it?

Sorry to say but my scanning skills are not good - suffice to say though that she was lovely - no surprise there!
