There is no way that picture of the Showroom is the same room. It looks like it is taken from a balcony of a much larger venue.

Well, two weeks from now, I will be having lunch on my drive back from Cold Wars. Please to note I still have nothing from HMGS on Flea Market location, so I'll be parking on a best guess. And we've still got nothing on next year's location, which is going to make it hard to reserve a room. I suppose the good news is that if they do move it to Ocean City, I won't be bothering.

GG. As a general rule, we do not regard having our days taken away, our hours trimmed and being shoved into a dark inaccessible corner as marks of esteem. You gave reasons why we should be valued, but not evidence that we are.

The flea market is in the back of the dillpickle room, this has already been mentioned.
Cold Wars is moving to Ocean City in 2021.

"Mentioned" on TMP is not binding on reality, Double G. And Ocean City is about two grades below that. Could happen, but so far all we have is "I heard.." or "someone told me…" You don't make plans, let alone spend money based on RUMINT.

Robert the Flea Market will be somewhere on the grounds of the Wyndam Resort. We will get a tables in an area suitable for us to sell I'm sure.

You know as a "wargamer", so called, since 1976, attending conventions in Staten Island, Wagner College, Milwaukee, Baltimore, Augusta GA, Niagra Falls, Raleigh NC, Columbus OH, the HMGS mini-cons, Carlisle PA, and HMGS cons in Pennsylvania and Fredericksburg VA, this might be a good time to announce my retirement from said hobby. It's been a load of fun. I have made more friends along the way that I can't thank enough for the comraderie and stimulating wargames. So if anyone wants to bring cake and celebrate, I'll consider leaving. Hope to see you at Wally's at the Host.

Rustycop, I would agree with "somewhere on the grounds" anyway. But given the parking situation, the time pressure and the amount of stuff involved, I don't think it's unreasonable to want to know which entrance I should try to park close to. What's the advantage in not keeping us informed?

This has been addressed from a very reliable source; the flea market will be at the back of the Dillpickle room for the 19th time, so park along that back lot and wheel your trinkets, treasures and trash in through the service door to the back of the room.

Not sure why this is a mystery at this point……parking along the back of the building could be a bit of an adventure as that lot is always full, unless they are using the loading area in front of those double doors as a drop off spot………………….you'll figure it out, soldier on there fella………………..
