Blog-Con in Nottingham, at Foundry. 9th/10th November.

James Brewerton (of http://exilespainting.blogspot.co.uk/ ) is organising a wargaming bloggers convention called Blog-Con to be held at Wargames Foundry on the 9th and 10th of November.

Here is the link to the Blog-Con blog: http://wargamesblog-con.blogspot.co.uk/

I thought it might be fun to have a few Oldhammerers preaching the good word to the masses so if anyone wants to meet up and play a game let me know. If we get a small group we can get together and play out an Oldhammer game in the classic style, two, three or four a side with a GM. Having your own minis is welcome but probably won't be essential.
 
That's a real shame, it's right on your doorstep and you'll be 1000s of miles away. Sure your boss won't understand if you pull a sickie? You'll be missed mate. :(
 
Chances are I would be able to attend either blog-con or the first YOBBOS event but not both seeing as they are so close together. I'll have a think and get back to you. Thinking about it, I may not be able to attend the YOBBOS event because I think my wife has a market on that day (first Saturday of every month I believe).
 
They are pretty close together, I can make both but I didn't anticipate Blog-Con would compete with YOBBOS, sorry. Whichever one you pick, your involvement will be much appreciated. I understand there are distance issues with YOBBOS too. You will of course always be welcome at any of the meetings as and when you can make it.

I'm sure I could wangle Blog-Con as well as the Yobbo meet.

Steve - be great to catch up with you again at either :)

Ack...I'm literally about 5 miles away any normal weekend, but that weekend I'll be over 200 miles away at a wedding near Swanage.

My wife is making positive noises about me attending this event. Which is good, as I spent most of the Oldhammer Weekend talking rather than actually getting a good game of Third in! Hopefully, things will go my way!

You have a very good woman there :grin:
 
Fantastic news Orlygg! :grin:

Sad news Axiom. :(

I have been in touch with James to let him know our plans. Basically I thought we could do a game on the Saturday with whatever we have to hand. I will have a scenario or two prepared and am willing to either GM or play if someone else has something they want to do. I thought Thantsants might want to run the BBaOD finale for instance. I will be bringing my Chaos warband and a few Orc/Ogre mercs and some monsters.

If I can get there I want to play. I have chaos army ready to go and should have undead too by the point.

will be great if you guys can make it as I had to miss the meet up for Oldhammer. It is planned as more of a social weekend with a chance to game or just catch up. We have demo/participation games lined up for SAGA, Musket and Tomahawk, Cowboys, VBCW, chain of command,various board games and Battletech plus are hoping for a bring as many ships as you can X-Wing game on the sunday.

We have a workshop on basing and table top standard flesh painting

Its also my 40th on the Saturday and I will be bringing cake

Sounds great! The offer of cake will surely twist a few arms and get gamers to the Foundry. I have just discovered that my father's new house is 1 hour from the Foundry. Wife is already planning visit with kids. So things are looking very positive for me.
 
There you are James, I knew you were on here somewhere. You should change exilesjjb to GI James though! See you on your Birthday!
