Forumites Falkirk Foray

[Ithoriel]

So it's Carronade 2016 in Falkirk this weekend, any interest in doing as others have done and stepping out from behind our forum monikers for a group meet/ photo?

Midday in the vicinity of the Pendraken stand seems to have been popular option elsewhere.

Carnation buttonholes, rolled copies of The Times and zither music optional

Any takers?

Any takers? 

I'm game if first of all the forum members buy something (everything) from my charity stall then I'll be free to be a normal wargamer again.

I'll be there. Never been able to make it to Falkirk in previous years and, besides, I have a Pendraken order to pick up(!). Only problem is I don't yet know when I'll be there (I tend to go at my own pace) but being closer it should be much easier than York (when I was held up by traffic and missed the 12.00 rendezvous). Going over to Arran over the next few days but I'll log-in on Friday to see if a specific time is agreed upon.

Sounds good to me, there's usually a bit of space at the front of our stand at Falkirk, so should be room to mingle!

[Genom]

I will be kicking about directing people at the beginning of the day no doubt, I may even pluck up the gumption to actually say hi this year. I'm always conscious of the fact that although I may want to stop and chat to people, that they've got a business to run on the day and I may just be getting the way of that.

I'll be there running a game but won't be able to get away as I am on my own. It's Monty's Wargaming World/TooFatLardies if anyone wants to stop by.

Kind regards,

Richard

Can't make it myself, but it will be interesting to see a photo so I can put faces to the Scots members of the Forum. Already met Jim at York.

I hope its a successful and good show, and that those popping along have a good time!

And if anyone would like to continue the trend that's been occurring at several recent shows ...

... If someone (or more) could pop along to the Colonel Bills stall and ask for Roy, that would really make me giggle  

Can't make it myself, but it would be great to see and hear about the show - Kudos to anyone who photographs the Colonel Bills lads. I won't ask for photo's of Leon Pendraken, as he seemingly gets grumpy when he's caught on camera    

[Ithoriel]

I'll lurk around the Pendraken stand at midday. If others can make it that will be great, if not I'll happily spend a while people watching and/or fattening Leon and Dave's bank balances depending how spending has gone to that point.

To aid those who are turning up, and also those wanting enough warning to dive under a nearby stall to avoid me, I attach a photo. No guarantee I'll have the owl though.

Roy and Richard, I will hunt you down ... err, make my way to the appropriate stand and say hello.

[Westmarcher]

Didn't make it to the show today due to illness. Immensely disappointed. 
Leon, if you read this, my apologies for not showing up to collect my order. Will contact you shortly.
Hope everyone else who made it had a great time. 

[Roy]

Photos are up on the Pendraken and Minibits Facebook pages ... As usual, its a game of 'Where's Leon?'  

Nice shot of the Westerhope club's Assaye game in the photo - though I'd like to see some close-ups, please  

Hope it is nothing too unpleasant Westmarcher

Thanks and hopefully just a 24 / 48 hour thing, Roy. Some vile bug involving lots of vomiting, feeling dizzy and as weak as a kitten.

Ooooh! Nasty!


Get well soon Fellah!

[Ithoriel]

Sorry not to see you there Westmarcher - hope you feel better soon.

I had a great time, spent less than I expected, talked to more people than I expected, added several items to my "to buy in the future" list.

Only downside for me was taking the best part of a hundred photo's only to find when I got home that the memory card was corrupted and all of the files are shambled

Try a Windows disc repair, it might work!
