I have been arranging and promoting the Conventions since 1998 with the support of those of you who attend and our wonderful team of volunteers and of course our actors.
For all of you who attend and for those of us working behind the scenes they can prove to be very long hard days work and are especially tiring for the actors.
I am very conscious of the issues that get raised from time to time and all the really excellent suggestions you provide me with on how to try and improve things.
With this in mind and taking on board a lot of your major concerns I have been exploring other models for the Convention over the last couple of years to try and improve the experience for everyone. I know you can never please all of the people all of the time but for this year I want to try something completely different.
I hope a lot of people will be really excited about this year’s format for the convention (I know I am) but equally I am braced for the fact a lot of our regular attendees and volunteers may be disappointed. All I ask this year is you bear with me and see if what I hope will be a Convention spectacular works. If it doesn’t I will, of course, consider other formats.
So for this years show (drum role) the venue will be over two days at the splendid, steeped in history, luxurious Oval Cricket ground in London.
There will be a lunch served and an optional sit down meal in the evening in the oak panelled Long Room, also time to explore the ground and all its history plus lots of time spent with your favourite actors from Only Fools and Horses and all our usual attractions.
It takes place over 15th and 16th October with tickets for each day restricted to only 200 (ish).
There will be a tier system on attractions to cater for all budgets.
I’m hoping it will take the queueing pressure off some of you from the previous Conventions and turn out to be a brilliant fun day for those that are able to attend.
Many thanks for your understanding and support over the years, further details will be on www.onlyfools.net shortly.

We’re coming from Blackpool to the Saturday convention! We’re disapointed that the line up looks so much better on sunday were going to miss out on seeing denzil and Micky Pearce and Steven. We booked before they announced the actors (we thought it would sell out quick)
There’s 6 main characters on Sunday and possibly the best none main actor too
Even dookie is used as one of the main spots!!!
I see Rosalind Knight is part of the line-up.
Not only was she Mrs.Creswell in the jolly boys outing, but she also appeared in a couple of the early black and white carry on films.
so whoever meets her – will be meeting a carry on star! extra bang for your buck there!
Hi where is the convention tomorrow please
His
I ordered two tickets but I never revived confirmation by email. I have my bank details which says the money has gone to you Perry.
Please can you send me some form of confirmation as I would like to put this in my husband’s birthday card as he had no idea I have booked tickets and would like to suprise him this way. Many thanks

Any ideas what time it finishes on Sunday so I can book a train back up north? Cheers
Just seen the ticket prices. I see that Perry is profiteering like never before. I remember meeting Perry at Biggin hill air fair many years ago and him telling me how he only done these things for the good of the fans, pull the other one. Just look at the prices and what you actually get, shocking. Unless you want to spend over £500 notes that is.
Any news on the tickets?
Looks great
I am overseas and want to know how to get tickets. It’s for my Dad’s 70th. We are massive fans. Thanks.
How and where can you buy the tickets thanks
Hope the tickets are affordable and great guest list
They aren’t.
Perry got greedy.
Look out for an alternative one later in the year.
It would be good if info was shared up to say 2 p.M. and live tickets after that ?…..Please
this sounds great how do we get tickets and can you ask Nicholas Lyndhurst and David Jason to attend to make it extra special!
I think there would have to be more tickets issued tho to avoid disappointment
Hi Perry, sounds exciting. With so few tickets on sale compared to the last few years, will there be advanced warning of when the tickets will go on sale?
James :)
Perry has put on the Facebook group that the tickets will go on sale this Thursday James.
Bonjour,
Neil.
Hi Perry when are the tickets due to go on sale?
Thanks.
Gary
Woo-Hoo – can’t wait !
