I particularly enjoyed this year, probably because quite uncharacteristically I had a plan and a list.

I felt that numbers were up on last year and that more people stayed around until later in the day. Someone suggested there were fewer trader stands. I don't know about that but they all seemed to be busy.

There were less big games but lots of little skirmish type things. Quite a few on raised table surfaces (copycats, eh?) I didn't see any of those static 'games' where nothing happens, which was quite refreshing.

You might say that, I couldn’t possibly comment :D

Looking forward to seeing the photos emerge.

Ive noticed that a lot recently all over the hobby. The big battle seems to be getting rarer.

That’s when you know a game has really excited the players! :o

Must be the "School holidays anti boredom programme ". I hope that there are some left when I go back to work on Wednesday.
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done
