    Default 7th February: Vapnartak, York.

    7th February: Vapnartak, York.

    Point of contact: Strangely Brown; Hedeby; Skafloc

    Assisting: Embis; Rebel;

    No contact with any show organisers at present to confirm tables for 2016. But we are actively chasing this and expect an answer soon.

    Can we have a show of hands for assistance with this show. It took us a long time to get in now we are we don't want to loose our slot.

    Cheers Neil

    Again only positive answers to this thread please. If you can't make it then don't answer.

    The York Wargames Society have been contacted - am awaiting a response to see where we stand for this one.
    Fingers crossed, it's a great show that Simon managed to get us into for the past two years.

    Will keep you all posted

    Just heard back from the organisers - good old Simon has already got us on the 'guest list' and has requested two 12ft x 4ft tables. One is apparently no problem a second table of that size might be, so I have asked could we have a second table anyway (as large as they can make it). Anyway I am in contact with the event planner now, so roll on February..

    Great news Chris. I'm all blown out at present. Brain is not in gear and idling is not an option. Christmas break and batteries refreshed for the New Year. Gives us 4 weeks to plan.

    OK, as Simon has confirmed we have a space. Hopefully same place as we have had the last two years. Simon have you found what you were looking for? We need noise, you know what I mean.

    Again two tables being run.

    Simon with Battle of Britain

    Neil/Chris with Bloody April (a try out if we get the place confirmed at the Armouries gig later in the year)

    Assisting so far, Reg and mark.

    We have a good turn out for this show punter wise so could we have some more forum assistance please?

    Sorry, was thinking of turning up until I found out how long it would take to get there, and more importantly how much those thieving b*****ds who run the railway wanted to charge me.

    Just a heads up, that Kirsty from the Royal Armouries will be at Vapnartak so hopefully she will make herself know to us. Also there has been a change of date for the WW1 event it has been moved back to November. Gives us even longer to look forward to it!!

    ...maybe even time to build a scale Zeppelin

    Zeppelins, we have loads.

    November does give us more planning time.

    Hope to meet Her at Vapnartak so she can see what we can put on for Her at Leeds.

    OK heads up time, anyone coming to Vapnartak could they please bring any Alb DI, DII and DIII's they might have. Some FE2, BE2 and Sopwith 11/2 strutters would be nice to.

    I can bring 2 x 23 Squadron FE2B . Both Skytrex Metal but very nice. Can't help with any of the others I'm afraid although I am also down to bring my Skytrex British Observation Balloon.

    Feeling a lot better so unless something drastic happens I'll be there.Final call for all members if you're coming to Vapnartak this Sunday in York. Be glad to see you, come along and take part in the biggest Battle of Britain game you'll ever take part in and chance your luck at Arras, during Bloody April, with the RFC or Lufstreitkrafte.

    I take it from that if the giants have landed it's the RFC turn to field the bombers and the Hun to shoot them down?

    Bloody April it is - however if a few giants turn up we absolutely have to give them some air time.
