Salute 2023

[Sterling Moose]

Flights booked.  Anyone want to meet up at Oshiro for a meet and greet this year?

[OSHIROmodels]

Me!

 

[Sterling Moose]

That's a relief

[Dolmot]

Nothing booked or even properly planned yet, but this Salute 50 thing intrigues me after several foiled Tactica attempts and not visiting Salute since 2010. UK companies have also been largely absent from this side of the channel recently, and even the online shopping experience is quite awful these days (for breasons). So maybe I could save money by flying there and buying everything.

I won#t be able to make it this year as my father is turning 85 on the date. Next year is planned though.

Hey Sterling Moose,
Have a great time. Bri g back lots of stories. Hope to see you and chat about your adventure abroad at Hotlead.

We should try and get together for some gaming sessions like we used to in the past.
Regards

Funny that!

I'll be there, but you already know that

We are planning to show up this year. 
However, compared to our last visit back in 2018 or 19 the hotel situation seems much more difficult (getting rooms at reasonable prices).
Additionally there's the ULEZ issue that's new.
My idea now is to book an accomodation outside of all these zones and to get to Excel by public transport.

As we'll depart after the show via Dover an accommodation to the south seems reasonable to me.

Maybe someone here can help me to find a  town/area that is suitable to reach Excel by train and/or DLR on Saturday without too much of travelling time?

Thanks

There's Woolwich, Deptford and Lewisham that are all on the DLR and south of the river with Woolwich being the closest. You can get to Dover from Woolwich as well which might be easy for you (if you're coming from Europe by train).

The train to Woolwich from Dover is around an hour and three quarters give or take. Driving to Woolwich, god only knows

Thanks a lot,

I'll check it out this weekend when I am back from Japan 

[Captain Blood]

I’ll be there (to love and comfort you)

Hope you have a good trip 

[Bullshott]

I'll be there with a (small) shopping list.

[zebcook]

I too will be there with a small shopping list. It's a long flight home (and I really don't need more figures).

I'd love too but alas I'll be manning my own little stall. Do pop over to TC14 and say hello!
