Today, we were at Durham (N.E. England) for their annual show.
We had our customary good time, and got lots of new toys! For a picture report, please go to my blog post at this link
Enjoy! |

I turned up at 3 but all the traders were packing up so I went home. Disappointed. |

Unfortunately, all shows seem to finish before their scheduled finish time.
The show was quite busy from 10 when it opened and was still well attended at midday when I left.
I don't blame the traders for finishing early if there are only a few punters left. |

Fun show, as ever. Nice to see lots of familiar faces. Dropped my hard-earned on Irregular Ottomans, Desert Rats from Dave Thomas, and Coat d'arms paint from Colonel Bill's. Parking was a 'mare this year – no spaces left by 09:45. Plenty of on-street parking locally, though. Wish they'd open upstairs again – this show could be bigger! I made the same assumption as Herky re. the 40mm WotR game – a prominently displayed "Lion Rampant" rulebook suggests a Lion Rampant game is being played! |

I think weather and TV sport was the cause of many early retirements.
Herkeybird, you cut off my head in the third last photo at the bring and buy. |

Sorry Jarovian! I had no intent to dacapitate you! A thousand apologies! At least I got your manly nose and chin in…. |

Wasn't at my best, hobbling about with a bandaged leg and walking stick. I think you caught me mid lunch. Glad you enjoyed the show, and hope to see you next year. |
