Salute 2019, Excel London 6th April

**Guntruck** · 07-23-2018 05:32

We have been invited to put on a game at Salute next year, 6th April. As before it is at Excel London.

Unfortunately I am ‘otherwise engaged’ on that day, so does anyone else want to run with this? If so, I’ll send the details.

If there is someone closer then me who wants to act as liaison officer while I coordinate games and material, I will happily share the post.
See who else sticks their head over the parapet

It would be nice if someone stuck their hand up, but failing that I can do the liaison bit. What size table are you after John?

**Hedeby** · 07-23-2018 11:48

Can't promise but always wanted to do Salute. Always planned to stay with my brother but the bugger moved to Yorkshire lol

**David Manley** · 07-23-2018 12:35

No can do, I've been asked to run my "Stingray" game at the event

**flash** · 07-23-2018 15:19

My area but may not be much longer so cannot commit to this just now.

**Flying Helmut** · 07-23-2018 15:44

I can't tell, this far off, whether I will be available or not.
I hope to be.

What size table do we usually have?
four to eight mats plus a bit of display area, it depends on who else can come, and if they will bring a few more mats etc. ( I only have one of each of the official mats)
Will do WWI Western Front in the a.m. and WWII Western Desert in the p.m. probably

We had a 10x6 table at Bovi (4 tables) that I switched round to make a 12'x5' table -

I got 5 mats on that side by side, it gave room to have control boards on the edge & most could reach the middle. We only used four of the mats as I had a display on the fifth.

Looking at Salute pics we had at least five tables so about 12.5'x6'

I'd suggest you consider switching 4 of the tables round there too that'll give a 12x5 plus a table across the top for the display would make it 14.5 x 5 (mostly)

**Guntruck** · 07-24-2018 11:52

Tables at Salute are 6’ x 2.5’. That would give us the 14.5 x 5.

Edit: OK, I've submitted an application for a 14.5 x 5 table. We should know if application has been accepted by end of October.

**mikeemagnus** · 07-26-2018 16:22

I hope to be there again next year. I'll run with it if I can, but I'm not sticking any hand up until a bit closer to the time

**Guntruck** · 11-18-2018 16:19

Gentlemen, start your engines! I've just had confirmation that we have a table for next year's Salute - 6th April. We've got a 6' x 12.5' table, plus a spare table.

Put the date in your diaries, hopefully John (Johnbiggles) can still run with this as I will be otherwise engaged that day.

**mikeemagnus** · 11-19-2018 11:10

OK its in the diary and all things being equal I'll be able to make it again

**flash** · 11-19-2018 12:26

Unlikely I'll make it this time.

**David Manley** · 11-19-2018 13:46

I will be at Salute, but I've been asked to run my "Stingray" participation game at the show so I will see you all there

**johnbiggles** · 11-21-2018 06:23

I'm still ok for this, hopefully Tim will be as well.
WWI in the morning, WWII in the afternoon like last year.
Possibly some Tripods on display if they have arrived?

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 11-21-2018 09:37

Bit too close to the date for us leaving for Prague I'm afraid John, otherwise I would be blagging a lift down with you again.
Rob.

**mikeemagnus** · 11-21-2018 12:21

WWI in the morning, WWII in the afternoon like last year.

Sounds good to me John

**Flying Helmut** · 11-21-2018 17:12

I hope to be there, but work will be taking a serious turn-for-the-REALLY-worse in March, and I'm booked to go to Prague a couple of days after Salute.

If I can attend Salute, I'll be happy to support whatever John runs, except (of course) SAILS or Tripe-pods.

Wording needs work, but I'm not the expert on Stingray, nor David's game.

**Guntruck** · 11-22-2018 01:03

Nice!

**mikeemagnus** · 11-22-2018 02:56

Like that Mike

**Hedeby** · 12-14-2018 11:35

Really hoping to be able to make it down.. haven’t managed to get to this one before

**johnbiggles** · 02-09-2019 06:33

Hi chaps, it is time to stand up and be counted!
Steve is sending me the wrist bands for this year's Salute and I need to know who needs one sending to them and who will pick up on the day.

**mikeemagnus** · 02-10-2019 11:54

I'll be there John. Pick up on the day is good. I'm travelling down from Barnet via the underground so shall arrive as early as I can. Let me know if you want me to bring anything in the way of kit, although shall not be able to bring that much.

**Guntruck** · 02-10-2019 12:39

So, I’m at Salute but on our clubs game, deep in Helmand Province or some such. If the Wings table needs anything brought along, I will be happy to oblige if it saves some carting stuff long distances.
