Steve, great report, sorry we didn't get to chat, but glad to see you got some good photos of the 'Little men'.  I was pleased they got a decent amount of attention from visitors for whom the 'big' option we were presenting was not really a practical one for the dining room table!  Most of the other shows I have done most of my time has been spent running the games, this time I wanted to concentrate on talking to people as we had some great help running things from Tim Thompson and Ian Notter.  Loved the chatting - thinking of taking it up as a career!

We really enjoyed Colours this year, definitely more people through the door and it was nice to see so many people out and about enjoying themselves.  Sales were good too, not quite back to their best but certainly better than the 2018/2019 events.
www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 10,000 products, including nearly 5000 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints, Tiny Tin Troops flags and much, much more!

Really glad to hear you had a good day on the sales front, considering the increased costs you incur at present for obvious reasons, as well as the punters having fiscal issues too.

I wasn't going to be able to make it this year due to a fixture clash with my daughter's first match of the season, but will all soccer cancelled a trip to Croydon with post match meatballs at Ikea was substituted for a nice day out at Newbury!

Saw Mollinary from an distance.  (The table looked great, but you were busy every time I passed and I didn't like to interrupt.)

Managed to miss Steve and Chris, but had a good catch up with Leon and Adele.

Happy days!

Hopefully see people again at Warfare in November.
