Eggman Strikes!
Unfortunately due to an electrical fault the Hove Centre is
unavailable for Summer of Sonic 2012.
But never fear, for our blue spiny hero has moved at Sonic Speed to
set up shop at the Brighton Centre, facing the Seafront only a
short journey away.
The entrance will be on Russell Road. Please spread the word!
We are incredibly sorry for this last minute change, but the safety
of everyone coming to the convention is our first priority.
UPDATES:
A shuttle bus service will be in operation from 9am (running every
30 minutes) to transport attendees from Hove Train Station to the
Brighton Centre, and from the Hove Centre to Brighton Centre.
Shuttle buses will be running from Brighton Centre to Hove Station
from 4pm if you need transport back.
There will be no shuttle service running from Brighton Station to
the venue as we’ve had to divert one of those buses to help
with the venue switchover. HOWEVER, it’s a very short walk
from Brighton Station to Brighton Centre.
Our new venue will still fit the same number of people, we will have air con, all guests are still coming, the only change to schedule is art classes being cancelled due to venue constraints.

Of course.
Thanks for the warning guys
Everything is still the same schedule? And no changes correct?
If you read the article, you’ll see that everything is the same except the art classes were cancelled.
Sad to hear about the electrical fault-no problems for me in terms of travel though! Gotta ask though-will this place still hold everyone? :< And still have air conditioning?
Says as such in the article.
Will there still be a shuttle bus running back to Hove station after the event? And if so at what times/until what time will it run? Sorry to hear about this!
*sighs* It’s a shame I’m not going there. Still can you give a shout out to everyone at the SoS that I said, ‘Hi everyone, hope your enjoying the event and having a great time!’
There will be air conditioning at the venue, we can still accommodate ticket holders, all guests are still coming, same date and time. The only change to the schedule is that sadly due to venue constraints we will have to cancel art classes.
Will there be a shuttle running back to Hove Train Station at the end of the day, as it’s a 38 minute walk, and the last train is at 19:52? and I’ve seen a few people mention that this is the train they are also getting
Thanks for the heads up about the situation!

That’s a pity, still, hope everyone gets there OK and you all enjoy yourselves
air con? well someone red’ed my topic then at last
Do we still turn up at the same time and leave at the same time?
Hi – I am not coming tomorrow but have made all the arrangements for my son as he is disabled and will be accompanied by a carer so I need to pass on all the information to the carer. I have booked their rail tickets leaving 07.11 from Taunton to Hove arriving 11.13 and returning from Hove on the 18.07. My question is (bearing in mind that like everyone he will wish to get to the venue at top Sonic speed!!) if they just miss a shuttle bus do you know if their is a taxi rank outside Hove St. Likewise, when returning to the station what time should they get the shuttle bus whilst being able to spend as much time as possible with Sonic
Thanks.
Opposite the seafront…. So AFTER-PARTY ON THE BEACH?!?!
As long as the life-stream still be there, im fine
but im getting nervous too a bit now… hopefully
the life-stream link will be posted on this side as soon as
possible 
dont wanna miss a second 
Man it’s a good job I checked this. Means I can walk here now I’m only staying down the road!! XD
OMG me too! My hotel is literally a two minute walk from there haha. Which hotel did you choose?
Huge bummer about those cancelled art classes, but thank Tikal it is still on!
You really did a great job switching everything over so quickly… like true Sonic Heroes.
Buuuut… it would have been nice to sign out the way to the new location (as it was said on the note that you put up at Town Hall), or add a copied piece of a map or something, just for the few foreign people who did not check the website one day before the event… like meeeee! Or giving a little more info, like “hey, it’s close to Churchill Shopping Centre” or whatever.
Had a hard time finding it without being
prepared.
A truly great show this time nonetheless!
… I meant, you should have added a map/hint/whatever to the note at _Town Hall_, not just to the SoS website.
