Title: COLOURS show 6th September 2025
Post by: martin goddard on August 04, 2025, 10:57:59 AM
The COLOURS show is at Newbury show ground/race course.
Saturday 6th September.
Peter Pig is there for the 40th year.
We will be on the first floor with  a small trade stand.
We will not have ranges with us, just the newest metal stuff and all the rule books.
There will also be two PP tables.  Simon and miles are doing splendid work with a table of wild geese.

Excellent news, Martin - see you there!

Will you have print versions of the latest PBI and the new AK47 done in time for the show? If so, I'll be picking up both - does the pre-order discount apply to rulebooks as well as minis?

Jon.

Hello Jon
I hope to have AK out for or the show (possibly). The discount 20% can be used on them too.

Brilliant, thanks!  :D

Any sign of the new PBI (and supplement) being available in print form, or is it staying in PDF for the moment...?
I really, really prefer a proper printed rulebook (yes, I know I can get a PDF printed and bound, but it's so much easier just to give you the money and take the book away!)  ;)

Jon.

This is on my radar, but it always falls on my daughters birthday weekend.

I suspect you have some insight into how that conversation  might go!

The floorplans are also on the official Colours site, Miles, along with a little bit of further information:

We do seem to be listed as Peter Pig, as opposed to as a demo game. I hope that won't put people off visiting our game  :D

Hi Simon
It looks like Colours has only assigned one games table

I think it was the same situation last year ? Martin had to make a phone call/email and sort it out ?
