Good news...

Steve the Wargamer wishes all of the poor deluded fools* a very good New Year; may your beers be fresh and hoppy, your pork pies crispy, and your die rolls high or low as required... 😀

One good piece of news from the guys at Newbury and Reading Wargames club...

"Colours 2015: N&RWG are pleased to share that Colours will run in 2015. The big change is that it will move to a one day format rather than the two day show that we’ve run previously. This change is a really important one as it is driven by our desire to bring a high quality show with all the best traders and demonstration games. Colours will be on Saturday 12th September 2015 at Newbury Race Course. For show visitors: as the show date get closer check back here more details including showtimes, directions, traders list and forms."

Dates in your (new) diaries chaps... 😏

* that hope, one day, there may be something interesting to read etcetc

    All the best, Steve - I confess I don't know where Newbury actually is, so I shall consult the oracle (or "insult the coracle", possibly?). I think a few of the bigger wargame/military modelling shows might benefit from downsizing and upping the average quality - less unmanned trade stalls would be a start. But that, of course, is merely my opinion.

    Cheers - Tony

      Tony - I think Colours has been heading that way for some time to be honest.. of even something as big as Salute can't run 2 days then you have to question a number of others... one exception might be Warfare as that is primarily a competition weekend, but even there I can see the trade part of the show coming down to just one of the days..

      Legatus, it may be busy (given only one day), but I think it is unmissable..

    Happy New Year! Newbury race course sounds like an easier venue to get to - might even tempt me to go again after 15 years!

      Stryker - use it or lose it, as the young people say... the Newbury venue is several orders of magnitude better than the old Hexagon!
