A quick plug

This coming weekend is Attack! (the annual show of my local wargames club in Devizes). Though I’m not a member (I’m not very good with the whole business of joining things), I do try to support the show every year by going along.

It’s unusual in being a two-day event held over both the Saturday and Sunday of a weekend and that seems to lend a relaxed atmosphere to proceedings. This year is a bit special though because it’s the 30th year of the event. So if you’re in the area, why not try to pop along and help the club celebrate?

The only fly in the ointment is that I may not be able to make it myself this time around because of pre-existing commitments with family visitors. Still, I might just be able to sneak away unnoticed for a couple of hours…

Something’s afoot in darkest Wiltshire

It’s just dawned on me that it’s less that a month until the local wargaming club’s annual show. Attack! 2008 takes place on the weekend of 12/13 July and is organzied by DDWG (Devizes and District Wargames Group).

Now I’m not particularly good at being a member of things (the Groucho Marx philosophy of “I wouldn’t join any club that would take me as a member!” springs to mind) but I do try to support this show every year and go along on one of the two days – usually the Saturday. So I’ll be aiming to attend again this year and, if you’re in the area, I’d encourage you to turn up too. It never ceases to amaze me just how many closet wargamers there actually are lurking here in the rural backwaters of Wiltshire so I’ll be expecting to bump into some of you!
