Following up from yesterday's video update, the Auto Assembly team have issued the following press release
Auto Assembly
2011 Confirms Latest Guests And More...!
We've had
another couple of quiet months publicly for Auto Assembly, but as ever, we've
been
working frantically to make 2011 our biggest ever convention and we're ready to
unveil our
latest serious of announcements...
We've got
loads of things to announce and update all of you with on Europe's largest
Transformers convention including an announcement on two more guests
making an appearance this year, an update on a great panel that we'll be organising and
another update and surprise about Auto Assembly 2012...
Rather than
tell you all here, you can see all of them announced here in our latest new
video on
our Youtube Channel here:-
And that's
not all... we're having a bit of a video frenzy on Youtube this week! We've
uploaded
more footage from last year's convention and for those of you who weren't there,
or if you
want to see some of Saturday night's programme, you can now see our Cosplay
Competition
in it's entirety right here:-
We're going
to be uploading some more exclusive footage shortly including Garry Chalk's
concert and
the latest of our superb script reading sessions featuring Garry Chalk, Scott
McNeil and
comic artist Nick Roche!
We're doing a
lot more work on the convention at the moment as well and our Committee Head
Simon is
making inroads into catching up on all the paperwork following all of the
personal issues he has had to deal with over the last 8 months and as well as
working on some great stuff for Auto Assembly 2011 that we'll be announcing soon, we have
some fantastic plans ahead for Auto Assembly 2012 and beyond and you can expect to hear
more from us on these shortly...
You will have
noticed that our website hasn't been updated for some time and this has been
a direct
result of Simon's personal circumstances, but the site has just undergone a
major content update as well and you'll find all the latest news and
updates on the convention there, including our new promo poster / flyer
which you can download.
Finally, if
you have booked for Auto Assembly 2011 and still waiting for your confirmation
emails, we
are processing the final batch of these and they should be issued shortly.
Please
check your spam box as well as your inbox as we are aware that some mail
addresses (most notably hotmail and yahoo) do have some problems receiving
email from us.
We are also
trying to finalise the despatching of the AA2010 Non-Attendee Packages. The
delay of
these has been frustrating for us this time around and has been out of our
control. We
are looking to see if we can include extra items for everyone who has placed
orders for
them, but it is our intention to ship these in the next 3-4 weeks at the
latest.
Anyway, for
those of you who want to attend Auto Assembly 2011, tickets are available now
from our
website. Ticket prices are £50 for adults and £38 for children, students and
senior
citizens, with under 5s admitted free. One day tickets are available for the
Saturday or
Sunday (although these will NOT get you into the Friday or Saturday evening
programmes)
and these cost £30 for adults, £21 for children, students or senior citizens
and under
5's as always are free. Family tickets will be available shortly.
The
convention is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011 at the
Holiday Inn
Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England.
Tickets for
Auto Assembly 2012 will go on sale later this year.
