I was wondering if this was still going - I recall attending when it used to be in Portsmouth. I shall see if the Baroness will give me a one-day pass and try my best to attend (it's just under 70 miles, but a fairly straight drive - M3, A34, A338, A303).

I just booked a hotel for one night at Yeovil, so I am attending both days.
So if you go it will be nice to catch up.

Just a heads up this event is on in 3 days time.

This table is 4 x 6 feet, the one at RNAS Yeovil will be 8 x 6 feet.

How did it go? Sorry I had to cry off (the eye op went pretty well), but I hope your game had a good showing and lots of interest.

(Btw, I had previously forgotten that yesterday was my 34th Wedding Anniversary (I did remember in time, though), so I think the weekend generally might have been a bit difficult.....)

It was an excellent weekend, played my game once and got to play test an ancient naval game.
