Broadside 2011 Show Report and Pictures.

Apologies for lack of posting but internet connection at home is down for no apparent reason.

The rejects made a short journey yesterday to Broadside 2011  at Swallows Leisure Centre, Sittingbourne in Kent, the first year for the show. Set in a lovely centre (great pool and facilities, didn't take a picture of the pool area because I didn't want to end up on a register), the show was £3.00 (reasonable) to get in, the show itself was located in 2 halls within the centre which were easily accessible by a corridor running between them. The lighting in one hall was a killer (same as Cavalier, the anti glare type) and the other hall was fine with normal light.

The show was spacious, plenty of room for traders and customers, we were there around 0930hrs and left about 1200hrs, there was a steady trickle of visitors in this time, plenty of regulars but not that busy it appeared to me. It's the first year and shows need a bit of time to settle in but we enjoyed it, made a few purchases and yes we would go again next year, definitely worth a visit (it gets you out of the house and away from the SWMBO for a couple of hours anyway with the lads at the very least).

One fly in the ointment, I got stuck buying the boys bacon rolls from the leisure centre cafe, we ordered 3, they had only 2 left at 0940hrs, I ended up with a sausage roll (awful, awful, awful, I really wanted a nice bowl of salad but they didn't have any left either), the guys said there bacon rolls were lovely.

No bring and buy this year but I've heard probably next year.

Some normal poor pictures from the show in no particular order.

The lighting in the main hall, I think I'm developing a lighting fetish.

Crooked Dice &TV game......Empty at the beginning.

Not long before full steam ahead.

Frontline Wargaming, who do returns, nice unsmiling guy, I like him.

Gringo 40's, hope he did well.

Wide shot of hall.

Operation Sealion participation game.

These guys had their own shirts, we need to discuss this among the Rejects.

Great Crush The Kaiser terrain.

......again.

....and again.

Real Time Wargames boys I believe.

Plastic Soldier Review people where I bought the wrong item but not their fault.

 BigLee with a bag for his dice, we're worried about the big weirdo.

Postie (obligatory contractual shot) suffering from the weight of his wallet.

More lighting from the other hall, Ok , I have a lighting fetish.

Ray and Richard discussing the lighting. Weirdos!

I love games at the shows, who doesn't like eye candy but I really go for the traders and to buy stock or figures, is that the same for you?

Broadside Wargames Show June 12th 2011.

A new Wargames show this weekend at Broadside 2011 , 5 rejects will be going and as it's a brand new show and I just wanted to mention it so that that it will be a yearly show as long as it's well attended and advertised, no visitors no show and it is quite near to where we live which is not relevant to most readers but you've got to do what you can for you hobby or interest or dare I say your love/passion. Will take some pictures and post them next week.

After yesterdays allegations from Ray over at Don't throw a 1 about stolen items and the gift he received from the nice guy Lord Siwoc over at Brains and Guts , now our legal teams are currently dealing with the slanderous remarks from Ray (also known as a sock abuser and botherer), I decided to launch my own investigation.

What's this, a bin!

What's inside you say?

I have recovered the discarded items from the bin and currently have them with sock and figure social services.
