COTSWOLD WARGAMING DAY
Sunday 1st September 2019
Westwoods Community Centre
Bassett Road
Northleach GL54 3QJ

I hesitate to call this a 'show' - it is rather a gathering of local wargamers in the Coitswolds area, with some friends coming from farther afield. The Day is in its second year.

The event is about wargamers coming together in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere to do a bit of gaming, have a chat, and swap stories and opinions. There are no traders, but there will be 'Wargaming Exchange' area to swap/sell/buy/give away wargaming stuff in an informal way. This year, 8 games are planned. I request a voluntary £5 contribution to cover costs. Free tea, coffe and biscuits.

Check out last years event at the link below. This year is planned to be a bit bigger (second link).

Last year looked a great day out and I wish you the best of luck with this year

A bit far to travel from the antipodes unfortunately ;)

Sadly I am on holiday or I would be there ... especially as there is a rumor that there might be an BKCIV game with an armoured train making an appearance.
I'd love to see some photos and read a account of the game - pretty please  :D

Have a great day Keith. Unfortunately the cost and time of travelling by public transport rules not out for me.

I think I replied by email ... it's in the diary. Bloody Big Battles may have to happen.

I'll do a review soonish, all being well, but it was a great day out, with fun had by one and all.

Looks like it was great fun, indeed.  :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

The pointing was very much on point.
