Hi all, can I introduce myself; I am Antony Spencer and, with my wife and daughter, took over the running of Imperial Miniatures/Dorset Model Soldier from Mike at the beginning of October 2021.
I have been a wargamer for over 40 years and, apart from my family, it is my greatest passion. I am now developing a new one for the world of toy soldiers and it is the start of a great adventure.
In support of 54mm wargaming I would like to run a Northern Gaming Day to mirror the one run by Mike in March.
The plan is to run the event at the North West Gaming Centre based in Stockport (the home of Element Games). Stockport is a good location as it is on the main train line between Manchester and the south, has good motorway connections and is close to Manchester Airport. There is a Premier Inn just across the road from the gaming centre for those who would like to stay over.
To help me take plans forward I would like to find out who would be interested in attending the event and whether you think it should be a one day or possibly see if we run a two day event.
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Antony

Forgot to say one or two days would be fine by me but if people are staying two days would be excellent.

Hi Antony I live in the North East of England, just outside of Sunderland, so that sounds like something I’d be interested in. I’ve also got a pal who lives in North Tyneside and I think he would be interested as well. I suppose if it was a two day event it might be more flexible for people rather than just having one fixed day and some people might like to stay over for the two days as well. Keep in touch about your plans Regards Bill

As I have said before I will come up and I am pretty sure Anthony is keen as well.

Do you have any rates in mind yet Anthony? Looking at the calendar, the end of September would be 24th and 25th. As soon as you know, csn you please let us know so that we can book the date on our calendars. As others have said, 2 days would be great. Thanks
Dave

Sorry to hear you've had/got Covid Anthony. Hope you feel well soon. Lots of excited talk in Woking over the weekend about the possible games weekend in Stockport in September.
When you feel better, is there any chance of letting us know the possible dates please. Sorry to be a pain, but some of us might need to ask for time off work, so the sooner we know, the better, so we can get it sorted. Many thanks and get better soon. Best Wishes Dave

Hi all,
Recovering from the plague and enjoyed the LTSS last weekend where I got to meet a few of you. I have heard back from Element Games, their event co-ordinator has been at Adepticon, and they have provisionally booked the 1st and 2nd October for the Northern 54mm Gaming Day (Weekend).
Due to the low numbers involved we will be only using a few of the tables available so Element will charge £3.50 per person per day.
Looking at the responses above it looks we have about 11 people interested.
