Well "selling" it as being in the town where it actually is being held might be a good start :D :D

Other than that any successful and popular shows always give some idea of what might be there, traders, demo's etc.... for right or wrong this flyer gives the impression of someone sitting at home alone, deciding to do a wargames show, booking a room and.....that's where the thought ends!

The amount of reorganising everyone has to do to make him feel like he has is immense :D

It just feels like the same mistakes the triples crowd kept making time and time again.
Completely agree. See you at ChillCon !

I've talked to two people who went (1 trader, 1 punter). The trader packed up and left at 12.30. The punter was Tom whose show reveiw was "Ooh, shiny !".

The attendance must have been boosted too by the show hosting the first Barons War Competition "Event". It might have even boosted numbers more if the organisers had advertised the fact!
