Dear All

From a Grandmother just to say how much we enjoyed the Show.

It was very well organised and there was plenty of room to walk around and see the games and traders. Having been to quite a few shows around the country I think it is one of the best.

Our 2 grandsons loved it and everyone made them feel very welcome. In fact our youngest aged 6 told everyone about his "best friend" who was the gentleman dressed from the French Indian Wars. He spent alot of time with them explaining about the maps and weapons, and a present of a musket ball each, typical boys thought it was great ! The oldest grandson sold some figures in the bring and buy and then had great fun spending his cash on scenery etc.

The funniest event of the day was when we visited the Polish/German wargame where again the men explained things. On the field was a dead cow on its back. One of them was taking photos of the battlefield and after being persuaded by the youngest grandson he took a photo of the cow for him. How's that for going beyond the call of duty!

We all had our bacon/sausage butties but missed out on the last piece of chocolate cake and we all know who got that !!!!

Thanks for a very enjoyable day.

Well done everyone

Cheers

Hi Alan,

Just wanted to write to let you know how much fun we had on Sunday, it was a brilliant location the perfect table and a very well attended and run event. We think we may have got a couple of new recruits from the show. A long drive home for some but well worth the trip, everyone was so warm and enthusiastic at your club, it was a total pleasure.

Can't thank you enough.

Alan,

I am sorry that I did not get a chance to say goodbye yesterday afternoon, and to thank TWWS for putting on another excellent show to effectively start the 2010 campaigning season for the south of England. As usual, I probably bought more stuff than I can find the time to paint, and took away leaflets for buying other bits via the net, but that's part of the hobby.

Can I also extend the club's thanks for judging our game the best demo game, out of what, to me, was a very high standard anyway . As you know from our previous games, the intention is to always talk to visitors and fellow-gamers about the period and the rules in use, and we were sufficently encouraged with the reaction to get our's published on the net as soon as practicable. We are looking forward to taking the game to other shows and hope for the same reaction there.

Needless to say, if invited to Cavalier 2011, please take our acceptance as understood!

Best wishes, Richard Partridge for Southend and Rayleigh Wargames Clubs

Hi Alan,

many thanks for putting on Cavalier the other week. I always like shows where there are lots of people to help load/unload my car and your guys were superb!

I had a horrible return journey though - managed to become stuck in a traffic jam on the M25 for over an hour :(

Despite this I would like to trade at Cavalier in 2011 if you will have me.

Please pass on my thanks to the club guys who helped me load/unload.

Regards,

Phillip Clarke
