We now have a minimum crew of 3 for the show. Cheers to Neil (sparky) and Tom for stepping up to the plate once more.
2-3 more would be nice and give everyone a chance to look around the show and have a break. So come on any more takers?
See you on the Dark Side......
Well just under a fortnight to go.
Game 1: Snoopy and the Pup squadron v Red baron and the angry birds.
Game 2: The Hunting of the Zeppelin.
See you on the Dark Side......
My how time flies, 2 days to go.
I'll be there 7-7.30ish to help set up venue.
Hope to see some forum members there.
See you all soon.
Neil
See you on the Dark Side......
We have 4, skipper (My son Sean) has changed his last shift before heading off to University to help out too.
See you on the Dark Side......
Good luck tomorrow Neil - don't envy you the early start...
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Hey I'm still up as Son hasn't phoned for his lift yet! (Out with mates drinking!)
He may be walking.....
See you on the Dark Side......
Well Sean got in at 2am, at least I got 5 hours sleep. But we got away for 6.30 to help set up the show.
How did it go?
You may well ask. It was definitely a show of 2 halfs.
First half WoGf we had 2 games going.
Surprise, surprise PM we had 2 yes you better believe it 2 SoG games.
Pics and write ups o follow. Of course the DoG will be on the Anchorage site. Only fair.
See you on the Dark Side......
Good show Squadron Leader.

Don't you just hate auto spell correct on a tablet? Of course DoG should have been SoG!
See you on the Dark Side......
What you need to do Neil is join me in a hair of the SoG.
And remember NO SNAILS.

Show Report: Doors open 10am. Finish games by 3pm.
Having arrived at the venue for 7.15 to assist setting up not only our tables, but the show, a tired and weary father and son awaited the arrival of our reinforcements.
With Neil (sparky) and Tom (Indie55) arriving we awaited the arrival of the masses, and waited and waited.
However we used this time to introduce Sean (skipper) and Tom to the basics of Sails of Glory.
Unfortunately being so far from the entrance the members of the public had to walk past a myriad of traders before getting to us. That said our first arrivals jumped straight into the Wings game, Snoopy and the Pup flight v The Red Baron and the Angry Bird Squadron.
(lt to rt) Sean, Neil, Tom v Nathan and Terry
Nathan and Terry, being veterans, flew 2 aircraft (aircraft?) each.
Nathan flying Black & Blue Angry Birds, whilst Terry flew the Baron and Red Angry Bird. Neil the gallant, brave Snoopy backed up by Tom and Sean flying the Pups.
Snoopy eventually blasts the Baron from the skies!
Ah revenge, says Red Angry Bird, shall be mine!
Not so for our wiley, canine hero!
Alas with re-spawns the deadly Baron (mk2) and the Angry Birds got their revenge.
Terry won the coveted Bullseye award, given to the pilot with the biggest bullseye on his back, and the Deadly Aim award to young Nathan who shot down more aircraft than the dead quick aim of Snoopy, aka Neil.
A second Snoopy game was played but alas both myself and Tom were embroiled on the seven seas on the SoG table (aren't we glad we kept the 2nd table on), so I didn't get as many photo's. (Apologies).
(remiss of me but I didn't get the father and sons names...apologies again)
All in all a very productive day...where are the SoG pictures you ask? Over on the Anchorage site, apologies again but just for Tim...
(lt to rt) Callum, Tej and Tom.
See you on the Dark Side......
Well played Squadron Leader. Enjoy a nice lie in this morning

Up with Larks already having collected Sean from Newcastle at Midnight!

- Neil.
It gives a good flavour of the games and a bit of a view of the show.
See you at Donny for more excitement and daring don't.

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
A few more pics of the set up with a normal camera it looks yellow.
See you on the Dark Side......
Bad case of scurvy there Neil. More limes required ( and some pease puddin)

Just wanted to say thanks for a great day. I thought this year's show was better than last year's, although I was too busy playing to get a proper look around. (I didn't spend anything)
Tom.
Tom your enthusiasm was infectious as always. You took to sails like a duck to water.
See you on the Dark Side......
Well done to Neil and co. for showing the flag with such panache!
Who was the owner of that super wooded map?
The less said about that last, watery-type photo, the better......................
Wooded mat is mine Tim. Great for low level stuff.
See you on the Dark Side......
Love that wooded mat, Neil. Some serious terrain-envy going on over here.
It is nearly 3 years old that mat Christopher. It's getting a bit sun bleached but is still nice to play on.
Neil
See you on the Dark Side......
