Will be there, the club I am in is doing a Bolt Action demo.  A small show when it started last year, it will be bigger this year and will, hopefully, fill a niche in the lack of shows in the SW.

Just picked this up:

MiniCon is on the 27th of this month; at the National Star College, Ullenwood GL53 9QU (between Leckhampton & Crickley Hill/Air Balloon). There's a lot more traders this year including Gripping Beast, Total Wargamer, Mantic, Warlord plus others, and they're doing a bring & buy.

Well, popped along to see this, much impressed with the venue and level of traders.  It bodes well for the future, I spoke to Robey, the organiser, and it seems that he is already planning to make next year's bigger and better.

Colonel Bill, Ainsty and Warlord all took money off me......

[Ramirez Noname]

It was good to see a few old friends and make some new ones.

Really enjoyed the show - good venue with friendly catering staff, too.

Spent a bit of cash and also took some phots which I'll post up later. Bargain of the day for me was a copy of Heroquest (MBG) for a tenner - complete, a bit scuffed but all the minis, furniture and doors plus a few extra figures.

Some good photo's there, almost feels like I was there myself  .

Well, I was careful with my spending, I bought the Ainsty wharf with an extra wall, a raft and a sampan.  Colonel Bill sold me a FIW Fort and a 17thC wagon.  Warlord sold me some pinned markers. Got so excited I went home and sorted out a small Copplestone order.

WMMS only 5 weeks' away......
