hi

I regret to inform you that it has been decided COLOURS will not go ahead in 2014. If you have any questions concerning this decision please direct your queries to Colin Cockburn (email fveecolin@fveecolin.freeserve.co.uk).

Anyone know why!?

Ummm…Might I suggest you do as the announcement suggest and send an email asking?…

Red Wyvern Games23 Jan 2014 7:05 a.m. PST

I have sent an email but thought id both ask the wider community if they know – as well as informing the wider community that it's not taking place as it has not been announced on their website .

It will simplify my painting, that's for sure.

I have also sent an email. However, It does seem strange (to me at any rate) that given the size, make up and professionalism of the Newbury & Reading Club that such a short note…

… be issued just giving an email address for (an unknown and possible large number of) people to contact. Is it me? or could this be joke/scam or something? I hope it is as Colours is one of the best shows on the circuit

I heard rumour of this a month ago but i assumed it was just idle chatter. I know no detail other than it was suggested to me that there were internal club politics at play. Two different visions of the future which didn't share anything in common.

I have heard there has been a change of management at the racecourse

"I know no detail other than it was suggested to me that there were internal club politics at play"

See, that was my instant presumption from the email.

It was the "blame him" bit.

I wondered if 'Colin Cockburn' was actually someone at the Newbury Racecourse…he is certainly listed as being a director of some very substantial businesses!

Wow, that short notice seems suspect from a large club like Reading/Newbury…

Hi Guys

I am the traders organiser for Colours.

Colours 2014 will not be run this year, but we hope to be back in 2015.

Colin is the new secretary for the Newbury and Reading Wargames club and Rob Parsonson is the new Chairman. Frank Vincent remains the club treasurer.

Call to Arms on February 15th 2014 at Theale community School, Theale, Reading, is not affected open 09.30 until 5 pm.

Whoa, dude – so like you're telling me that 'cause there's no colors in 2014, it will all be, like, in black and white? Far out, man. Grey rainbows. Dude!!!

No, you guys across the pond will be OK. It's Colours that's not happening this year. Colors will be unaffected!
