any chance of a list of the stuff for those not going to Salute would be interested in,

me I'm interseted in the Medieval army packs, 10mm MDF buildings, WWII vehicles  :)

I'll see what's left over after Salute and might put a list up here.  If there's much left we'll be bringing it all up to Falkirk as well.

Battleground in Middlesbrough?!   ;) :D

:-\

I thought it was listed as being from Stockton-on-Tees.

Middlesbrough is historically part of North Yorkshire - as its south of the River Tees

Stockton-on-Tees is historically part of County Durham - as its north of the River Tees

So, is Battleground a North Yorkshire show? Or a County Durham show?

And, yes, these things do matter [to a Yorkshireman!]  :D

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

It should be a North Yorkshire show Roy as the venue is technically on the south side of the Tees  :) :)

If anyone's interested... The Pendraken FB page has updated to say they've arrived and are stuck in a big queue to get in!

Greetings

Thanks to Dave and Leon for spending a few minutes to chat at Salute today. I hope the day was satisfactory for Pendraken.

Leon and I chatted about future developments including BKC, Panzer III with 5cm kurz and tripod MG34s!

Regards

I'm a minimum of 416 miles away according to Google...

No matter how many time I ask - or how nicely - Google refuses to give me the driving distance  :(

I use classic AA route planner. I gives the distance, time and directions, all for free :)

Some initial thoughts on the day:

Seemed much busier than last year (6K advance tickets sales).
Much more space around the dispay/demo games, so easier to see what's going on.
Lighting gave me and my chums a headache and the acoustics as well.
So much to see that it's hard to take it all in.

When mind and body rested will put some thoughts on my Blog.

I think you head for New York, turn right and keep going for three and a half thousand miles. You have to leave your car at New York though!

Dang! It didn't work either!  ;)

Thanks for the intial report  however  :)
The largest I've been to is HISTORICON - perhaps half the attendance on the biggest day.
Hope the Pendrakeneers did well!

Was good to have a chat with the Pendraken guys today, seemed to be a good turnout as usual.

What!

There was time to chat?

Was always told that each trader had a 6 deep scrum in front of them.

I think you meant to ask if it was a North Riding show

How anything can be 'historically' part of North Yorkshire is beyond me.
