Got there and back safe and sound, not so bad once I got onto the A roads.
Had to leave by early afternoon, but enjoyed what I saw - always like to look round Vapnartak, and great to have our figures on the Caliver Books stand - where they should be able to be found at all the major shows and more  :D

Just got back myself. Absolutely peachy run there and back to Cumbria.

Bit disappointing this year, I thought. A few empty stalls, but if people were facing worse weather than we did I can understand it. Also, did I miss part of the West Wind stall, or did they only have SOTR stuff and a demo of their new game? I was after some Victorian/Gothic stuff and couldn't see it anywhere...

Mind you, the army of fat sweaty backpackmen was probably obscuring my view of a lot of stuff by that point, or the red rage they bring out in me was, anyway...

Given the amount of snow and the parlous state of the roads, I didn't think the turnout was too bad at all. It wasn't so crowded you can take both feet off the floor and not fall down, but where's the fun when it is?

I managed to be parted from my money and had a great time.

 Had a good show and got to chat with lots of people.There were over 900 through the doors I was told.A third down from last year.

 Never got to have a look around which is just aswell as I dont need any more miniatures.Well I do but I restrained myself.

 Some very nice looking games being played from what I saw.

Well the snow did for Terry & me this time. Darkest Newark was a no-go zone, so '221B ' stayed in its packing boxes. A shame not to meet some of you fine gents at the show - I hope to see some of you at Hammerhead this Sunday

I spent alot of money on strong drink & toy soldiers - the rest I just wasted...
