Title: AAR - VBCW Herefordshire Big Game, March 8th 2014
Post by: jp1885 on March 11, 2014, 11:37:30 AM
Hi folks!

With 14 players (including one or two LAFers) spread over 3 tables, last Saturday saw the biggest VBCW Herefordshire Big Game yet!

Apologies to those of you who don't like clicking external links, but there was so much going on that it would take me ages to write it all down here, so please do take a look at my blog at http://hereford1938.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/swap-shop-herefordshire-big-game-8th.html to see what happened.

If you're not tempted, then the least I can do is share some photos of the day!

I'll sneak in here with a plug for my, sorry, Sir Gilbert Hill's unbiased AAR of the action on the most important table which just happens to be the one he was on.

A truly memorable day's gaming with lots of very splendid chaps and the now customary excellent work from Jon and Giles to set it up:

mystical waving of arms ensues - a low murmuring "Do not resist - fall headlong into VBCW - Giles (Eric the Shed) - is running a game at BLAM. Resistance is definitely futile........."

Have you got the message yet, Paul...?
