K&C UK @ LONDON MARCH 31st (1 Viewer)

[Tony Neville]

Guys

Just thought it was worth pointing out that for K&C UK are on the move again.................................. no not the business operation, at the London show.

For those of you that have got used to us in hall 'B' and against the far wall will now find us still in hall 'B' but around the corner (where the evening event was)

Why do this?

The back wall with the fire exits only allowed us a max of 10 tables!
With going into this other area we are creating a K&C ROOM of 14 tables that is 14 tables@6ft = 84ft of K&C!!! where in the world can you see that!! Louis is having a good go!

As the London show is OUR show we can put ourselves where we like and as such in the beginging when we introduced the new hall it was important to get the impact as you came in hall 'B'. It is felt (by me more that Bob, and Dad) that we can now put ourselves where we like.

I also like the idea of creating a K&C room. There will a banner over the entrance to it and we are also talking to some WWII WSS reinactors to stand on guard duty for a bit of 'Disney meets K&C' not that Disney would have WSS in his parks. But i think you get the 'jist' of what i am saying. 'Theatre darling, it's theatre'

So when you get to the show in London K&C UK is in HALL 'B' and turn LEFT into the annex room.

Welcome to the K&C UK Experience..........

Right near the bar!!.Love the idea of a K&C room,SOOOOOO many lovely tables to look at.So with all that space and if you get enough time(!)we may have a 'Charge' dio and an 'AK convoy'.My bank manager is going to start sending me xmas cards at this rate.Your not wrong about Disney,went last year and some of the girls on the Haunted house were very strict!

Sound like its going to be a great show,can't wait

Dios working on at the moment.........plus some commisions.

There will be available at the June show some small (approx 12"x12") dios for the first set of Crimean figures. They wil be retailing at at the moment i think £25 all made by me. they will be big enough for the the June and December releases.

We will be having St Johns on hand and strecthers for those get to excited.
In the middle of the room will be recovery beds at a 45degree angle to get blood flow back to the heads of those who get too dizzy.

Also Mke has just corrected me it is 15 tables thats 90FOOT of K&C!!!

regards

Tony

 

[Rob]

Hi Tony, I was just looking at your UK website and noticed that your categories in your list of products under "Toy Soldiers and Scale Models" are printed red on red. Which makes them rather difficult to read.

Has anyone noticed this before or is it some issue with my computer only.

Btw, you'll have to get real close to the screen to see what I'm talking about.

I just thought it would be a shame for you guys to lose sales because buyers had trouble seeing what you had.

 

[Tony Neville]

Hi Oz

Yes we have had it before and we found that the issue was the settings on the customers computer. The Site is set up for all Search Engines and also to be user friendly for the partially sighted. My IT guys says that the settings on some Search Engines does not allow this to be shown correctly.

What Search Engine, browser do you use? The last time this happened i beleive the guy was using Firefox and once he changed his settings he could see it all.

I can find out what the setting changes are as i cannot remember!

Cheers

Tony

 

[OzDigger]

Hi Tony, yes I use Firefox. Please advise what settings I need to change in due course.

By the way guy's we are looking at the possibility of having a live web cam...the 'K&C Cam' at the show so that guy's around the world and on this forum can still see the goings on in London......will keep you posted.

[Rob]

Will the models and figures be better than on other reality shows like Big Brother

 

[Rob]

I have often wondered if Big Brother live is the most tedious thing i've ever witnessed on TV.

Rob

OZ

Of course the Models will be better...............i will be in it!!!

Other areas of Tech we are looking at / having installed. Live links to London and qustions can be asked as it happens.

We will also have a cam at any of the K&C UK Events so you can be part of the event and again ask questions to Andy etc.

The LIVE LINK will be via the K&C UK website there will be asection for asking questions etc. Myself or Bob will be on the laptop to ask the questions for you and then likewise post back the answers.

We will also then have a webcam at the warehouse with an area to ask qustions etc

Cool hey

Tony

PS Works very well as a Security measure for When Rob acts as the Pink Panther and trys to get in and steal the Stash!!

 

[Rob]

I can see the video now.Me in huge bulging raincoat waddling towards the exit whilst everyone is looking the other way.Come to think of it that sounds like me anyway!!!!!

Love the idea of the UK shows webcam.Would love to see what the other shows are like.It all sounds great.Shows,evening do's,trips to K&C headquarters,IWM etc.I'd watch yourself Tony,when my wife hears about all this she's going to take out a contract on you!

I can hear her defence in court:

'Honestly M'lud,he was a bad influence on me poor innocent Usband so he was'!

Rob

 

[Tony Neville]

Rob

Does your wife wear pearls and skip and click her heels all the time. When she phones here she does not sound that Cockney!!

Mind she does mention 'over his dead body a lot'!

Tony

 

[Rob]

Tony,

LOL,She mentions that to me a lot too!.

Whenever you start organising Decembers shindig just let me know and i'll see what we can do at the IWM.

Rob

 

[Rob]

Hopefully plenty of us UK members can make it too,would be cool to have a big group shot at the IWM.(in front of Montys Grant to give Andy a hint)
