Greetings…
This weekend saw the Britcon 2024 show in Nottingham…
Now I really like this show…
It’s in Nottingham… At the Nottingham Trent University building in the centre of town…
Very easy to get to… Trams and buses stop almost outside…
It’s free entry on Saturday and Sunday
Also it’s where my daughter studied Graphic Design and Illustration.
We both went on the Saturday… I did my usual thing of wandering around and buying a couple of things and then going back on the Sunday and buying more 😱…
There are a few gripes I could make… The lack of signage being the biggest… Although it was actually better this year than last…
Layout is another… But once again it is still an improvement on last year…
A hand out map would be a help here…
A bonus is that there are definitely more comfy chairs than you will find at Partizan…
I really appreciated this…
There is also a lift to all the different levels… I think you can guess my age group by the fact that these things are important 🤣.
I think it’s safe to say that this show is finding its feet… And I hope it will be back next year.
One of the bonus’s about being in the town centre is that you can pop out and find a decent restaurant within walking distance… Which is what Mharaid and I did on the Saturday… A restaurant called Gusto…I would recommend it to anyone…
Here are some of the few pictures I took…
I hope it reflects the day/days well enough…
The Perry’s French in Egypt game…
A very nice ‘What if’ Hundred Days battle.. From my old Wargames Club when I lived in Edinburgh..
An Indian Mutiny game from the Boondock Sayntes… A splendid affair with a lot of Jungle Book Easter Eggs scattered around the table.
These games were all to be found in the Wargames Illustrated area…
There was a Two Fat Lardies area but our need for food stopped us going in there.😋.
I was ‘In town’ on Sunday (today) so I popped in to pick up a couple of things I had been pondering over…
Early doors on a hot Sunday…
It got busier…
My loot…
Did I need any of this?
Of course not… But I really really wanted it 🤣🤣🤣
Not much painting at the moment… The mojo has taken a long Summer break 🙄.
All the best Aly
