Marie, We will be making an announcement in the coming weeks with availability, as planned, in September.
Hi Dave,
Has this event ‘sold out’?
Kindest regards,
Graeme
No, tickets are still available.
(14th January 2025) tickets are still available.
Hello, are you going to have speakers video for people unable to attend?
Expecting to pay to watch these speakers.
Thanks.
At the moment our priority is selling tickets to attend the event. The ticket price does not include a contribtion towards the cost of video recording the event. The POW80 committee is hoping to secure funding to cover the £1,200 ‘up-front’ costs of recording the event, but so far has not been successful.
If money is forthcoming, and speakers agree to recording of their presentation, this will allow those unable to attend to purchase post-event ‘virtual’ tickets to view the presentations after the event has taken place.
There is a donation ‘button’ on the website if people want to help us by making a donation. Every donation, big or small, helps us!
Greetings. Today I have purchased my ticket for POW 80 and I’m looking forward to be with you all in Manchester on the 7th of June.
Alan, we are looking forward very much to meeting you in Manchester. Please do anything you can to encourage others to also join us there.
Best Regards,
Dave Lovell
Chair of the Trustees of the Online Memorial and Museum of Prisoners of War. Charity number: 1200975
Be assured David I will do my level best to encourage others to join.
