Cotswold Wargaming Day - It's Back!

So, it's time at last to schedule the post-covid Cotswold Wargaming Day. This year it will be a little later than in 2019, and is currently planned for Sunday 3rd October 2021. Venue is the same as in previous years:

Westwoods Community Centre
Bassett Road
Northleach GL54 3QJ


I'm hoping to be able to accommodate a few more than in 2019 (we had 30 of us that year), but at the moment the centre is opening for a maximum of 30 people. By October that should have improved. If you're not already on the mailing list, contact me via the comments section if you are interested in attending or putting on a game.

The current holders of the Stuart Asquith Trophy for Best Game.
Stuart Surridge and the Wyvern Wargamers.

There will be the usual facilities (kitchen area, free tea, coffee and biscuits), and the usual prize giving for various categories of achievement. Car parking is free and plentiful. This is an all-day event from around 08.30 to around 17.00 - the caretaker is very flexible. The normal £5 voluntary contribution to cover costs is requested. 

I am hoping the day will not clash with other covid-delayed events - I know that The Other Partizan has been re-scheduled for the following Sunday. I'll certainly be trying to do both!

To conclude, just a little bit of eye candy to remind us of our lost friend Stuart Asquith, who lived in Northleach until his untimely death in 2019, not long after attending the show which he had inspired. These are a couple of photos of his collection of Suren 30mm figures.

 


So, fingers crossed and we will have a lovely day of relaxed wargaming, meeting old friends and making new ones. Hope to see you there!

    Great news. I can bring a small 6mm old school WW2 game I'm working on if it would be of any interest? Good old WRG rules.

    Regards.
    Neil.

    Sounds interesting Neil - I'll put you down for a table. As you will have seen on this blog I'm working with the 1973 WRG rules myself.

    I wish you good luck with your event. We all miss concerts and events and hope to enjoy fine company.
    Unfortunately I don't live in the UK. Your event would be on my list for sure.

    Hi Jonathan, nice to hear from you. No problem with having a table at the present time, I'll add you to my list. Actually I'd love the chance to see how a General D'Armee game worked, if you're agreeable. Thanks for getting in touch - I'll add you to the mailing list if you're prepared to send your email address (which I'll delete as soon as I've copied it). If not, just keep an eye on the blog.

    Jonathan, got your last. There'll be an email going out in the next week or two. There should be plenty of room for your table - unless you're looking for something bigger than 8' x 6'.
