OK time to start collecting numbers of attendees etc. So please shout out if you are a YES, NO or a Maybe for attending and also if you are up for running a game on the Friday afternoon or the Saturday. I will publish layout and timetable shortly. I know that we have a few of our European friends who can’t make it this year, but hopefully there are many who can. Would also be fantastic to see all those who have just recently joined us...
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Last year, UK was not easy to reach at all from continental Europe and I had to give up. This year I am again definitely wanting to join, if things will not be too difficult. Several friends from Rome are apparently willing to join. Let's see...
Fingers crossed Andrea, that would be fantastic...

Rome contingent would be awesome, they play and party (is a party also a verb?) really well.
Chris, if there is anything how can I help with from Prague, just let me know.
Me and the ground crew will be there.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
I'll be there - Leave booked, Hotel booked.
I'm happy to run a game.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
I'll be there barring unforeseen medical problems and despite existing medical problems!
Fine Dan.
To party is an "informal" verb!
verb: party; 3rd person present: parties; past tense: partied; past participle: partied; gerund or present participle: partying.
You can therefore enjoy oneself at a party or other lively gathering, typically with drinking and music, or
"put on your glad rags and party!"

I'll be there. Happy to run a WW2 game again.
Currently considering scenarios for Operation Crossbow, Starkey or something from the Pacific. Decision may or may not be based on if I get fed up of painting stripes on the typhoons, tempests, Mustangs and whirlwinds on my workbench!
Yes from me Chris. I have a Sails game for first thing Saturday Morning, as it will need setting up the night before as usual.

As stated earlier the Dutch Vic (Lex, Arjan and myself) will be there. Ferry passage booked, hotel booked, so what could go wrong ...
Cummin cheese and the Luftwaffle's Stroopstaffel will be there as well ...
If needed I can host a ww2 game.

I will run my 48 squadron vs the Flying Circus game again I think, as we didn't get much time to play it last time (2017?) However more than happy to let other folk run something...
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Neat, just looked you guys up on Lemonrock, very good. Love your Black Magic Woman cover.
Lol, we should turn Doncaster into a mini festival and get you to play !

Some really good music there Iain.
Just the sort of music for late nights in the bar.
Reminds me of the South Bank clubs in Paris.

Right about six weeks to go, I will pull together the timetable/ games list and everyone can start selecting....
Spread the word, plenty of spaces, would love to see some of our new members joining the chaos.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
I do indeed... really hoping you can make it.....
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
I should be fine now, my latest big adventure us happening at the start of September now

Rather difficult making a choice (other than it's going to be something without sails) given the paucity of info available at this stage........
is the China Seas game the one Skaffers was going to run a year or two ago?
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Cpt kiwi (Andy) hopes to be there but it depends if he still has a near relative in hospital. if he can make it he will be in for Dubrovnik which I am running.

Table 2 for me on Saturday please.
In case anyone is wondering- I'm planning to put on an Operation Crossbow scenario. A mix of Tempests chasing V1s, and Spits/Typhoons attacking a No Ball site.
I have the Friday off this year so will be there for an evening game. Happy to put on a game (I have a Shoho Vs Lexington scenario if people want more WW2) otherwise I'll just join in with whatever is going on.
Then count me in Tim.
