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

[Captain Blood]

I see from the ads in the wargaming press that the theme this year is Steampunk...

I know Jimbibbly will be presenting his awesomely spectacular 'Dorset smugglers' table and game.

What else will LAF friends be doing at the show?

Personally, I will be shopping, admiring the eye candy, and hopefully saying hello to a good few of you

It's on 16th April by the way.

Quick answer to your thread title.....no! I'm looking forward to Salute 2017!

Still need to see about arrangements to get down and see if my bro wants to as well.

Bought my ticket 

What a faff that was - took me age to get my birthday right on the drop down boxes- eventually realised I had to choose month then year then date...durggg

Why on earth do they need your DoB to buy a ticket for Salute?

[OSHIROmodels]

Yup, trading and demoing Dorset this year 

I start my prep last October 

Never gets any easier 

cheers

So the company doing the ticketing can market other c**p to us at Excel

[Rhoderic]

Ah, that time of year again. When we in the rest of the world have to exercise patience when ordering from UK companies because Salute preparations are running them ragged

[tomrommel1]

I probably will not come to Salute as our € is so weak at the moment so it is much to expensive to go to London at the moment.

[Silent Invader]

The thought of steam punk is enough to put me off   

[Hu Rhu]

The bad news is that for the second year in a row my organisation is making me go abroad over the salute weekend.  The good news is that it's Northern Italy to study WW1 and WW2 battlefields.

I've still never been.  I can never convince myself that it will be worth the cost when so much stuff is available online. The train cost alone would bag me at least 5 x-wing large ships! I do miss some great tables and displays and the chance of a chat with fellow LAFers though!

[Thargor]

I'm hoping to be there at the Freebooter Miniatures demo table again.

[Mr.J]

Honestly I can't justify the cost this year having not been massively impressed in previous years. I must admit I will miss the fantastic demo games that will be on display but tbh I'll probably just get my fix on here and spend my pennies at Vapnartak next month.

Looking forward to it hugely! There should be lost of new stuff on the stall (modern British and WW2 Soviets in 28mm) plus more Chaos figures.
My US rep Rob Walter will be there (I haven't seen him in an age), my UK rep will be there too and hopefully we will see Tony Barton on the day.
There is also have a pre-European contact Maori game being demonstrated by a friend from Melbourne.
Stop by and say "G'day" and you will pick up a free 28mm kangaroo (while stocks last). Plus if anyone would like figures bringing (post free), let me know by 16th March.
It should be a hoot!

[The Dozing Dragon]

Thoroughly looking forward to it. Post divorce and new house it's going to be a strictly budgeted affair this year though. Fortunately I've already paid for the hotel but am currently shuddering at the cost of train travel....£84 return from Stockport to London Euston. Coach is out as, although much cheaper, I lose Friday and Sunday which I use for a bit of good ol' fashioned tourism. Will have to get the entry tickets nearer the day.
