From our lead organiser for the 2020 working group: Dear All,
It is with great sadness I have to announce that Colours 2020 will not be happening due to the restrictions placed upon us because of the Covid 19 or Coronavirus. We have tried to hold on as long as we could in the hope that by September things would have normalised, but we have reached the point where we needed to make a decision to either proceed or not. Obviously, we have to make the safety of our attendees, our traders and our club members our highest priority. Like so many events before us, this means that we find ourselves in a position where we cannot in good conscience proceed. At the time of writing this it is intended that Colours will return in September 2021 but we will communicate that at the appropriate time. Andy Scott on behalf of Newbury and Reading Wargames Society Committee. |

Damn, I was really hoping that this show would go ahead, still I understand their reasons for making this decision. We are running out of time to actually have another show in the UK this year. |

Sad, another casualty of the 'Year that never was' |

There's a couple up north in October and November. Haven't heard anyone cancel them yet. You never know. |

It is a shame, but it's clearly the correct decision. It would be crazy to put our hobby before lives and, as a commercial venture, if it did go ahead it would do so with a very large number of gamers very sensibly deciding to not attend due to the risks involved. I'm just writing off this year as a bad job and looking forward to 2021. Frankly, I think everything is a writen off until the medicos develop a jab. |

Oh, what a shame! I've had some jolly times at Colours, hopefully will again, in '21. |

I know the Wakefield group are still hoping for Recon in December but a shame over this. I do enjoy seeing the pictures! |

Our web site at nrwc.org.uk/colours-2020 now confirms this. Please refresh your web browser (typically press F5) if it still shows the old page. For those in the trade with bookings, Ian either has or will be in touch over your options. I shall keep an eye on this thread over the next couple of weeks. If you are struggling to reach us, please try a posting here. - Nathan, on behalf of the NRWS |
