We enjoyed this show a lot last year so will hopefully be able to attend again.

I used to be a regular when it was at the Alumwell school just off J10 M6 because it was quite easy to get to but then it moved to Wolvo and it was at least two buses and the tram to get there. Went once and that was it. Now it's too bl**din far.

Steve - yeah, it's a nice show Wouldn't know on public transport - driving from Kingstanding is fine though, it's a simple M6 at Scott Arms, M54 and down the A449 at top end of wolves - 20mins unless the M6 is bad...

Will say hello for you to everyone at the club next week Subedai - John G co-drove my new 10mm Hittites this evening. Many Anatolian allies died to attrit some cheatin' no good Egyptian charioteers. Must remember to keep my plans much more simple. Getting two squadrons of chariots flank charged by Pharoah himself at the head of the Egyptian infantry (!) was not my finest hour

[Leon]

Don't forget we'll need any pre-orders sending through before Sun 1st please!

thinking of going on Sunday, never been to a show before. Is it kid friendly (4 and 6) or am I better leaving the little folk at home?

[toxicpixie]

It's often quite busy - big sports hall, with traders booths round the side and middle, with demo games in between, and lots of people wandering between them - but should be kid friendly so long as they don't mind crowds. There's usually plenty of people with pushchairs and wee ones of some description! That said, it's probably easier to leave them at home if you can, as that way you can really look at stuff and not be shepherding interested little fingers away from picking up books, figures, pots of paint, model kits, dice etc etc.

Although if you bring anything back it's a good excuse. I didn't know it was there dear, the kids must have bought it!

That'd be good, we could see Kublai in person... 

Most shows are reasonably kid friendly, although if your 4 year old is anything like mine then he'll need some entertaining!  We've got some things on the stand that we give away to the kids though.

Last year the weather was lovely and there is a large traffic free area at the front for kids to run around if they get bored.

Bu**er, I'm going to miss that. However, if ever you travel to a show in Kent let me know in advance.
