Colours 2022 Free entry

[Golgotha]

Anyone going?

"Colours 2022 is go!!

10am Saturday 10th September 2022


IMPORTANT UPDATE 1st June 2022

We've decided to make entry FREE. Yes FREE. Why have we decided to do this?

- We've all missed shows over the last couple of years and we think a few have been lost and wont come back. Shows work when they have a great reputation and the balance of atttendees to traders is right. No punters and the trade wont come.

- We really want a good turn out - its good for the traders and why we put on a show

This doesnt mean Colours will always be free but this year it feels like the right thing to do.


Dear wargamer,

We took the tough decision to hold back in 2021 for the safety of our members and you the public.

We are therfore pleased to tell you that Colours 2022 is on!

It will be at our usual venue (Newbury Racecourse) and a one day event. Keep the date 10th September 2022 free and join us dome some great traders, demo games and of course the bring and buy.

Traders: a large number of you carried over the deposits from last year. We will be in touch to discuss this years show. Obviosly we will confirm these bookings before we can fully confirm new bookings. A booking form will be posted in the near future on our Facebook page and here."

I will be there helping to run a BBB Hungary 1848 demo/participation game, the same scenario as reported on here:

Would be grand to meet any LAFfers there. Please come by and say hello - or even push some troops around and roll a few dice!

I & some mates will be turning up to spend some money.
The lead mountain ain't wot it used to be.

Be great to see you both Has.Been and ChrisBBB.

Looking forward to the show and maybe picking up some more minis.

[ChrisBBB]

Grand - see you there!

I'm coming down with Wargames Illustrated. I'll be hanging around their stand during the day, plus I'll be checking out the games.

[ChrisBBB]

Nick, sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you (or did I?). Golgotha, has.been - did you make it and did we talk? IT was all a blur and I didn't catch everyone's name!

Brief show report here

with a link to Steve J's much more lavish and comprehensive report as well.

No we didn't talk. I went to look at the games but kept getting collared for a chat. I saw your game though, hope you enjoyed the day.

Sorry, but missed you. Squeezed in a chat with Golgotha (very nice guy by the way)
and I nearly missed that. My phone was on (rare for me) but he sent me a Text to
say he had arrived, so the phone never rang.

[ChrisBBB]

Nick: sounds like you were in demand too, which has to be good! I did point a few potential customers your way.

Has.been: glad you and Golgotha caught up, at least.

See y'all another time, I hope.
