Only drawback now that they have changed the date is that it now clashes with the next round of the BHGS doubles at the Armouries in Leeds,using Switer than Eagles by the way.Although as it is highly unlikely that many wargamers have made plans for it ,it may be worth seeing if I can move it to the previous weekend

Ah yes, sorry David, I had not noticed that. Of course, I have no connection with the Devizes club and merely got an e-mail asking me to take charge of the FOG tournament.

If you are able to change the Leeds date it would be fantastic.

How is this competition shaping up? I may get a unexpected pass out, so could attend?

Full up? or dodge city at 12 noon?
