As well as attending memorabilia fairs, John has been a guest at several Star Wars conventions where he has been surprised by the interest in his character. "I'd never bothered with the convention circuit as I didn't have speaking part, I was just one of the extras in the briefing room scene".

Michael Sheard (1940-2005)




It is our sad duty to inform everyone that our dear friend Michael Sheard has passed away at his home on the Isle of Wight.
A message from Ros Sheard: "My darling husband died on August 31st. He will be sadly missed and he loved you all."
We also learned from Michael's son, Simon via his official site at www.michaelsheard.com that before he passed on, Michael made a request to have the following message posted on his website for all his friends:
"Thank you my Very Dear Chums - See ya."






We provided the machines for this occasion, with many Star Wars actors attending, and a pleasant surprise when Jonathan, our Managing Director was met by the Lady Maress of Bristol!
