Thread: Vapnartak 2015

    Default Vapnartak 2015

    I've received the calling notice for Vapnartak.

    I'm asking for my usual 12x4 for WGS ready for BoB's 75th.

    Does anyone want to field WGF?

    As usual of course Simon. Same as this year. (But could we turn the volume down on the siren....pretty please?)
    See you on the Dark Side......

    This is one that I would like to make a priority to attend next year if I can. I feel that I have neglected the North of England somewhat of late.

    Count me in for WGF - more than willing to stand up and be counted for that one.

    Good news from this neck of the woods Neil.
    Mrs.K. seems to be warming to the idea of a shopping trip in York.

    Superb. Look forward to seeing you flying a few patrols in the glow of the morning sun, well better than the glow of a burning aircraft or two...or three....

    Looks like we put on a good enough show to be asked back after all - well done to Neil and Simon for this year's games.. and I think the siren needs to be louder, and we need roaring spitfire engines as well please - lets get them played over the tannoy for even more effect, lol

    Working on the principle of "if you don't ask, you don't get", I requested 12'x6' (the size of my mats) for both games, on the 2nd mezzanine (i.e. where we were this year).

    Confirmation should be imminent.

    The Red Dragon will be there to assist me on the WGS table and we'll be there crack-of-sparrows to set up.

    I will definitely be there - happy to play WW1 or WW2 - I think we need the siren LOUDER plus sound tracks of Spitfires and guns... dakka dakka vrroooom !!
    I can be there as early as necessary

    I have 2 trusty Gotha's now Neil...

  22. #22

    Default

    I'm looking for Gotha's, AEG's Staaken's etc. Any of the bigger German ones. With Chris' two, my one that's 3 Gothas, I have 3 AEG's and 1 Staaken. Plus the Zeppelin. Rob, could you bring your zeppelin and mag bits up please.

    The basic plan is to run one large raid in the morning and repeat the raid in the afternoon. RFC Home defence Squadrons v the might of the Hun.

    Wilco that Neil.

    Will you also require my three Gothas, Friedrichshafen, AEG. ans Staaken?

    Still trying to persuade Mrs Bolt that York is far better for shopping and she needs to go

    I'm trying to arrange to get there as well - not succeeded yet

    If I do manage it I could bring 6 Gothas and a Zep if needed

    I received confirmation this morning for one slot (12'x6').

    We are lined up for a second space (size unknown) should someone else drop out.

    Should we not get a second space, we'll divide up what space we have, as per this year's event.

    Neil, no second table at the minute, so we either split the table space or do WGS as planned.

  33. #33

    I am afraid that I'm going to have to drop out of this event, due to a clash with another commitment changed from January which I have to be at on that day.

    If you need the space Simon happy to assist. If we have enough to split, without taking anything away from the WGS, I'm happy with that too.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Likewise - happy to assist in any way I can, can be on hand for set up / close down as well as one of the closer events for me.

  36. #36

    I will be at the show again this year (we have a bus load coming down from Falkirk) so I will certainly look in and hope to get a game

  37. #37

    Just had confirmation from the planners. We are in the same spot as '14 (2nd Mezzanine), with a 12'x6' for the WGS game and a 6'x2' table for "Club Info". If Neil still wants to run WGF, then I'm sure we can reconfigure as we did previously.

    Set up is 0700+, doors at 0930, endex 1700.

    See you there....

  38. #38

    Default

    To make the 6x4 your table would be reduced to 10x6. Are you happy to do this Simon? If yes then we can put on the WW1 as we did last year.

    Sorry Neil, can't make this one.
    I finish a night shift @ 08:00, so couldn't make it in time even if I had a full size plane! (and could manage to stay awake!)

    Hammerhead will be my first show of the year.
