Anybody know if the Perry Bros are bringing the metals as I don’t see Dave Thomas on the roster?

I found it highly enjoyable. As busy as I'd ever seen it when I arrived at 11:30 ish, but it seemed to thin out fairly quickly through the afternoon, and some traders were packing up and leaving quite early. Nice variety of traders to cater for the loss of some former regulars such as Donnington, Kallistra and The Square. The B&B was a bit meh (again), but it's never been my favourite. Games were all shunted up to the top floor, so I didn't give them as much attention as I should have. Still very much up for next year though, weather and the Elizabeth Line permitting...

Nice to meet you too.

I believe there was some problem with card authorisations, I don't know if that was why some were leaving early.

The B&B was a bit meh (again),

I completely agree. It has needed a revamp for years.
An island would be a big improvement, as would some OBVIOUS sectioning of items, e.g. 40k / Historical (Ancients on the left through to Sci-Fi on the right) /
Items need to be CLEARLY marked with their price, (I had to ask several times, 'What's the price of...'

Still really liked the show & spent more than I intended.

Enjoyed the time i spent there, had travelled down day before, first show for years, only thing was the B&B a bit of a scrum, and well one or two need to remember manners. Besides that will come back again.

Gave up on the B&B due to the crowds, the backpacks & some people with breath that could have felled an ox.

The venue could do with upping their catering game. Having card only outlets with single coffee machines is a recipe for grumpy caffeine-deprived punters. Surely there are enough people at Colours to open up a few of the concession stands?
