Well done Nick for helping to organise these events.Don is a great speaker and has some great tales to tell which are delivered with clarity and passion. His book is also a very good read. Let's all get behind Nick and give him our support. |

Please support this event. Don is a great guy, a fun speaker and the book is a good read.We hosted Don once and the lines were great and the feedback all positive. |

I will definitely be at the Space Centre on the Saturday. Working on getting the day off next year for the London lecture. |

Tickets are selling nicely for the event at the National Space Centre in Leicester with quite a few opting for the whole day packages, still room for more so don't be shy. Drop by for breakfast, lunch or a professional photo shoot.After some early feedback from the London event it is now possible to attend the lecture £20.00 members/£25.00 non-members without the inclusion of the book.Many collectors already have Don's book "Orbit of Discovery" so the option is now there to attend without purchasing the lecture/book package.There will still be copies of Don's book available on the night and for those that have pre-ordered the package your books are already reserved. Other shuttle related books and collectibles will also be available to purchase. |

Nick, bit of a dumb question but are we able to purchase tickets for the event at the National Space Centre on the day? I am planning on attending but work can guarantee the time off until the day before. |

Breakfast and lunch tickets may be available on the day but there may not be a choice of meals as we have to submit meal choices by the 19th Feb., over 100 meals sold. Q&A session well over 100 sold. Autograph and photo shoots doing nicely too... don't leave it too late. Still some tickets for the BIS in London too. We are limited to only 50 seats there so if you are thinking of booking, don't delay. Lecture only tickets are available. |
