21/06/2025 - 22/06/2025 The first Secret con I attended
This was my first time attending to this secret con. I had heard about it but never had the the time or space to do it sadly but it come to this year that I thought I treat my self near my birthday, so I thought lets go for it and see what its all about and how good of a Cosplay con it is. well all I can say its more about the creators and photographers and getting the art together and an epic location so it gives everyone to haver a chance to work with many different people and have fun creating . The weather sadly did not know what to do it was hot one time then shower so as creators we had to play around and be mind readers with the weather or just go with the flow and shoot in the rain. I will be 100% going again and people should go and give it a try. Have fun create and live your life with other creators.
All Staff are amazing and polite and helpful what makes photographers and cosplayers job a lot easier and more relaxed.
I so cant wait to go back to castle/ manor or see what it coming new to the venue side of things.
Thursday Get into hotel I was staying at Moxy hotel what was an amazing stay and had bar and food and also pool really everything i needed. I do wish the bedrooms had proper allocated wardrobe for clothes so got there dead on 3pm chilled for a bit saw a couple of the friends clock in and all that then we just chilled I tried to get but passes early but there was some stupid rule just to put more money into the pockets of excel so I didn't do that. so back to the hotel waiting for one of my mates Ducky and then we went to the pub for pre con drinks and a chill met so many other con mates on the Thursday went back to the hotel and prepared for the weekend.
It was a mad time we get there Thursday with the caravan early and there was already a que to get in but the organisation skills were not the best at all. They got us to que then they started to let in the first lot but they had not enough people people to organise it correctly so people did just jump in the lines and everything not the best, once got there we got the normal sport and set up and hit the drink. Then in the morning got up cooked the breakfast and then that gets the day on the go prep the camera and then go to the track get some shots look at the stalls and all that to see if we get a barging but there was nothing . walk the track and then see some more racing and then go back to camp to start dinner most of the weekend was the same except Sunday because it was a bit wet from Saturday and then Sunday. but the racing was really good i wished it was closer on the points. lets bring on all the changes from systems to engines to teams its going to be a mad one next year i feel but also a really fun one.
Here are a few different projects i have going on in the recent months. 1st I am going on a little break to refresh everything. Once I am back then i have a couple different meetings and shoots to organizes then whilst doing them i will be creating these trading cards. for people to purchase and start the trading wars all over again.
