Beachhead 2020, Saturday 8th February
« on: January 23, 2020, 11:13:32 PM »
Anyone going to Beachhead show in Bournemouth? Normal show on Saturday 8th, Tournaments only on Sunday 9th.

On the Saturday I'll be running my Fistful of Fish game (a Victorian underwater skirmish using Fistful of Lead rules - see my thread on the VSF board).

I'll be going down on Saturday morning, it's a good show to have a bit of a wander round. Not huge, but still a good mix of traders and games and less crowded than some shows can get.

I'll be there Saturday.

@ TheBlackCrane - it's going to be much bigger this year.  Lots more traders, more tournaments and demo games.

Yes - I saw what's on the website. Wasn't saying smaller was bad - just that compared to say Colours when it gets really crowded that Beachhead is more relaxed :D

I've just heard back from Andy who runs the gaming at Beachhead. Next year is planned to be a full 2 day show.

I was there!  Didn't see this thread before.

Beachhead was terrific, actually.  Really good venue, easy parking, easy loading, good organization and I met some terrific folk.

Oh, yeah, and my best trading day ever.
