Alas not, family get together on Saturday.

Me neither. Sadly, Mrs Sade is away so I'm unruly dog wrangling.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Yes, I am. So is Mike.

While I'm busy on Sunday morning, I would be able to go if the Train fare was a bit less then it is. Can't fully justify it right now for what it is sadly.

Hope things going well and it's a good event for all ^_^

 

[Golgfag1]

Not many of us then, well if any of you change your mind see you there.

Well, that was a surprise, Colours wasn't packed and there wasn't a three deep queue for the bring and buy, quite comfortable day to be honest, but I didn't get there until about 13:00pm so there may have been an early rush! I took a steady walk around the venue across three floors taking in all the sights, perused the B&B (twice) didn't spot anything of interest, but I did spot a few bits and pieces on Pirate Rich Paints stall, always worth a look at painting services, as they may have something old they've splashed a little colour over in this case a few early Citadel giants, trolls and other eye candy including a unit of Gnomes. Will be taking a look at their web site later.
Spoke the Geoff, who appeared to be doing well, even picked up a few pieces myself, paints from Great escape Games and a model windmill from Beowulf Painting Services, who were doing a deal on Fungi! I made my way home after passing the time of day with old friends discussing rule sets, miniatures and respective families.

Pick up a calendar?

Sounds like a nice day out. Will be interested to see the windmill, always love a good windmill model.
Nice barrows in that first photo. Just recently passed the Barrow Wights in LOTR so barrows are in my mind again.

 

[Fimm McCool]

It felt very sedate. No crowd, no rush, lots of space. But takings were up so no complaints either!

 

[Golgfag1]

Just put the windmill together 'dry' really happy to see how it looks, also how comprehensive they've provide all the parts for it to work via a Lego power block, great.
