Afraid not.  We usually go and put on a game but this year we were not notified of the date or venue.  This is the first I've seen of it.

Pity the advertising is so poor now that it has moved to bigger and, hopefully, better premises.

I am intending to go.
I would normally go with my Brother as well (AndyM) but the lucky git is away on holiday.

I'd love to go, but sadly I'm working.

I should have a bit of flexibility on the Saturday, and I'm tempted to see if I can make it along for a couple of hours... but I'm not sure.

Any Idea of the traders going?

Cheers
Andy

Well I went to this and the train journey there was longer than the time I spent in the show, 25 min :(
Not impressed at all. Only a hand full of games and none of the caught my eye. Had my camera with me but never used it once.
I don't think the change of venu has helped at all.

 Just got back in from this show.

 I think the show was good.Could be bigger but that can change with support.I know today there were three game show's on.So traders have had to decide which show to attend.

 On the way back we dropped into KFC at Gretna Green services.I could not believe my eyes when I saw Russell Crowe in the queue behind me.

 There was a very nice Space Hulk game put on.The set-up was amazing.There was also a viking typer game which was really big.

It was OK, and there's definitely potential in the new venue.  It does suffer from a lack of advertising, but as far as I know, they've expanded the organising team, so hopefully this will improve next year.

We've got some pics and a small report on our Forum: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2970.0
