Our good friends at The Cinema Museum need your help!

The Museum is at serious risk of closure, due to redevelopment of the larger site they sit on. They have an online petition which is approaching 50,000 signatures but they really need to hit the target as soon as possible.

With just two months to go until the event, here's an update on various matters.

At the moment it looks like The Capitol FIVE will run from 10.00am to 6.30pm on Saturday and 10.00am to 6.15pm on Sunday. Doors will open at 9.30am on both days.

The hotel will be providing a lunch meal deal on both days as well as a buffet on Saturday evening. Further details to follow in due course.

The Third Decade of the Third Millennium is nearly upon us, and with it The Capitol FIVE draws ever closer.

Doctor Who Appreciation Society and The Whoovers, in partnership with the Dicks Family, are delighted to present “Terrance Dicks - A Celebration”.

Our substantial allocation of rooms for the night of Saturday 25th April has now been sold. Indeed, the entire hotel is already full, nigh on five months ahead of The Capitol. 80% of rooms for the preceding night, Friday 24th, have also been snapped up.

With the Thirteenth Doctor and her companions well on their way to landing back on our screens, the next series is set to welcome an exciting host of new directors and both new and returning writers.

Three new writers have jumped on board the TARDIS for series 12: Nina Metivier, Maxine Alderton and Charlene James.

It is with enormous sadness that we have learnt of the passing of Dominic May.

Dom joined the Society in the late 1970's and went on in the mid 80's to edit CT in his unique manner before establishing the Merchandise Department.

Courtesy of our good friends at Sons of Skaro, we are delighted to announce something unique for The Capitol.

On the morning of Saturday 27th April, doors will open at 9.30am. However before that, we are delighted to announce that "The Parade of the Daleks" will take place around the Arora Hotel, commencing at 9.15am.

At the moment it looks like The Capitol IV will run from 10.00am to approximately 6.00pm on both days. Doors will open at 9.30am, and ahead that we are planning a bit of fun from 9.15am - further details to follow in due course!

There will also be our annual Saturday night entertainment which this year is titked “Arora Borealis @ The Capitol”.

It is with great pleasure we announce that, with tax relief, £3,887.00 was raised for charities at The Capitol³

This will be donated as follows:
Denville Hall £1,668.00
Syrian Refugees £1,506.00
Cystic Fibrosis Trust £713.00
