Derek. I am happy to lend you either late war Germans or late war British.
The British have tanks but the Germans do not (although they can use the British ones as captured).

Trenches. I have a Trench system.

In 2022 Miles and I went up in a car and stayed at a hotel which made the journey home much easier.
i.e play on Saturday 30th September. Have a meal out, Go to hotel, drive back Sunday morning 1st October.

Anyone want a lift from Weymouth (via Christchurch) ?

Saw an interesting image today on YouTube of a British tank, probably 1917 or 18, named Kim and embellished with a swastika (perpendicular) as a good luck symbol.

Also up for staying overnight.

Thanks Martin. Will take you up on that on whatever side I end up. lol

Hi Derek, are you still OK to play?  and be a German? (I'm sure we have loaners)

[Sean Clark]

Is this still firmly fixed in the diary? If it is, it will encourage me to paint my French at long last!

[Colonel Kilgore]

I'd do them anyway, Sean.

If for any reason this event doesn't happen, you'll be all ready for next year

I see now (had to check...) that I bought my ticket back in February, so I do hope it's still on!

It's still on..

The only difference is that it's a bit more laissez-faire as I've just got less free time than I had hoped . Did you not get the mail I sent on the subject ?

Thanks
Simon
