It's getting close to that time of year again, as Battleground 2016 takes place on Saturday November 26th, at the Queen's Campus Sports Hall in Stockton-on-Tees, TS17 6BH, running from 10am until 3pm.
This show is organised and run by Pendraken Miniatures with help from Middlesbrough Gamers Club.
Entry to the show is only £3 for adults, with free entry for the rest of the family.
Currently we're looking to have 37 traders attending, but there may be one or two changes to last year's lineup. We'll have all of the traders confirmed by October and we'll update at that point. A current list of the expected traders can be found here: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!traders/c24i2 (http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!traders/c24i2)
This year we're expanding the games section of the show, as well as increasing the number of participation games on offer. We're waiting on the final details of some of our games, so we'll keep updating the lists here: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!games/c19qp (http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!games/c19qp)
We've always enjoyed having living history groups at our event, with the Durham Pals and 68th DLI returning for 2016. We've also added the Lonestar re-enactment group to this year's event, bringing a selection of 8th Cavalry equipment for people to look at and try on.
Last year's Tabletop Sale was a great success and was fully booked up all day long. For only £1 per half hour slot, you can sell as much as you like, with no commission at all! You can deal directly with the buyers, answer any questions they may have, and also keep an eye on your goods. Once your time is up (or better still, you've sold everything!), you can walk away, cash in hand, and enjoy the rest of the show! This year we'll try and add a couple more tables, but please make sure to book in early if you can. Bookings can be made through the contact section of the website: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!contact/cn3p (http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/#!contact/cn3p)
As well as the main Battleground website here: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/ (http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/) you can also follow our Facebook page for the latest updates: https://www.facebook.com/BattlegroundShow?ref=hl (https://www.facebook.com/BattlegroundShow?ref=hl)

A mere 157.8 miles for me and just under 3 hours on the road.
Where are you coming from? The Moon?
So. We'll see you there, Mart?
[3 Hours 26 minutes by car for me. 10 hours 5 minutes by train and bus. Nearly December .... er ..... probably no ...... still, if I can persuade Mrs Westie ...... ]
Sorry just been informed by the Boss I mean darling wife I will be doing what all Welshmen should Selling Sheep ;D ;D ;D ;D

Definitely going. My favourite show of the year, if I'm honest. Not too big, nor too small. Good venue with good facilities. Good selection of games and traders. Also it doesn't hurt your feet to walk around the place as the floor is wooden and it being all in one place there's no trekking around to find things. The organisers are easy to find and willing to help you out, should you need them, too.
The games for this year's show are filling up nicely, so far we've got the following booked in:
PARTICIPATION
Consett Tabletop Gamers Society
Chase the Exec-Wing: A fast paced multi-player game based on Fantasy Flight's popular X-Wing, where a squadron of Ties is tasked with hunting down a single X-Wing flown by one of our team.
AND
Great Escape - Based on the current Warhammer 40k system, this game puts players in charge of a handful of survivors as they await extraction to a new safe haven. The human survivors will have to hold on to their extraction point for a set time with only limited ammo against random squads of alien/daemon/traitor/undead enemies.
Durham Raiders
Something To Do With Dice - Spaghetti Western inspired Wild West skirmish game.
Guisborough Gamers
Sands of the Sudan - A good dusting in the Sudan, can you relieve the garrison in time?
Malifaux
Based in an alternate Earth, Malifaux uses gothic, steampunk, and victorian horror with a dose of the wild west to inject fun and depth into the magical lawlessness of a world rife with monsters, necropunks, man-machine hybrids, gunslingers, and powerhungry politicos. Actively using character-driven stories to define the world of Malifaux, seek your fortune in this fast paced and brutal 32mm tabletop miniature skirmish game. Assemble your crew and stake your claim!
Redcar Ironbeards
Capture the Port - WW2 game using Rapid Fire rules. The Americans are deployed in a layered defence setup with the objective of stopping the opposition breaking through the defences and capturing the bridge linking the town to the port facility.

According to the map, Techno Towers is 294 miles from Middlesbrough.......Mart lives another 20 or so miles further away. :(
Cheers - Phil
Well don't turn left as you go out the house.
:P
I turn left 99% of the time when I leave the house.
The right turn is a really horrid wiggly-windy' road which I avoid, as much as possible.
Only go that way, to meet the library van, once a month. :D
Cheers - Phil
=D> <:-P
Looks a good selection of games.
Though I'm now dreading being roped into playing in a few, since I know people running them. Totally ruins my miserable sod image [-(
I'm going to be a normal show-goer this time, so I s'pose I'll have to pay this year to get in :'(

I turn left 100% of the time when I leave the house, otherwise I fall over the fence into next door.
I turn right, or I'm in my garage, which only has one door!
I always turn left - it's a one way st.

Well there's your problem right there!
Having been sent round some very tiny wriggle roads down your end Techno, I can sympathise! The sat-nav had a habit of deciding we wanted to see "scenic" routes and sending us either along coastal routes you couldn't get a moped down, or through the firing range at awkward times of the day ;)
Nice views and cool rally driving mind ;)
When Meirion popped over to see me.....I sent him 'non sat-nav' instructions how to get to Techno Towers.
From where he was staying, it's a fairly straightforward drive......As long as you don't take the 'short cuts' the sat-nav will give you.
Those are OK(ish) if you know the area.....But if not..... ;D ;D ;D ;D (I certainly don't use the short cuts.....They take longer, anyway.)
Rallying ?.......We get one of those past us, every year, early morning, late in Autumn (They always warn us though.)
It's surprised me that there's never been a bad accident. Though they very occasionally take a lump out of the stone walls that border the roads.
Cheers - Phil
It was more ME rallying than other drivers, all felt a bit like I'd stepped into a very realistic and awkward driving sim :D
After the first years visit you get to know which is the bad route and avoid them ;)
Am really looking forward to the show. The stafford and district crew will probably travel up on the Friday. Any good hotels close by? Any recommendations of a good curry house as well? 😀

There's a Premier Inn only a mile away, where a lot of the traders stay: http://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/county-durham/stockton-on-tees/stockton-on-teesmiddlesbrough.html?cid=GLBC_MIDTAL The prices are usually quite reasonable, around £30-£35 per night. There's a restaurant next door to it, or there's a whole variety of restaurants just over the A66 in Teesside Park.

I am promising myself a visit next year. Unfortunately finances won't take the strain this year as it will mean a couple of nights overnight.

No worries, I'll make a note to contact you about that closer to the time.

:-\ Just been watching a video-thingy from Crisis 2014 (fair enough, a few years too late, but first time I'd seen it!) and just wondered about strapping a camcorder to Leon, setting to record, and as he's walking around the show - checking everything's okay - there'd be a video of the show to show-off later.
I won't suggest the official show photographer do the video, as she's busy all day as it is, and its always a case of Leon never looking very busy on the day :d ;D
;)
-- Just made my first 'pick-up at show' order, today, with KRMulticases / Lesley's Bits Box.
Got me name down to play in two games, also.
Can't make it. Please don't feel bad - it's not personal.

I think it would be pretty boring for everyone, just me moving tables, carrying trader stock, checking exit doors and closed, wandering about aimlessly... :D

Let me in early and I'll photograph everything and everyone, throughout the day! I can even provide my own camera - though you'd need to provide any lights, if wanted?
Quite happy to forego playing games, and my camera is capable of taking well-lit and good images, with a good ability to photograph 'macro' close-ups. Pictures could be emailed, or transferred via USB connection to computer at your unit after the date.
So if you do require a hand, with camera duties, I'm very willing to offer my services.
I think we'll be OK but I'll give you a shout if I find we're short. Once the doors open at 10am, I should be able to grab 45 minutes or so to have a run around the games. If you'll be taking pictures anyway, we can always point people towards your blog after the show, more photos is never a bad thing!

Take care

We've got a great group of re-enactment groups attending Battleground this year, including:
Durham Pals
The Durham Pals are a group that portray the 18th Battalion Durham Light Infantry in the Great War. Their primary aim is to commemorate the current 100th anniversaries of World War One. They are involved with events at locations like Beamish Open Air Museum, giving talks regarding various aspects of the War and also participating in commemorative events. The group is locally based but has membership across the country.
More information can be found at their website www.durhampals.org.uk
Lonestar Group
An 1876 era 8th Cavalry display group featuring original items from the period. People can handle original weapons and try on some of the kit, whilst learning about left with the US cavalry during the era. We talk about the Battle of Little Big Horn and the wider 1876 campaign. For 2016 we have added a full US Cavalry saddle, complete with tack, equipment and personal kit.
More info about what we do can be found on our website: http://thelonestar.yolasite.com/
Vanguard
Led and founded by William Mckenzie, a seasoned re-enactor, the group 'Vanguard' are a North-Eastern based medieval battle re-enactment group, operating out of Hartlepool but enjoying battle events throughout the UK. The group re-enacts the battles and combat of the medieval period, primarily taking up the arms and armour of 13th century England. However, with the group meeting and practicing every week – and due to the style of medieval weapons and armour – the group is physically equipped to adapt and enjoy participating in battle events set from early 11th century to mid-14th century.

By Bus:
Regular services run from Stockton and Middlesbrough to Teesdale and X1 services from Newcastle, Durham, Sedgefield and Middlesbrough stop outside the Holliday Building on University Boulevard. There are several bus stops on the campus, the closest ones for Battleground being either the Holliday Building stop, or outside the Stockton Riverside College.
By Train:

The Transpennine Express provides a direct approximately hourly service from Manchester Airport, Manchester, Leeds and York to Thornaby.
Northern Rail operate a regular service from Saltburn to Newcastle and Bishop Aukland that stops at Thornaby and Durham.
Once you arrive at Thornaby Station, climb the steps and turn right onto the footbridge. Walk over the footbridge and turn right along Station Street. At the roundabout go straight over onto Harvard Avenue, signposted 'University Campus', with the glass fronted buildings on your right. Continue down this road, past the entrance to Stockton Riverside College, until you reach another roundabout. Turn right here, signposted 'University of Durham'. As you reach another roundabout, the venue will be to your right, a white and grey building with the curved sports hall roof visible and 'Durham University Sports' written on the side.
