Unfortunately I don't do crowds, and my weekends are likely to be manic with home improvements this year, so I won't be attending... :(

They've gone too now mate - just too ****ing expensive to stay over. We're doing there, set up, trade, pack up, go home in a (very long) day.
That's the problem, we've all ended up working at the show? It used to be a hobby  ::)

I've booked a hotel for the night before.  I wonder what it's like to run a game with a hangover  lol

And for the first time ever, it's actually a game that coincides with the Salute theme.

Decided make use of those self employment perks and just go to Salute. Probably using a "daytrip" bus, so I will be well done for by the end of it but at least its cheap. Is this one of those con's where you guys do name badges for LAF members?

I will go to Salute for the first time.

Can somebody tell me which halls will be for Salute.

The Excel Website lists a Sewing Exhibition for that weekend but does not list anything about Salute.

Iirc it's in some of the North halls - eXcel always seems has 2 or 3 events on at the same time. Always amusing to see the gamers mixing with the racing whippets registering for the London marathon. Surprisingly there's little overlap  ;)

Don't worry though, it'll be well signed on the day.

Dags ,
I remember last time we went two tribes glareing at each other across the concourse.
