Pendraken Miniatures Forum members meet-up.

Other forums, and bloggers, tend to have a meet at the bigger shows they attend. It being a great way to boost the social feel of a forum/blogging community.

I just wondered if any Pendraken Forum members would be interested in doing something similar? A chance to meet in the flesh those you talk to on a regular basis. Meet new people from the forum. Chat about the show/hobby, maybe even find a new opponent. Get a group photo, and make a happy memory for yourselves.

If you're attending an upcoming show why not give a shout-out here, and see if any other forum member will be there?  :)

[Not to be rude, but could we keep this topic free from silliness and chatter - it being easier for people to spot information that way. Thank you.]
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

I'm attending Vapnartak, at York. [Sunday 7th February]

Is there anybody else going to be there, who'd like to say hello?  

A time and location to meet - obviously, it should be the Pendraken stall - can be made, and a quick hello, and a handshake, is all that need to be done if people are shy  :)

I'll be at Vapnartak, weather permitting, it's a 4 hour drive from Edinburgh, morning only, leave just after lunch to minimise the amount of driving in the dark on the way home.

What  good idea this post is.

I usually get to two shows a year and this is the first. I know it's a fair distance for the north of Luton posse but has anyone else got any plans to attend?

Hi Subedai
I'll be at Cavalier! I'll be on Realistic Modelling stand, but I can escape for a coffee and a chat about Mongol warfare!

The York show is in the Racecourse, just to the south of the city centre.  There's plenty of parking I think, and it's not that far from the train station either.
www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 10,000 products, including nearly 5000 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints, Tiny Tin Troops flags and much, much more!

Tip for anyone visiting the York show: Do Not Park On The Grass! Last year (after heavy rain) our vehicle got bogged down and the RAC had to come tow us out. Try and stick either to the areas of 'rubble' hardstanding, or the spaces on the road.

York Show
jimduncanuk, Bodvoc, Skywalker, Leman, (possibly fsn). If you'd like to meet up as a group? I'd be up for it.
I'll be there from 10:30 onwards, till late.
The Pendraken stall (as a meeting up point), at either 'on the hour' or the 'half-hour'?
