Auto Assembly 2008 is ON!
The UK Transformers convention scene has been very quiet during 2007, with both Transforce and Auto Assembly taking a year off. The good news is that Auto Assembly is back in 2008 during either July or August at the Clarendon Suites, the venue for AA 2005 (the largest Transformers convention in Europe) and 2006.
Simon Plumbe had this to say:
Just to let you all know though that even though we’ve been quiet for a while, Auto Assembly 2008 is ON and we have been saying this to those of you who have been asking us for the last few months.
Sven and I DESPERATELY needed a break this year for personal and health reasons but we’ve pretty much sorted the venue out and we should be announcing the date in the next couple of days. We’ve narrowed it down to 3 dates and we’re just waiting for confirmation on which one the Clarendon Suites is free! Yup, we’re back at the same place as AA2005 and AA2006!
Anyway, it’s going to be July or August next year so feel free to spread the word guys and keep an eye on the boards and AA website… we’re going to start getting VERY vocal…!!
TheTransformers.net hope to get some more information from Simon very soon on next years event.
