​​​​​WELCOME TO OUR DISAPPEARING PLANET





Guess who invited me round for a cuppa?!

Only Amanda Barrie!


WHAT is going on in the world of Conventions????

So it's been an eventful year or two for EM CON and Lee Wallis!

Following on from an incident involving his partnership
with Lee Bradley which went south and is
well documented we now have reports
of unpaid refunds from his show in Nottingham earlier this year.

Added to that Worcester Comic Con was a washout
and he cancelled Derby due to low ticket sales.

Something tells me all is not well with EM CON.

Despite his protestations and attempts
to deflect the blame it still sounds like he is
moving deck chairs on the Titanic!

As for his deluded supporter who has said
"I’m sure all will come out in the wash
and we can all say told you so!"

Look at this blithering idiot’s response…
 

 Autograph Giraffe - keeping it real!!!

And some more failed shows.....

Charmed Again - CANCELLED
Heroes and Villains (London) - CANCELLED
SFB24 - Peterborough - CANCELLED
NessCon - CANCELLED
Peterborough Comic Con - CANCELLED
EM-Con - CANCELLED
Elstree Comic Con - CANCELLED 
Geekedfest Events - CANCELLED

And the weirdest of them all........

London Film and Comic Con - CANCELLED!!!!

They have cited 'Brexit' in their Facebook ramblings!

Which is strange as Jamie at Wales Comic Con is going from
strength to strength
this December having to hire a much bigger venue!

While Wales Comic Con has got that sweet smell of success
or as Nana Giraffe says
'Like fresh hot homemade bread coming out the oven'
it looks like
London Film and Comic Con
is toast!

After seeing the videos of their Sheffield show which was



And 21 guests 'cancelling' their previous (or in their case.... LAST) London Film and Comic Con...

RIP Jason Joiner!

A HUGE thank you to everyone involved in CovCon Junior!!
The volunteers, celebrity guests and attendees
who made it a great day.

The usual relaxed affordable experience that

"I had a great day at CovCon.
It was so lovely to meet so many wonderful people
 who came to enjoy the day.
 I couldn’t believe the effort they made to dress up as their
 favourite characters from the movies.
 The costumes were amazing.
Thanks to all the people who bought pictures for the animal charity
 Our Disappearing Planet.
Such an important cause and one that desperately needs
our attention before its too late."

Caught up with some old friends
and made a lot of new ones"

"Working with Our Disappearing Planet is always a joy.
Their shows are always relaxed and great fun
and they look after everyone fabulously well.
Of course, this is a cause that couldn't be closer to my heart
 and one that's becoming increasingly important to support.
 In that regard, Gary's awareness was miles ahead of everyone else
 and I greatly respect his dedication.
The personalities I have met and made friends with
 at these particular events have been wonderful
to work with and we have a great time meeting lovely people".

Heather Ripley

The fans were brilliant, the staff were
super friendly and passionate,

IMPORTANT NEWS

It has come to our attention that 
fantasist
Matthew Campbell



is using
Our Disappearing Planets
good name and reputation
to try and sign up some of our celebrity supporters 
to his agency M&M Famous Faces

Using a charity to better yourself is a pretty low way of feathering your nest!

The second 'M' of M&M Famous Faces has already jumped ship​​​​​​
and his client list is littered with celebrities
that haven't agreed to be on there including
Bernard Cribbins OBE, Jessica Martin, Victoria Alcock and Biggins
to name a few

Sherrie Hewson is another actress NOT represented by Matthew Campbell
The solicitor's cease and desist letter is in the mail!

AND
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star
Heather Ripley had never heard of him, nor his fake company!

As he is well known for his unprofessional and dishonest behaviour Gill Selwyn now fronts the 'agency'.

Yet another convention that has blacklisted
M&M Famous Faces.....

Smugglers Charity Events 

Matthew Campbell has also been blacklisted by:

CovCon
Showmasters
Bowington Management
MCM Comic Con
Humans For Hire
CovCon Junior
Studio54 Management
IconVentures
FantCon
Living Legends Ltd
Star Booking Management
ThunderCon
Cambridge Comic Con
Really Wild Events
Wales Comic Con
The Capitol
and
Em-Con
to name just a few!

And actors too.........



So all promoters out there, steer clear!

You have been warned!

Hands up if you think these 'big conventions' are really just 'big cons'
by advertising 'A' listers to get the tickets sales up only to 'cancel' them at the last minute!!!
They are happy to refund pre-paid autographs and photo shoots but not your entrance price.





With conventions springing up everywhere here and overseas........

Autograph Giraffe is bringing you.....
