2020 Show Dates!

[Orcs]

The fact you rang rather than just turned up with it probably helps

Mrs Orcs says, "Better to beg for forgiveness rather than ask permission"

Another update tonight with Colours cancelled as well.  I'm not sure if we'll get Border Reiver either as it's held in a sports stadium and it's unlikely that venues like that will be open to the public by then.

Shame......But I suppose, better safe than sorry.

Really sorry to hear that, one of my favourite shows n one of my favourite venues.

Going to miss Newbury and catching up with Everyone 

Fingers crossed for Warfare at Ascot, but I very much doubt it will happen

You can go - but would have to self isolate afterwards for 14 days

We've not heard anything from Warfare since the start of the year so I'm not sure where we are with that.  There were some teething problems with the space allocation in the new venue so I think they were having a meeting to discuss options.  I'll see if any of the other traders have heard anything about it.

I feel for the Wargamer crew in B'ham. They had to skip a year due to venue issues, found a nice venue last December, got decent numbers and now... probably no chance even in six months

[Last Hussar]

Worse - Haddenham Summer Beer festival is off.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Noooooooo

What if any are the chances of Battleground occurring in November ?

What if any are the chances of Battleground occurring in November ?

Currently there's no plans to cancel the event, but we're obviously keeping an eye on things to see what the advice/guidelines tells us.  If public events are still banned at that point then we'll have to cancel, but if we're allowed to go ahead then we'll be trying to run the show as best we can.

If it does go ahead we might have make some adjustments to how the show is run and laid out.  This could be socially distanced traders, queueing systems outside/inside, PPE and sanitiser on entry and placed around the hall, etc.  It's difficult at this point to say what's going to happen unfortunately.  We'll be keeping an eye on the other events at that time of year (Fiasco, Partizan, Warfare) to see what they do and how they adapt to the Covid situation.

We've had another couple of updates this week with both Border Reiver and Warfare now cancelled for this year.

Unsurprising, but still.

There is a long post on the FoG-Am facebook group - may well be from the organisers
