With the new year comes another show season and it's not long before the Pendraken van will be setting off on tour once again!  

If you'd like to pre-order anything for any of these events, please make sure to let us know at least 7 days in advance!

There are a few changes to the schedule for this year, including:

- For the first time, Pendraken will be attending the 'Hammerhead' show at the end of February!
- The Call To Muster show won't be taking place this year.
- We won't be attending the Cannon show in Retford.
- As far as we know the Glasgow show won't be returning this year.
- Colours is back this year, but has been changed to a 1-day show instead.  From the trader side this is a good move, so we hope people come along and support it.
- We won't be attending the Crisis show in Antwerp this year unfortunately.  We've really enjoyed coming over to the continent and meeting up with our European customers, but the costs involved just don't make it viable when compared to the sales.
- Skelp has now been cancelled this year, as the Reid Hall is undergoing a refurbishment.

And also a plug for our very own Battleground show (formerly Smoggycon), which will be taking place on Saturday 28th November this year!

Hello,
I have just seen shows dates and I do not see Crisis in ANTWERP. I hope that it is a forgetting and that Pendraken will be present

However, one of these years I hope to make it across myself.

And once again you refuse to make the trip to the County Mayo Agricultural and ploughing Extravaganza. Worth the trip if only to see Mrs O'Malleys prize turnip collection

Disappointed!  >:(.
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

At the moment I can definitely say I will be at Phalanx this year as no Walking Club clash, and it's my local show.

Was thinking of going to Salute but the travelling time from and to Cumbria makes it not worth it. 

I guess the two I definitely will be attending are Triples and Phalanx, so looking forward to those.   :D

Obviously it would be great to get to Fiasco and Battleground, but have to see about work, family, and other commitments before deciding that far in advance.   :-\

It is a shame, but with costs approaching £1000 and 4 days away from the business, it was a big commitment.  There are a lot of traders at Crisis, so I think the spending money at the show is diluted very thinly among them all.

Hello Leon,
I do understand your point of view . it's just a shame for us who can't get to the show SALUTE for the same reasons.
It was nice to have contact with your team. Don't worry about your miniatures 10mm are our favorites.  :)

We heard at the Falkirk show last weekend that Skelp won't be taking place this year unfortunately.  The Reid Hall is undergoing refurbishment and there weren't any viable alternatives, so they'll be back for 2016 instead.
