Is it too early to start anticipating Salute 2016? :)

[Sterling Moose]

Flights are booked so I should be there (don't tell the volcanoes though).

Grabbed a room at a local motel so I don't have to stop drinking to catch the last train out.

Looking forward to seeing everybody and partaking in a little shopping.

Already looking forward to it...already know what I want to buy....already know I'll have extra funds if I bring my own sandwiches

[Lovejoy]

I'm not so much anticipating it, as fearing it... it'll be our first trip to Salute, and the first time we've gone to a show as traders rather than visitors. Never even visited a show further south than Sheffield before... baptism of fire time! 

cheers

Sadly it looks like a no-show for me. Couldn't get a table to run a game, and same story for several other gamers I know. I think it has booked up very quickly this year for games.

Curiously, when the pre-event information came round, the theme was HG Wells' Little Wars, which has now changed to Steampunk. I wonder if the theme will ever be WW1 on one of the hundredth anniversary years? Time is running out...

Never too early! We're gearing up for the big day. Trading and hope to have four gaming tables - that will include a quick drop demo spot.

Trading as Bad Squiddo Games/The Dice Bag Lady , super excited, it's always a bit of a whirlwind. Lots of releases planned, so all that sort of stress 

[The Dozing Dragon]

.... am currently shuddering at the cost of train travel....£84 return from Stockport to London Euston. 

Managed to get return train for £47 which is a lot better (I just rechecked the virgintrains site the other night and there were cheaper ones available suddenly)...Salute tickets bought....now just near beer and lead money.........

Hell yeah, looking forward to it.
will indulge myself in some impulse buys (nothing excessive) and try to meet up with 6milphil.
Also will check if I can get some more of my AvP wave 2 stuff from Prodos  .

Finally got the hotel booked, and ordered an acrylic display case... now I just need to paint the minis to put in it!

I'll be there helping out with Jimbibbly's game

EDIT: A change in plan involving spending the wekeend with friends means I will be queueing as a normal punter this year. However, I will still be popping over to the Oshiro Dorset Smugglers game from time to time to cover for anyone needing a break.

Looking forward to some shopping

Yep, Gophering at Ainsty as usual

If anyone wants pre-orders (including Footsore and 1672) let Andy know in plenty of time 'cos he'll be away at the start of April (lucky whatsit!)

If you regularly help Andy out I must have spoken to you several times over the years (Smoggycon and Battleground?) and not realised. Andy was deep in conversation with someone at Battleground last time so I didn't talk to him but might it have been you who sold me my stuff (including the Danger 5 box set impulse buy!)? I obviously don't expect you to remember individual customers, just wondering if it was you that was there?
