But on the positive side, Martin's recent output is prodigious, and when we're not travelling / playing, we can all make scenery and paint toys. I wouldn't want this to go on for too long, but it's not all bad news.

Colours cancelled. Shame but expected.  Not heard any thing direct from them yet, so they might be doing a "postponed" action similar to Salute.  Salute are keeping the cheques, but also guaranteeing the same stand and costs as 2020 but "transported" to 2021.

I would guess that all shows for the remainder of 2020 will be cancelled. That way we can pretend 2020 never happened in terms of gaming shows and start again in 2021.
I think that a wargames show for Alexandra Palace was planned as well, but not heard any progress reports on that.

Like Simon says, I think plan for next year when it comes to shows.
It has been quite a productive time, especially for my Western stuff. Learned a lot about doing desert/hot like scenery.
It's finding the time, as some of are still working and not from home. Now I am havin the work done for my other cabin to be put in place hopefully next week.
So I will have extra storage area and a playing area.👍👍👍👌

My hope for this year is the Crete day and the Weekender. I can put up with all shows cancelled, but give me these!


Oh and the RCW day too...but September is looking dogy with Colours now gone too.

I would hope the WWW is still on. But we shall see. We might have to shift the dates of the Crete Practice day and RCW day ???
From a personal point of view, I am aiming for February next year as the first Gaming show (Beachead)to be able to go to at BIC. Which would be Ironic from a personal point of view as it was the first and last one for me This Year !

Martin, if the Alexander Palace show you are referring to is the Tabletop Gaming Live show in September, it was cancelled about two weeks ago.

At the moment I am hoping that Warfare at Ascot Racecourse will go ahead in November, but I hold out little hope for anything sooner than that.

Belgian Lanchester is due to be finished today or tomorrow.

I am also hoping to get the old table tennis table out in the garden for a war-game or two if the weather stays fair.

That was the one John. Sad to see any show go. Events dear boy?

Warfare, indeed a tricky one. My guess is a no. But that is a guess. Probably linked to whether horse racing returns to full crowd or not. Horse racing does have a lot of sway with the political elite though (plus royals and other hangers on too).

Get that AC done ASAP John! :)

Last show was Vapnartak. Have a feeling that the next one might be Vapnartak too
