Title: Show dates for 2012!
Post by: Leon on 05 January 2012, 02:05:38 AM
Here's a basic list of next years shows, with hopefully the right dates for them all!  The only one missing from last year is the Cavalier show down in Tonbridge, which has proved just that little too far to go for a small show in recent years.

Vapnartak, York - Sun 5th Feb
WMMS, Wolverhampton - Sun 11th Mar
Salute, London - Sat 21st Apr
Carronade, Falkirk - Sat 5th May
Triples, Sheffield - Sat/Sun 19th/20th May
Wappinshaw, Glasgow - Sat 2nd Jun
Durham Wargames Show - Sat 9th Jun
Phalanx, St Helens - Sat 16th Jun
Claymore, Edinburgh - Sat 4th Aug
Border Reivers, Newcastle - Sat 1st Sep
Colours, Newbury - Sat/Sun 8th/9th Sep
Worlds, Derby - Sat/Sun 6th/7th Oct

Skelp, Forfar - Sat 20th Oct
Fiasco, Leeds - Sun 27th Oct
Crisis, Antwerp - Sat 3rd Nov
Warfare, Reading - Sat/Sun 17th/18th Nov
Smoggycon, Middlesbrough - Sat 24th Nov
Recon, Leeds - Sat 1st Dec

And don't forget the Pendraken 20th Anniversary celebration, which is on July 14th!  More details can be found here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,4487.0.html (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,4487.0.html)

Not at the moment, not looking for any new ones yet.  It's on my shortlist though for when we do start thinking about new shows.

I've heard on the grapevine that SELWG is moving forward a weekend this year, so that puts it on Sun 14th Oct, so Skelp are looking at moving back into SELWG's old weekend, so they'll now be on Sat 20th Oct!

Yeah, we're flexible that way.   ;)

Just to confirm, Skelp is now on the 20th Oct!

Just a quick update on this, we now won't be attending SELWG this year, so I've updated the list.

Apologies for that, I've just fixed it now. Although I don't have Photoshop on the work machine, so it's quite obvious that I've just written over the top of the image in Paint...  :-[ :(

Its a shame Pendraken wont be at SELWG as Im going and its my first show, but I understand its difficult getting to all shows. I have just started getting into the wargame hobby and hope to pick up some 10mm tomorrow, figures, vehicles and a lot of terrain to get my table up an running. I dont even know how to play rules etc so hope tomorrow will be a learning experience aswell. Does anyone know any traders going to SELWG which would suit 10mm thanks Kev

Shame we weren't able to make it, it's always nice to meet up with folk.  Unfortunately the table costs had gone up quite a lot this year, so it wasn't viable for us to attend.  I'll pop you an email through about getting you sorted out.

In regards to other traders, pretty much all of the small scale (6/10mm) companies have dropped out of this one now I think.  Old Glory stopped a couple of years ago, Baccus dropped out last year, and now we're out as well.  So, there's only Magister Militum left.

:(

If anyone was planning on picking up some Pendraken goodies from SELWG, drop me an email and we'll get something sorted out.

Hi all, my son and I had a great day out at selwg yesterday and managed to get a couple of bargains. Also picked up some excellent terrain pieces from Timecast who were very helpful.
Overall a very friendly bunch at the show with some fantastic table layouts which my son was quite taken with ( hes only 5 ) Looking forward to the Reading show and hopefully meet up with forum members and the Pendraken crew. Cheers for now Kev.

Seemed a bit slower than last year, definitely less traders - I even came home with money in my pocket  :o

Kallistra were there, but their stand seemed smaller compared to last year.

There wasn't the crush there always was in the past. There did seem to be more traders in the main hall - and fewer games. They didn't seem to be using any of the side rooms this time around. Possibly just my perception, but there seemed to be more historical games and less fantasy.  And the standard of games was very high this year.
