We have taken our trip through the Time Vortex into the world of Doctor Who, Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures and returned with so many wonderful memories and stories to tell!

Vortex was an amazing day and we would like to say thank you to everyone who came along to see the props, displays and most of all our fantastic guest stars Gareth David Lloyd, Paul Mark Davis and Chipo Chung.  You made them feel so welcome during the Q&A, autograph session, photo session and Ianto’s Coffee Club Meet & Greet.  They enjoyed every minute they spent with you, the fans.

It has taken many months to prepare this event and we are delighted that all our hard work paid off.  The Daleks, Tardis, Empty Child, K-9 and Lady Cassandra went down a storm and we saw so many people having their photos taken with them.  Our Ood and Clockwork Droid spent the day walking around the event meeting all the children and families.  We hope you liked having the chance to experience what its like to be at the controls of the Tardis on our stage set and thank you to everyone who came up to take a photo and gave a donation to the Children’s Hospice to do so.

The Weakest Link and Fancy Dress were hilarious and we hope you enjoyed the entries as much as we did and congratulations to the Fancy Dress winners for all the hard work they put in to their costumes.  The Dalek and mini Cyberman where so cute!  And well done to the winners of our Weakest link games.

Post a blog comment to tell us about your memories of the event and email us your photos (or a link to where they’re posted) so we can compile a photo gallery on the website as we rarely get to take pictures of our own.

We look forward to seeing you all again at the next UT Event!

Are you interested in helping out at Vortex?  We’re looking for volunteers to spend one or two hours of the day helping us run the event.  You could be asked to do anything form checking badges at the door to selling raffle tickets or controlling queues.

They may not sound like glamorous jobs but they are essential and you’ll get to see how an event like this is run from behind the scenes.  We guarantee you won’t miss out on anything during the day, we’ll accommodate you if you have specific times you prefer not to work and at the end of the day there’ll be a special presentation to thank all our stewards.

Email us at info@utevents.co.uk with the subject line “Volunteer Steward” and include the following information

• Name
• Registration number
• Telephone number
• Let us know if you are under or over 25 years old
• Tell us if you have any experience stewarding events or if you have attended events like this before
• If you are not planning on spending the full day at the event then let us know what times you will be there and if there are any specific times you will not be available to help

We will contact you before the event by email so make sure you check it regularly.

You must be over 16 to steward and take your responsibilities seriously.  Please note that this is only open to those who already have tickets for Vortex.  This is not a way to gain entry now that the event is sold out.
