Hi Everyone,
Just a quick shout-out to the Wargamers Show 2023.
The venue for the show is the 100-acre Scout Hut, Aldridge Road, Streetley, Sutton Coldfield, B74 2EB. Sunday, 1st October 2023, 9.30 - 16:00. 60 parking spaces are available on site.
The 937 and 997 buses are on a Sunday limited timetable. It is not exactly Wembley Stadium, but better than nothing. No information about entrance fees. There are 9 traders on the list so far. I don't know about any bring-and-buy tables, but if not, set up in the car park.

I did manage to attend the show, but I was not feeling at my best, due to having the Covid 19 vaccine and Flu jabs in both arms the day before. (The journey on public transport took about two hours each way for me, so I was rather shell-shocked, through being bounced around by the time I arrived). Some of the other Battle Circle members were there, having arrived earlier. I tried to order food from the pub next door, but they were too slow, so I left, unimpressed.
I was hoping for more magazines and rule books in the second-hand section. They did have large collections of painted figures and vehicles, just not what I was looking for at the moment. I did purchase some scout figures for my 5 Parsecs game. Other things in the main hall were out of my price range or covering subjects I had already had rules for.

| I think this was a Zombies game of some sort, run by "The Guards Club". I think they can be found at "Thye Church of Saint Thomas Moore Parish Hall or possibly next door in the Primary School on Friday nights. Please confirm the details before going. Corner of Horse Shoe Lane and Church Road. (71 and 60 bus routes). |

Thanks to the show organisers and all who came along to support it or sell us goodies.
