This years BHGS Doubles and Pairs events will take place over 2 weekends in September and October. The Ancients Doubles are 6-7 September, and the FOW & FoGR Doubles and Pairs are 25-6 October.

The BHGS FoGR Doubles competition period will be ‘Rule of the Sun King’, any army, and book, any date after 1661- as there have been quite a few early period competitions so far this year.

Price is £26/team

For full details and the booking form,follow this link to the BHGS website

The venue for the Pairs and Doubles in 2014 is :

Trinity Church Hall,
Conduit Road,
Abingdon,
OX14 1DB

That's a pity the first date clashes with the Northern league and the second with BayFog.

Its an ever-increasing problem - with 30 or so FoGR competitions in the year, 7-8 weekends with bank holidays and then a few more weekends to avoid clashes are unfortunately now inevitable. At least Bayfog is (I think) only an AM competition.

And take pity (if that's the right phrase) on those playing Flames of War - the BHGS calendar currently lists almost 40 FOW events this calendar year...

Tim sorry I should not whinge as I can appreciate how difficult it all is.

No worries - it is definitely worth saying, if only as a counterpoint to the "FoGR heading for a crash" thread!

OK folks, Britcon is now out of the way (hoorah!!) and the Doubles is a venue we are sharing with the FoW boys, who take up twice as many tables and already have more teams booked in.

If a moderator can have a clear-out of the sticky threads and add this to the list at the top it would be much appreciated, as would some more players booking into the event. If anyone is worried about entering, you should bear in mind that the theme does allow the return of the Pirates !!

Simon

Eleven Teams so far

2 lists in and checked, 2 others intentions known, so lists in whenever you are ready to avoid the end of month rush, looking good with some great combinations of players, can't wait

cheers

Brian's sending ours in...

Just submitted an entry with "Vespasian" (Paul Marsh) and a third Wessex Wargames Society member as Paul can't make both days. Intended army is Bavarian 1694 (Late German list), which should be an interesting proposition, though probably no match for any late Louis XIV with all its elite and superior troops.

You'll enjoy it,

Paul has always enjoyed his outings to Southampton and it is the same players as he has played before, whilst there might be a French they'll be a bigger range of armies than you think, Paul has my email when you want to send the list in
