    Default Barrage 2016

    So we have Barrage 2016 rapidly approaching (10th July in Stafford) anyone know if we have an invite for this (not a bad little show last year) and if so what are the plans to dazzle the public?
    Anyone know? and has anyone got this in their diary?

    My plans have been over ruled by SWMBO - it's my daughter's birthday on the Monday and we are all going out for the day on the Sunday - so unless that all falls through I'm afraid I am grounded.

    If the lift was aimed at me much appreciated Mav but not necessary you would literally pass stafford to collect me plus the station is a 7 minute walk from the venue so not a problem to get too at all i will be slightly late for the original setup tho as the first train gets in at 9:20ish
    will PM you contact details for the day
    Look forward to it

    Apologies chaps, I haven't been able to swing it this time.

    I'm sure you'll put on a great show.

    Back from Barrage, a quiet show with the only "punter" being our own Baronn Rolf who turnd up on a whim and had a couple of games.
    Despite the lack of players we had a good time, was nice to get in a few games without stopping to explain things to onlookers, there were some questions but by lunch time they seemed to dry up.
    Anyway we did have the folowing games.
    Pups v Albatross D3 RFC victorious.
    Then Pups v Albatross D2 another RFC win.
    Next up Strutters v Albatross D3 , yup another RFC victory
    Fourth game Strutters v Albatross DVa with a Phalz D3
    Last Hanover v SE5a

    All RFC wins today
    Ill post pics asap.

    Thanks to Maverick for organising, Andrew, Mavs step son, Baron Rolf for turning up for a couple of games and Warboar for assisting and playing.
    Cheers chaps see you at the next one.

    Good stuff Chris, thanks for stepping up to the plate once more - so another quiet show? seems to be the norm for this year, Vapnartak and Hammerhead notwithstanding

    I still love playing the game and talking to like minded Chris, even though Sails has taken a big slice of my time of late
