We'll be there with Gripping Beast, Footsore, Artizan, Pulp, Crusader and, obviously, Ainsty - assuming we don't get snowed in 

[Chris Abbey]

Snowed in! Where are you coming from?

[Dags]

We're only an hour or so away but in the middle of nowhere - we're  fine now (well, cold, wet and miserable) but the weather forecast is predicting a fair bit due over the next couple of days.

Fingers' crossed they're wrong - I've done get-ins in the snow and it ain't fun and screws up the attendance 

[vodkafan]

We got a party of 5 going. Am looking forward to it.

 Just managed to get a table at the show so will be there with my Four A miniatures range.

 See you there Jon.Will bring a snow shovel just in case .

Sod the shovel, the done thing now is to bring your favourite other trader booze. The bar was set pretty high at Vapa though...

[uti long smile]

Yep - I'm trading there. Will have a restock of the new resin terrain and some of the upcoming MDF stuff... plus a few packs of next month's lead releases.

[The Dozing Dragon]

Wish I could make it. Got the munchkins in the morning and back at work at night 

[James Morris]

We'll also be there promoting our club, Lenton Gamers, which meets less than a mile from the Tennis Centre on Thursday evenings (for full details see our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/groups/146724259021025/ )

We have three games in progress which you are welcome to join in with - Star Wars 15mm, Death in the Dark Continent 28mm, and Sky Galleons Off Margate (VSF aerial naval action) - or just drop by for a chat.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!  Cheers!

Might need that to stave off the cold!!!

Just got back from ROBIN. Was only there for a couple of hours so didn't get to have a close look at any of the games or the seminars and workshops unfortunately, so can't comment on those. But there was a very good selection of traders there and I am very happy with the show deals I got. It was also great to put faces to names, and to see close up some products that looked interesting online, but I wasn't sure about. I got everything that I set out to purchase and also some stuff from American and Canadian companies that was new to me.
It seemed to me that all the traders seemed to be doing pretty brisk business.   

[vodkafan]

Nobody else got anything to say about ROBIN?    There must have been a thousand people there... 

[Dags]

Might need that to stave off the cold!!!

You could have a second career as Mystic James 

Just about warmed up
