Slow day yesterday but it did mean I got to wander around a bit more than normal (and fit in a sneaky pint  :D ).

Thanks to all those who popped by and said hello on either day  :)

cheers

A great couple of days. Lovely to see a few folks.

Heard lots of complaints about the B&B. Moving it to the Annexe is a good idea.

Really enjoyed it right up until the end. Myself and my partner wasn't given a programme or badge so I went and asked the guys at the door if I could have some when there I was accused of not paying and being called a liar. It was only sorted because the chap who took my money for entering said I had paid...

Needless to say I was extremely annoyed  :-[

I was surprised to note that the doors opposite our stand, opening on to the car park, were open and unmonitored all Saturday and Sunday. The organisers made it easy for people to get in without paying. Rather than being unpleasant to people like you who entered and paid properly, they should have had a more efficient stewarding of the various other entrances, ensuring that everyone in the show had entered legitimately. There would then have been no reason to cast doubt on you. A good show but some tightening up on issues like this is needed.

Yes my girlfriend said someone could easily sneak in. But we aren't like that. However can't let that ruin my day. Met some really nice people and had a damn good spend up  ;)

I had a great time at my first Colours show. Did not over-spend too much and won the painting prize for my Berbers so well chuffed.

Saw some really nice demo games and the only downside was some stinky games and even more stinky hotdogs they were eating.
