Got a bank statement today. Someone sent £161 on the 9th with the ref: N & PMR and Mrs SJ. No idea who they are! Why can't they give something easily recognisable?

Also got £320 - Advice Confirms - no idea!

Unless these folks make themselves known they may well turn up at the dinner and lecture only to be turned away and their monies returned.

In an e-mail I received this evening Ken asked... "Can you make it known that JL is prepared to do another talk on Sunday Nov. 1st. if enough people are interested? Can anyone interested let me have names, I do not want payment yet until I know how many."

Ken's contact details can be found at the beginning of this thread.

So there you have it. If you are one of those disappointed at missing out on a lecture ticket to see Capt Lovell there may well be a second bite of the cherry.

There is still no news yet on whether or not there will be a second lecture on the Sunday.

In excess of 100 people have registered an interest in the second lecture and inevitably more will follow both at the Collins event in April and during the interim.

There is nothing to stop folk already booked for the first lecture... registering their interest in attending the second.

I expect the photo shoot guys will be there and the second lecture would provide a second autograph opportunity.

While October may be a long way off, Ken is conscious that Lovell is a very popluar man and in demand. It is only fair that if we are to proceed with a second lecture we should let Lovell and his agent know as soon as possible.

Ken is currently waiting to hear whether a contingent of RAF pilots and personnel "in multiples of 10" will be attending. If so, we should be good to go to the next level. If other members are considering the second lecture please e-mail Ken as soon as possible.

The venue and the trappings are the same. Timings are slightly different; Ken is conscious that people travelling a distance, with work the next day, will not want to get home late.

To that end, the schedule for Sunday only will be as follows;

• 11:00 - 11:45 a.m. - Photo Shoot
  
• 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. - Lecture
  
• 1:15 - 3:00 p.m. - Autograph Signing

Please NOW send payment for tickets, plus an extra £1 for postage (or a self-addressed envelope).

Booking Capt. Lovell is one thing; we now have to pay.

It's worh remembering, the sooner you pay, the nearer the front you will be seated.

All tickets for the Eileen Collins and James Lovell events have been posted to those who supplied a stamped addressed envelope or £1 extra if paid by BACS. Those who didn't can pick them up on the day.

Someone called Elke Bailey has paid £81 by BACS but I don't have an address for her/him nor an e-mail. Can you spread the word for them to let me have one? There is also someone called C.E. Lambert and I still haven't heard from A. Clewes, either.

Ironman, regarding the Lovell photoshoot on Sunday, the timings I think are a bit "fluid." For the Fred Haise lecture people started arriving two hours before we were officially open. On top of which we are not expecting a full house for the second Lovell lecture. Currently we have just over half so naturally the photoshoot will be proportionately shorter.

That said, if we continue to push on through 300 and more for Sunday I am sure we can "tweak" the timings and I'll be sure to notify folks on collectSPACE accordingly.

The timings in general for the Sunday are significantly earlier than the Saturday to allow people time to get home early in advance of work the next day so there is plenty of slack to play with.

Seats will be allocated with payment, not promise. The sooner payments are made the nearer the front people will be seated.

He will now no longer mail the 80 or so outstanding. Reserved tickets are now back in the mix and will be allocated only upon receipt of payment.

This applies to the second Lovell lecture only. The first is fully SOLD OUT and the tickets have already been mailed out.

Such was the success of the backdrop competition for Eileen's event we would like to do the same for October.

There are still 5 months to go so there is plenty of time to get those designs in. Rather than mail them directly to me I think it only fair that any/all designs should be posted here for all to see and comment on. The winning design will be selected from those posted on this thread.

Considerations should include Capt. Lovell's mission patches and their placement, and how the subjects will be "framed" by detail in the background.

I think it safe to say a predominantly light ground works best; Eileen's backdrop took a black fine point Sharpie really well.

This forum is blessed with some very talented guys and I am really looking forward to seeing the fruits of their efforts.
