    Default New Wargames Show February 2016

    Just a heads up. There is going to be a new wargames show next February 20th in Bournemouth. The first one will be a 1 day show and we are on the lookout for participation games. If any one is interested and willing to put on a wings of glory participation game, please see the link here http://entoyment.co.uk/beachhead-2016/4588774837 for information about the event.

    Regards,

    Mick Owen

    Interesting - I started my war gaming as part of SDMS (South Dorset Military Society) around 35 years ago.
    I may look into it (work and real life permitting).
    Thanks for the heads-up.

    Is STaB still going or is this the natural successor to that? I could well be able to make this. If it was at a warmer time of the year I could even bring the family and lose them on the seafront (we have strong past family connections to Poole / Wareham / Bournemouth so its always nice to get an excuse to go back)

    A tad far from Northumberland but I hope you make a success of it and someone takes up the challenge.

    Might also clash with Vapnartak too.

    Bournemouth is definitely doable from here. Just need to figure out what else might be going on around that time.

    So tentatively in the diary.

    Oh bugger - two shows in a weekend - Cavalier is on the Sunday at Tun Wells I expect.
    It's moments like this when you're happy your daughter not only lives in Poole but has just bought her house a few hundred yards from Entoyment's store !
    I don't have the wherewith all to put on a game but I should think I'll get there to crew one if there is - wonder if Chris is in a position to attend ?

    Thumbs up

    Any opportunity to promote Wings is great.
    Afraid its a "Bridge too Far" from Oz!

    Good luck & hope the event is a big success.

    I understand that someone has been in contact about putting on a participation game, for which we are hugely grateful. My apologies if I didn't make it clear that I couldn't do so myself as I am on the organising committee so will be busy dealing with the door, the venue etc for the duration.

    Sorted Mick. No worries. Hopefully Dave (flash) and co have this well in hand.

    That was me Mick, I popped into Entoyment and had a chat with Pete then dropped Andy an e-mail - hopefully we'll see you on the day and you'll have a chance to chat and play !

    Vapnartak is happening on February 7th 2016. This event is taking place two weeks later - glad that there is no clash.

    Bournemouth likely to be an unable for me - out of range. Nevertheless I hope all goes well for this brand new event and our presence there

    You're safe (or not) Dave - Cavaler is 28th Feb this year - always on 4th Sunday in Feb. So you'll just be making Mrs Flash a Wargames Widow two weekends running

    Unfortunately I have a work commitment on the Isle of Wight (hacking anamatronic dinosaurs) so won't be making this.

    This is now looking good for me, so the intention will be to attend along with Bogue

    Look forward to seeing you there chaps.

    Done the math and it's doable for me so real life permitting will put in an appearance.
    Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
