Cheers Gandalf!

This was a very impressive show in it's first year, we had a great time!  And not just because it's less than 5 minutes down the road... 

Traders attending so far:

Don't forget 'Minibits'...   

[Gandalf]

Thanks for that Leon.  It's been a lot easier pulling it together second time around.  Problems with the Bring and Buy and the catering should be sorted (fingers crossed) and with more traders and roughly the same number of tables, that should provide an even wider range of stuff than last year. 
An updated list of traders including Minibits is below    Pretty much all trading places are accounted for as long as everyone turns up...

Further to this, unfortunately Rumbling Guns/Battlefield Miniatures and Playwar.co.uk have had to withdraw from this year's show.
Instead we'll be joined by Bob McLesih from Rubicon Scenics and Dave Thomas has cancelled his trip to Milan to cross the Tees and come to Smoggycon

[Sandinista]

Milan or Teesside? I was born in the centre of town and loved growing up there but I think I'd opt for Milan 

[Gandalf]

From talking to Dave about his trip last year, he had a great time in Italy.  To be totally accurate (letting the truth get in the way of a good story), the event Dave was planning to go to in Milan was called off because of a funding issue so Smoggycon isn't much of a consolation.
