Nice report. Left comment on you blog too.

Nice to see the report of my local show, which I have missed for only the second time since the 1970's due to a holiday! It looks like it went well!

A great show – one of the friendliest.

Here is my short report (expect more very soon).

We had a great day. Big thank you to those who organise and run the day. I thought there was a high standard of games. Nice day out.

I had a lovely day out with Shedman's la Haye Sainte game. It would have been nice if the cafe hadn't run out of bacon by 10.03, and even better if the fire alarm hadn't gone off whilst a horde of people were waiting for food (fortunately I'd got my sausage and chips about a minute before the alarm sounded). And its not every show where there is a 37mm AT gun as a tripping hazard (I lost count of the number of people I saw stumbling over the trails) But a lovely show indeed, some cracking games (especially the Wings of Glory bomber extravaganza), I picked up everything on my shopping list and came away with loads of extra stuff too. Looking forward to next year!

Another good Show, despite the w****r who decided to have a smoke in the toilets!.

The display and participation games were of a very high quality. Must get me one of those anti tank guns, very useful piece of kit!

Door attendance was well above the 800 mark. Thank you to everyone who took the time to say how much they enjoyed the Show.

See you for our 40th Anniversary Show on 13th March 2016.

Second the comments above. Great show, excellent turnout of traders and some fantastic demo games.
For second year running show disrupted by idiot who decided to smoke- I hope he is identified and banned for life.

The show seemed particularly well attended this year & there were a lot of very nicely presented games. In particular the Sikh War display game just made me want to start a new project.

On a personal note I would particularly like to thank the chaps who very, very kindly offered their help and managed to bounce my car free after it sank in the mud – you're all real gents!

I too have written a short report on my blog…..

I think this was my 25th year of attending this show. I still enjoy it but in a more leisurely way now. Thoroughly enjoyed my day, most of spent playing Peter Pigs excellent new PBI and chatting to the team.

I enjoyed it too, nice to see the smaller scales represented on the demo games.

That's a lovely report norm I really enjoyed that.

Busiest I've seen it in the 5 or 6 years I've been going, though a pity the fire alarms went off for the second year running. Very good show though despite that.

No worries Elpass
Cheers

Hi normsmith … yes it was me, Phil, on the Society of Ancients stand as usual …

I'm glad you enjoyed the Bouvines game and the intro to Basic Impetus

I'm just finishing editing some pictures but it's indeed a pity you deleted what you had (you are bound to have got some different shots)

Anyway … good to meet you and I agree … good show and plenty of manageable games to get involved with …

Ah, a face to a name, thanks very much for your time, patience and enthusiasm on the day.
