Battleground 2014 (formerly Smoggycon!)

[Leon]

Battleground 2014 will be taking place on Saturday November 29th, at the Queen's Campus Sports Hall in Stockton-on-Tees, running from 10am until 3pm. 
Hosted by Pendraken Miniatures along with Middlesbrough Gamers Club, this show was formerly known as Smoggycon, but for 2014 we've got both a new name and a new venue!



Entry to the show is only £3 per person, and after it proved a success last year we'll be keeping the free entry for SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) and free entry for the kids as well (Under 14's)!

We've increased the trader selection this year, with 36 companies pencilled in at this stage, covering a huge variety of genre's and scales.  New traders for 2014 include:
- Baccus 6mm - The 6mm specialist, offering a wide variety of ranges and accessories for the 6mm gamer: https://www.baccus6mm.com/
- Wargames Emporium - After being unable to attend in 2013, the guys from Wargames Emporium will be back for 2014: http://www.wargamesemporium.co.uk/
- Beanie Girl - A local shop, selling a wide selection of games and more: https://www.facebook.com/beaniegirlstore
- Cozzmic Cakes - Bringing an element of sugary fun to the day with their themed cakes: https://www.facebook.com/CozzmicCakes?fref=ts


We've also got a great selection of display and participation games lined up, encompassing wargaming, modelling and RPG'ing.

The Flea Market is a great option for any unwanted goodies, where for only £1 per half hour slot, you can sell as much as you like, with no commission at all!  You can deal directly with the buyers, answer any questions they may have, and also keep an eye on your goods. Once your time is up (or better still, you've sold everything!), you can walk away, cash in hand, and enjoy the rest of the show!  The Flea Market was booked up all day last year, so make sure to book in advance if possible!

For all of the info on the traders, games, flea market and more, head over to the new Battleground website: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/ or Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BattlegroundShow?ref=hl

And please make sure to spread the word about the new name and venue, we don't want to lose anyone in the move!

Only ever been to the stockton show (Parade Ground).

Have pencilled this date in and will hopefully be able to attend. I dare say there will be a 'show order to collect' made around that time, from yourselves.
