2020 Show Dates!

[fred.]

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.

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

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!

[paulr]

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

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

Another update tonight with Colours cancelled as well.  I'm not sure if we'll get Border Reiver either as it's held in a sports stadium and it's unlikely that venues like that will be open to the public by then.

[Techno]

Shame......But I suppose, better safe than sorry.

Cheers - Phil

Really sorry to hear that, one of my favourite shows n one of my favourite venues.

Going to miss Newbury and catching up with Everyone 

Fingers crossed for Warfare at Ascot, but I very much doubt it will happen 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

You can go - but would have to self isolate afterwards for 14 days 

[Leon]

Fingers crossed for Warfare at Ascot, but I very much doubt it will happen 

We've not heard anything from Warfare since the start of the year so I'm not sure where we are with that.  There were some teething problems with the space allocation in the new venue so I think they were having a meeting to discuss options.  I'll see if any of the other traders have heard anything about it.

[toxicpixie]

I feel for the Wargamer crew in B'ham. They had to skip a year due to venue issues, found a nice venue last December, got decent numbers and now... probably no chance even in six months

[Last Hussar]

Worse - Haddenham Summer Beer festival is off.

Noooooooo
