ANY REVIEWS OF SHADOWSFIX?

Were you growling or was that coincidental ?

You can paint what ever picture you like Rob - but your group did not have seats 1 - 2, and the group new it.

"Wanting to be with my mates" is not an excuse to take other peoples seats just like your mate on the train.

Thanks to Alan for the updates on Facebook.
Great to see my friend Phil back on stage again.

Was there any recording done of the show please

Many thanks

You don't get the best pics from a phone, but as I was seated at the front (I did have tickets 1 & 2), just thought I'd take a few as the evening progressed.

Maybe next time we can have the seat police to eject these "intruders". God sake let us not get so petty about such an insignificant thing, it was so bad I had to sit on the stage.
It was a great weekend so enjoy the good things and forget the minor stuff

A HUGE thank you to Justin and his parents, Amanda and all the Friday night organisers for what was a well run event. Lets hope we can do it all again next year.

What if....
the chairs were numbered as well as the tables next year ?
Would it remove doubt ?

[Amanda]

Point noted for next year - number seats or put the names on the seats, mind you people can still move
the numbers / names..

It's a steep learning curve, gives you a new appreciation for what Bruce did with Shadowmania..

Ecca - 'growling' photo?? LOL. Coincidence. 'Seats Gate' (I have PMd Mark - agree with Ron...need to keep a sense of proportion) - did NOT spoil my enjoyment of the whole event...which I would say, was an unqualified and huge success. Many thanks to Justin, Amanda and everyone else who helped out behind the scenes.And a massive 'THANK YOU' to Jayne, who was taken ill and could not attend.

Bests....Rob

These things only ever become apparent when something goes wrong, Ecca (and Amanda).

Whatever anyone thinks they "know" about the seating plan, they are in fact working on assumption and assumption only, because the seats simply were not numbered.

As it happens, there have always been similar problems at Lakeside, since the seats are not numbered there either. What tended to happen was that the first arrivers would take the (better) seats facing the stage and those of us who are not in the habit of sitting expectantly in a seat for an hour before curtain up generally got the seats where you get a crick in your neck trying to see the show. Either that or you had to rotate the chair through 180 degrees and ignore your friends at the table.

I have great sympathy for Mark and his wife and I did temporarily reserve some spaces at the stage end of table 13 for them (they weren't suitable for other reasons). In my opinion, we owe them one and life's definitely too short to fall out over stuff like this.

I know !
A 600mm frame fixer so as to fasten every seat down in its proper place,
People could be searched as they went in for screwdrivers.
