Hi Mike,
Mike Blake can't make it, so I hope you won't mind me bringing my son Calum instead (aged 18) to help with the carrying and spectate.
regards Pat

A massive thanks to Mike for organising, and everyone else for making a pair of complete novices so welcome (myself and my son calum). We had a great time. Selfishly we were too engrossed to take any photos, but the others took plenty. You may have to wait a bit however because when I left the others were going out to paint the town red.
If you ever get the chance to play Mike's portable wargame rules game grab it.

Pat,
Your Normans looked great-real glossy toy soldier stuff. Very photogenic!
Seconded re Mike's organisation of the Games Day-another success for you Mike, a fantastic time was had by all with wonderful cameraderie and great conversations (even better, not always about wargaming!).
Cheers Anthony

Thirded re Mike and his organisation! An excellent day indeed not to mention venue. Woking is so easy to get to, has splendid places to eat and stay. Ideal for our purpose. Great to see the splendid and glossy figures you brought Pat , not to mention your excellent terrain items.

The "toy soldier" terrain...especially the train in the blog pics...is awesome!
