2020 Show Dates!

Where's your sense of priorities   

My eldest was born on a Friday, on the Saturday I went to a Society of Ancients day at the Tower of London all about Ancient China. Then visited the then wife and new daughter in the evening.

I was married for another 13 years after that. She said she didn't want me coming in on the Saturday as she was exhausted.

I only got away the night before and then night before that as the midwifes ordered t'other to let me go home. Otherwise she'd have had me in 24/7 so she could panic at me all round the clock instead of sleeping!

Just a quick update, there's a post on the SESWC Facebook page confirming that Claymore has been cancelled now so that's everything until September gone.  We've not had an update from Colours or Border Reiver yet but we'll let everyone know as soon as we hear anything.

That's a shame, but to be expected. I guess the later you leave cancelling, the more costs you have to cover.

Not sure if any shows will go ahead as I am not sure the likely attendance will make them viable

That makes me sad. Not that I had any plans to go to that show. But just the period of time with no wargames shows.

I know its for the best, and all things considered is pretty trivial.

If I go to shows Sunjester shows me things "I could use"

My bank manager doesn't like him.

It's definitely going to be weird not seeing anyone for such a long length of time.  I don't think the September shows will be able to run either, the restrictions on large gatherings will be in place for some time yet.  Fiasco in October might be the first one back.

There's SKELP and TARGE, both in Fife, in October and November, both small shows but maybe viable.

I doubt I'll be allowed to attend though as I'm currently being shielded as I'm an old guy with underlying health problems.

From my point of view it may be Carronade in May 2021 when I might be able (allowed) to go to a show.

Yes, difficult to know how many people will happily travel and congregate for shows this side of Christmas.  All my events up to the end of September have now either been cancelled or replaced by internet meetings as people are reluctant to travel in the current circumstances.  The good news is that there are signs that club premises might open up in July or August.; it would be a start.

I thought you showed him the Venice buildings the "he could use" at the last show you went to.  So perhaps his bank manager does not like you?

No, I had been eyeing up the Streets of Venice set online for ages. I dragged LR over to TTCombat to have a look, then pointed out the nearby set which would make a brilliant Evil Genius' lair.

I then rang home and said "You know that Venice set I keep drooling over, it's a third off at the show!".
The only response was "You had better buy it then!".
That why I am still with the same woman after 36 years!

The fact you rang rather than just turned up with it probably helps

Streets of Venice set?  What was it, a glass of water?
