This year is the 10th Anniversary of the Battleground show so we hope you'll join us to celebrate!  The event will be taking place on Saturday 25th November in our usual venue of the Queen's Campus Sports Hall in Stockton-on-Tees, TS17 6BH.  The show is open 10am until 3pm and entry is completely FREE!

We've started booking the Traders in so keep checking the Battleground website here for the latest updates: https://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/traders  We're expecting a few new faces this year too.

The Games forms have also gone out and we've received the first batch of bookings, which can be found on the Games page here: https://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/games  We'll update the rest as we receive the bookings.

The Tabletop Sale is open for bookings now so make sure to get in touch asap if you'd like a slot.  The tables always fill up quickly so don't leave it until the last minute!  You can book a table at £1.50 per half hour and sell off any unwanted goodies you might have.  You can deal with the customers directly, offload some kit and then go buy something new from the traders!

This year we've got two excellent Talks for everyone, with Alex Clifford presenting "Shock Troops or Cannon-Fodder - The International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War" at 11am and then John Sadler with "A History of the Anglo-Scottish Border" at 1pm.


All of the show info can be found on either the Battleground website here: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/ or our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1768871706868624  If you've got any questions about the event, just let us know.

So, don't forget to tell your friends about the FREE ENTRY and we'll see you there!

Not sure to be honest, I think it's just 'cos they were the last trader added at that point?  The 'V' is probably coincidence, they could've been called AAA Miniatures and they'd still be in last place!

Leon,
Was a great show, certainly the best and the busiest so far. I may even be tempted to do a 10mm AWI game next year 😆

It was indeed an excellent show. Well organised. Good games. Lots of traders. And justifiably busy.

Well done.
