On Saturday, September 27 2003 the Dutch Star Wars Fan Club presents in association with eBay.nl the ECHO BASE CHARITY CON 2003. All proceeds of this event will be donated to the Dutch branch of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a foundation that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.

Although this is a Star Wars convention, James Bond fans might be
interested in the attendance of Saturn Award winning director IRVIN KERSHNER, who directed NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN (as well as the most critically acclaimed Star Wars film THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and Robocop 2), stunt arranger/coordinator PETER DIAMOND who worked on FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and actor JOHN HOLLIS who played Ernst Stavro Blofeld in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.

Also in attendance are: two-time Oscar nominated producer GARY KURTZ
(producer of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back), PAUL BLAKE (Greedo in Star Wars), RUSTY GOFFE (various roles in Star Wars), KENNETH COLLEY (Admiral Piett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi), MICHAEL CARTER (Bib Fortuna in Return of the Jedi), JEROME BLAKE (performed no less than six parts in The Phantom Menace and can also be seen in Attack of the Clones), ALAN RUSCOE (multiple parts in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones) and JOHN COPPINGER (worked behind and in front of the camera in Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace)

These guests have not only appeared in the Star Wars films but can also be seen in films like The Fifth Element, The Mummy and the Indiana Jones- and Harry Potter movies. Fans can meet the guests, ask them questions, pose for photos and get their autographs. There will also be a wide variety of merchandise for sale, a charity auction with lots of exclusive items, a costume contest and lots more.

The event will be held on September 27, 2003 at the

Sounds good but I don't really go to these sort of things. I'm sure somebody might be interested though.
