You could have visited the Middlesbrough Medieval Fair while you were here, we call it 'Over The Border'...

Leon,

See my entirely serious and practical suggestion for your special birthday bash figure just posted on Clib's Sneak Peek preview of a new range thread from Ist April.

Hi Rubicon

I'll be sitting and watching your game - not exactly familiar with BKC yet so it will be a good learning opportunity - looking forward to the day!

Robert,

Join in and give it a go - the number of troops on the table increases quite slowly so you'll have a turn or two to grasp the basics - I'm more than happy to help out too..!!

Regards
Bob

We're getting close to the big day now, so here's some handy directions for getting to the venue!

The Marton Hotel is situated just off the side of the A174 to the south of Middlesbrough.  The Hotel is quite prominent, and is easily visible as you come off the sliproads.






So, if you are:-

Coming from the North:  Get yourself onto the A19 southbound, which will take you past Middlesbrough.  When you see the A174 (signposted 'Redcar' and 'Teesport') move into the left lane, and keep to the left as you take the sliproad and leave the A19.  Head east until you see this sign:



...and keep to the left to leave the dual carriageway.  At the top of the sliproad, the hotel is visible on the other side of the road, so take a left, and then turn right into the hotel carpark.

Coming from the South:  Again, get yourself onto the A19, this time north-bound.  As you approach Middlesbrough, watch again for the A174 (signposted 'Redcar' and 'Teesport'), and take the sliproad down to the roundabout.  Head right around the roundabout, and take the correct exit for the A174.  From here, follow the instructions above.

Coming from the East  If you're coming up the coast from Scarborough/Whitby way, you'll need to get yourself onto the A171, coming past Guisborough.  As you travel along with the Eston hills on your right hand side, keep going until you approach a roundabout with a small 'Nunthorpe' sign on the side of the road.  Take a left at this roundabout, signposted 'James Cook University Hospital'.  This road will curve around to the right, and you'll hit another roundabout, called 'Poole Roundabout'.  At this one, go straight over (ish), signposted 'Middlesbrough' and 'Marton'.  This road will bring you through a small set of lights, then a larger junction with lights, past a Tesco garage, and a parade of shops on your right.  Finally, you will come over the bridge over the A174, and the hotel is immediately on your right as you come through the set of lights.


Once you've got yourself to the Hotel, the entrance is adjacent to the car park.  As you come inside, take a right, and head up the small corridor and into the Sun Room!  Hopefully, I'll be able to pop out one of our Pendraken signs in the reception area so that people know where to go.



If you're coming from some random direction that I haven't included there, or are considering sky-diving in from above, let me know and I'll either sort some directions, or paint a giant 'X' in the hotel car park...  


I'll also have my mobile on me all day, so if you get completely stuck, give me a bell on 07950 397669 and I'll get you back on track!

Ave Mollinaary!

As the title says, who's coming to the Birthday Bash then?!  With the people attending with the games, plus the people I've spoken with elsewhere, there's gonna be a decent number of people attending on Saturday, so post up here if you're coming along as well!

(It's also handy for me to tell the venue!)

[robert]

Yes - really looking forward to it - and collecting my first order!

[Fenton]

Sorry Too much Irish Sea in the way

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Would love to, but with a 4 week old in the house, I'm too slepp deprived to get to the North East from here...

But if anyone want's to pick me up a Washington figure. 

[Mick Boddy]
