What is Salute, Rob? A game event?
THE game event (in the UK at least)Originally Posted by Nightbomber

As Dave quite rightly says, arguably the most important of the big three. Salute, Derby World Champs, and Sheffield Triples.
To get invited there is indeed a prestigious feather in ones cap.
Rob.
Are ARES going to have a trade stand?
Don't know as yet Tim.
All I have is that Andrea may be coming over for it.
Rob.
So are we looking to put a display on?
You are so lucky: you have a lot of major events spreaded during the year

It would be great to think that we could do so Chris.
However, I am now aware that we are getting into the area where we don't want to extend ourselves too much.
As far as I know we now have WMMS, Triples, Grand Historical Bazaar, and I assume the World Champs at Derby.
In addition to this you seem to now have Newbury and Reading. We also have a few regional events that our chaps support. With just a hardcore of members who seem willing to get involved, I do not want to burn them out by asking too much of them.
We need to exmine our aims and objectives, before the horse bolts.
I also intend to establish exactly what our relationship is as far as Ares is concerned, and I will be talking to Keith on his return to get his angle on this. After all the Drome is his baby, and we don't want to do anything to upset his vision for the development of that,and his contact with Ares.
So at present, i will just say it is worth a visit, and look into what the U.K. members feel.

If I can make it to Salute I would be more than happy to run or help run a demo/participation game. I've not been able to in the last few years, but I'm expecting life to be a bit less formalised next year and so I'm planning to attend. I've done about a dozen or so similar games at Salute over the years with Wessex games, the NWS and the SFSFW. As a showcase for new games its hard to beat.
It would be nice to think that Ares would / could get some sort of relationship going with the people who are out there promoting their product for them. To be honest from what I've (not) seen in the wargaming press Ares is actually doing a pretty poor job of advertising the return of Wings of War / Glory, instead relying on osmosis and incantation to spread the word. That and a hard core of dedicated players in the US, Australia and the UK who are willing to go through great efforts to promote the game off their own bat (and at their own expense)
So far for next year I have fingers in the following pies, but all are subject to confirmation by the organisers. No correspondence has been entered into yet
Milton Keynes May 2013
Triples Sheffield May 2013
Newbury Sept
Derby. Oct
Reading Nov
WMMS
Plus a couple of local shows Devizes, Bovington possibly Newark
