Could we have the announcement as to what the 15mm FOGam themes are going to be ASAP, please, so we can have time to buy and paint any necessary figs. / armies ?

Thanks

Might be a little more complicated than that by the sounds of things...

[AlexandersChiefEunuch]

Ah.... I see.

Thanks for the heads up Tim. All efforts in to Roll Call, then (RIP Queensway Hall, Dunstable).

Unless.... everyone back to Woughton Campus... if you can find it !

[petedalby]

Rumour has it that a solution is on the cards and Campaign may yet be saved.....fingers crossed.

[grahambriggs]

the MKWS site confirms that the National League will proceed, same weekend, but in Daventry. Unfortunately the trade show and demos will not this year. Sounds like a change of policy from the venue.

[viking123]

This could mean that the venue lose out if they do not fill the space they have created by getting rid of Campaign.

Sometimes I wonder about these so called managers!!!

[davidandlynda]

The Daventry venue is very good ,when I played FOW there ,we even had refreshments being delivered to the tables, That was Nobby influence

The event is definitely going ahead on May 10th/11th but just the tournament side of it.

It will be at the iCon Centre in Daventry because of the lack of availability of the MK venue.

Hopefully at some point someone in MKWS will update their website.

[petedalby]

I'm struggling to get an accurate picture of how many teams have entered this year but this has always been a fun event so if you're still thinking of going, it's not too late to get your entry in.

It would be great to see you there.

Cheers

We've entered as a soft target
