2012 will be the 20th Anniversary of the launch of Pendraken, and we want to celebrate that!   <:-P

So, we're planning on holding a 1-day event, with all manner of games, displays, etc. for all of our customers to come and take part in.  The event will be held in the Middlesbrough area, somewhere between May-July, depending on the shows.  But the question is, what would you like to see included?

We're looking for any kind of input on what would make the day that extra bit special.  A new range launched at the event?  Sculpting demo's?  Special one-off offers on Pendraken goodies?

Let us know your thoughts!

Shoot! I wish I could be there.  >:(  Since I can't make it (geographically challenged by a large body of water!), I don't want to throw in a suggestion and take away from the fortunate ones that can. However the day goes, I'm sure it will be grand! I've never had a bad day getting to meet my fellow gamers.

Leon, I won't wish you well on the next 20 just yet, that's for next year proper. I'm just slightly superstitious, perhaps it comes from rolling dice.  ;)

That's quite a milestone coming up guys :D I'll certainly try to make it along if I possibly can ...... wonder if I can convince SWMBO that Middlesborough is a good location for our summer holiday .............

Sculpting demos are always interesting, but not often seen, and make sure there's a bar :P

Cheers,

Great as a base to exlpore Yorkshire/Durham and Lake District. Whitby, Staithes and Scarborough are some of the best places on the east coast.

May-July? Maybe I could come!

Err...There will be cool to see demonstrations of few games (BKC, FWC, HOTT, etc...)

Not a job I'd like to take on.

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Demo games, participation games, maybe the 2012 painting and sculpting competition could feature?

Just as long as its a saturday and not a sunday as we'd be slap bang in the middle of the cricket season!

Yep, good stuff all around.  It's pretty good shopping in the town centre as well, for t'other halves to go wandering!

Hmmm.. possibly.  We could have a one-off painting comp on the day.

More likely to be a Saturday I'd think.   8)

You just KNOW you will be held to the Cheerleading bit ;)

fred.

Sounds a good idea (the event, not just the cheerleading)

One thing that would be interesting, but may not be practical, is to see how the figures are actually made, i.e the casting process etc
