She is doing ok thanks, no likelihood of hospital, which is good as i'd have to knock her out before she'd go
Our biggest gripe is the lack of testing...that and the a********s who have stripped the supermarket shelves of everything.

Ayton for me is about having a few drinks (probably too many), good food and cracking on with you fine fellows. The gaming part of Ayton, as a few of you may have suspected about me is not so important now.

Aye, fighting over bogroll - humanity at its best.

Gaynor still working. You'll be fine.

Please please can we keep at least one day of the Oct Ayton for 42mm shiny? Just spent quite a few shillings and 3 months painting my army. I'm ok with a postponement, I'm disappointed but its the right thing to do. Nothing stopping a new date is there? If the hall is booked we can use Simons house? We wont loose any deposit if its trashed either.

I would be very unhappy if this wasn't the case.
The 'big game' was scheduled for just the Sunday though so I wouldn't complain if different games happened on the Saturday.

or we could shunt the whole main Ayton to the next May ?

I'm happy whatever is decided.

I’d prefer to squeeze it into this year if we are able to

I would argue for the shiny Ayton to go ahead as planned (All being well by then of course) and for 2021 to be our official 10th anniversary, which it will be given that this year was postponed. That gives all you lacy types another year to finish your massive armies etc. Rather than have it degenerate into a half hearted mish mash of the two events.
