Crusade 2016
Annual wargames show held by Penarth & District Wargames Society in Cogan Leisure Center, Nr Penarth.
This is the only proper show I am able to attend as we work all the time. For me it is a great day out, I`ve been lucky enough to make a lot of friends through my time as editor of The Journal and it is great to meet these people face-to-face and chat about their businesses, the hobby world and just wargaming in general.
It was smashing to see and chat to Stuart from S&S Models, Elen & Gary of Sgt`s Mess, Mark Jackman of Combat Miniatures, Ian Clunie of Shellhole Scenics, Paul of Early War Miniatures and that stalwart of the UK show scene Andy Grubb. The show itself seemed very busy and everyone seemed quite buoyant about the year ahead. I showed a copy of the new style Journal around and those who were not members already seemed very impressed by the improvements made by the new team (I agree whole heartedly).
Some photos I took of a couple of 28mm demo games
Thanks for showing off the new Journal. It's good to hear that people were impressed :)
ReplyDeleteHanded out 40 flyers too :)
ReplyDeleteAs I was buying stuff I told the various owners that I would (of course) be writing a review for our readers and hopefully give them some "free" advertising. I made no promises about potential sales of course :)
Good stuff :) I have to admit, I'm glad you're still flying the flag for the society. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want anything more to do with it after all those years as editor.
DeleteI`m still writing 10+ pages a quarter and sending them to Pete, the difference is I`m doing it for the SOTCW and not just to fill my own magazine anymore - makes it more fun :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to write something every quarter, but it's rarely as much as 10 pages :)
