I had to chase that up after a month and really they should have been on the ball by e-mailing me and keeping me in the loop.<br /><br />I really hope that both trader and customer flock back to the shows and that we haven’t all found internet shopping just a little too convenient that it undermines the value of the show.

I spent the weekend doing extra hobby time to try and make up for it. <br /><br />I don’t need any extra incentive to buy stuff. Since starting the AWI I have already been spending like crazy and already have a mountain of projects. 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-63455435969233102132020-06-12T13:59:28.101+00:002020-06-12T13:59:28.101+00:00Thanks Jonathan, I now need postie to hurry up!Thanks Jonathan, I now need postie to hurry up!Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-84756208660032907202020-06-12T12:18:44.823+00:002020-06-12T12:18:44.823+00:00I’ll put in an extra order to commemorate your Not...I’ll put in an extra order to commemorate your Not A Show, show.

I’m not sure at this stage where the balance will be to get these sort of things going again, can social distancing and capacity measures make it work alone or like many things, will the viability not exist until those things are reinforced by the cover of vaccine. The next stage is the unknown territory.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-74396226821338335272020-06-12T09:53:16.336+00:002020-06-12T09:53:16.336+00:00Colours is my favourite show as it's local'...Colours is my favourite show as it's local'ish, easy to get to, great parking and a nice mix of traders. It also sort of marks the end of Summer for me and the start of wargaming coming more to the fore once again.

The last show I did was Alumwell (Midlands) just before things locked down and I have been fine with the lockdown, but the thought of missing my fave show has made me pause to think just how important these things are to the wargame calendar.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-40976750378972173632020-06-12T09:23:22.655+00:002020-06-12T09:23:22.655+00:00Phil, I know in the early days, your good self and...Phil, I know in the early days, your good self and Dave were stalwarts of the show scene - the SCW eye candy would be nice to see,Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-16440345369345570502020-06-12T09:21:40.891+00:002020-06-12T09:21:40.891+00:00Hi Matt, plus the Phoenix show the week after, whe...Hi Matt, plus the Phoenix show the week after, where you usually put a game on anyway.
