Thread: New show Barrage 2015 12 July

  1. #1

    Default New show Barrage 2015 12 July

    At Hammerhead we were approached about putting on a participation game at the show Barrage on July 12 in Stafford.
    I will get more details depending upon interest.
    So anyone willing to run a participation game at the show?
    Let me know and we will arrange accordingly.

    I'm afraid I will not be able to help out Baz.
    It is the weekend of our Annual Regimental do at Kimbolton Castle.

    I will look into this and get back to you - it's quite a distance for me for a One-Dayer, but might be possible.

    Due to lack of playing equipment (like gaming mats etc) I don't quite know if the Wife and I would be able to actually host a participation game by July.

    However both of us would be very interested in coming along and contributing / supporting in whatever ways are possible. Particularly if WGS is involved but even if it's WGF / WW1 instead the offer of support is always open

    The chaps will have plenty of mats there and no doubt extra aircraft if you let them know what you need.

    Hi Simon. If you attend this event you will not be alone novices-wise. The Wife and I are planning to attend also hoping to contribute something to a WGF / WGS effort at Barrage

    No offer of help is ever rejected, especially from novices Simon.
    If you come along, I will guarantee that by the end of the day you will be flying solo.
    Some people like the Dangerous M even make Ace in a day.

    Fair chance I shall be able to come as it's not far from Burton on Trent and we do not appear to have a Sealed Knot muster that weekend.
    The only fly in the ointment is that I shall be redundant as of the 1st July so it depends on my circumstances at that time.

    Just realised that so far we don't have a location or brief directions how to get to Barrage 2015 on here ... Only that the event is being held in Stafford.

    From a standing start in 2013 and with two incredible shows under our belts in 2013 and 2014, it's time to think BIGGER. So with some intrepidation we are moving the Show to Blessed William Howard High School for 2015 and changing the show's name to 'Barrage'.

    Blessed William Howard High School, Rowley Avenue, Stafford. ST17 9AB

    As for the Wife and I attending I am still waiting to find out what is happening at work that weekend: If I have been tutoring that week as I fear the case may be then I will need that weekend as catch-up time.

    Chris at present with work, and home, the way things are I could only get if they have hired a replacement for my co-worker and I'm back on part time hours. Don't count me in for running a game but If I make it, I'll be a willing participant.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I am afraid I am no longer able to come along to Barrage 2015.

    The following day from when this event runs a major tutoring commitment begins for me. I now need this day for preparation time.

    I'm disappointed that I will no longer be attending as this is shaping up to be an interesting event ...

    Must remember not to fall foul of yellow police money boxes this time.
