Salute 2014 - stand up and be counted

**Guntruck** · 07-27-2013 05:48

Right chaps, Salute is on 12th April at Excel in London and the applications for tables are being sent out now. I've asked for an application form, but need to know how many of you lot are willing to join in the fun and frolics to see if it's a runner. Those wanting to put on some games take one step forward.

Perhaps the squadron liaison officer can talk to Ares if he hasn't already done so?

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 07-27-2013 06:04

I expect that the Squadron Liaison Officer will be willing to talk to Ares, as soon as he returns from his current mission Steve.
I would love to join you if I can, but can't answer directly until I have spoken to my Logistics Officer. Having never done Salute since it was in Kensington Town Hall, I would love the chance to put another game on there, now that it is in its new venue.
Rob.

Would love to but is dependent on me getting back to work and finding out what my shift pattern will be. Will be able to give a firm answer after new year.

Steve,

Although I am new to the game, it'll give me a year of practice.

I used to manage a games shop, so have a little experience in hosting things.

I am up for it if you need numbers

**Boney10** · 07-27-2013 17:55

Put me down Gunners

**Archidamus** · 07-28-2013 00:21

I'll see what I can clear with "her indoors"

**David Manley** · 07-28-2013 01:11

SLO is a "possible" for this event. And he has already contacted Ares (a few months back). Response was essentially "we haven't had time to think about our 2014schedule yet, we'll get back to you". So I'll drop them a line a bit later in the year.

New to the game but as a ex South London Warlord it would be good to go back for a day, if you need body's, then I'm in

**monty's double** · 09-16-2013 04:34

Would love to step up. Can't give a 100% yes as I work for the emergency services so do get pulled in with no warning. However the 12th is a day off according to my roster as it stands so could I be penciled in as a possible

**se5a** · 09-23-2013 14:15

Will be available for this if required, had planned to attend anyway, this would make it more enjoyable.

**Guntruck** · 09-26-2013 02:18

Right, I've just sent off the application form for a table. I've asked for an 8.5' by 5' table, which should give ample space for 4 mats and a bit of a display area. Closing date for applications is 31st October, so we should know if we are successful some time in January.

I've said it will be a WW1 game only as it is a one-day event. As it is a participation game we will get 8 free badges. If there is more than 8 bodies extra badges will be a tenner each.

Hopefully it will be an opportunity to give my shiny new coastal airship a run out.

The more the merrier, and the more chance we have of being able to get a chance to mooch round the show

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 09-26-2013 08:09

Great news Steve.
Now we just need to keep our fingers crossed that they want us there.

Or do we write submission and then bribe the officials to look favourably on us al a FIFA?

Rob.

**monty's double** · 09-26-2013 08:37

I hear that Sepp Blatter bloke is a fiendish cheat and tantrum thrower when it comes to Wings of Glory. Also he doesn't allow British planes in any of his games. Honest.

Well, it was definitely a brown envelope job as that was the only colour I had when I sent off the form

I am quietly confident

Not doing anything nautical then?

The NWS is doing something. Hopefully SGN. I personally can't commit to anything just yet as I have something work related that may be happening at the same time and I won't know for certain for some time
