Title: Schools Gaming Follow Up
Post by: psutcliffe on 18 November 2019, 01:11:46 PM
I thought people would be interested to know that, following the amazing response I had to my original post about gaming in school, we're back up and running with our first pupil this week with two more sessions and pupils booked in tomorrow and Wednesday!

Today was runing Black Powder and ACW in 10mm using the beautiful minis kindly donated by Andrew Brentnall.

We have permission to use the pupils in our social media so I've attached a link to the post where you can see some pics. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5AgPMSl_M1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Thanks for posting, Paul.  What this shows is what people like Paul can do with figures which have been languishing in our forgotten piles for years. I am truly grateful to him for  giving me an opportunity to move these figures on, and see them valued and useful at last after nigh on  twenty years on the shelf.   More power to your elbow, Paul!

Thanks for helping out Andrew, and good to see them getting some use!
