Hi
I hate to be the bringer of bad news, if you are not already aware Stayfocused have gone into liquidation and their website originally showed "We will be back soon", it now shows "This site is under Maintenance" (coincidentally this is the same message that is on the web page for the astronomy show in Birmingham). As a lot of people have mentioned the telephone number is the same as that for Astrosource so the assumption has to be made that they are indeed one and the same. It looks as though the show will not be happening and there have been some shenanigans going on with Stayfocused resulting in a lot of people losing money both on goods and tickets for the proposed show.
I notice that Steve "Asatron" has been very quiet in his lack of responses to further questions regarding tickets for the show, I wonder why? I had heard some rumours about this company from a friend in the business and it looks as though the rumours have come true
See you all at Astrofest, I will be on the Widescreen Centre stand
Best wishes
Gordon

As you are aware from another forum where you started silly posts like this I gave you your answer. starting fire threads is not very good for the astro community when something like this happens. I would have more respect for you as a person if you had a voice of your own rather than playing the ventriloquists dummy.
I, as an employee of stayfocused did my upmost to keep problems to a minimum and in fact managed to refund almost all of the customers as well as return 80% of the stock before the Directors of the comapny pulled the plug. Most of the debts are actually Astrosource debts. It is in fact this, that contributed to the demise of stayfocused which was a good company with a healthy turnover etc etc I will put some links below to the relevent pages that you need to read up on before spouting nonsense about individuals who you do not know or have no 1st hand information about.
I am working very hard behind the scenes on this and if I do not get to your email promptly then I apologise but I will get there.

I hope anybody who is a member of this site, who may also be a member of an astronomical society may mention this at there club as we know Astrosource had many dealings with societies as well as their members. we have found several more victims over the last few days and think there may be more we have not heard from who are not active on-line forum members. :(
many thanks
