I am intrigued by the average age on this forum.  

This has been prompted by the lack of younger gamers in our club and at shows.

I am refering to the physical age as we are all fully aware the average mental age of this forum is probably just out of its teens.

Oh Dear! Already pulling the average age up (with only 8 votes so far!) and about to slide into the 61 - 70 group in 6 months time!

With Age cometh Wisdom!

And as a younger member I am very happy to be among gamers that are not, shall we say - limited - in their approach to gaming?

I'm on a 'cusp'.....I'll vote now to keep it at a lower decade. ;)
I was told by a former colleague that I must be the oldest 14 year old in the UK......(I think I was around 36 then  :-\)
Mentally, I still think I'm in my late twenties/early thirties.......My body laughs mockingly at this idea. :'( :'( :'(

Well so far this poll has put a bit of a dampner on the old " I'm too old to paint such tiny figures now"  argument :P
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

We do have a couple of members below 20, but I don't think they post very often.  There are quite a few 20-30 year olds as well.

Are there any single female forum members in the 30-50 bracket who live within 50 miles of Aylesbury.   :)

Might even be unicorns on the chilterns too ! ;D

What? Don't bother, I have to go to the loo - if I can find the door...
