Salute is back on at the wrong end of the year, in the usual place, and Fenris will, against all the odds, be attending with a cut-down show stand. Lots of new-to-the-show and previously unreleased stuff, plus a chance to see the recent Wyrdworld ReCreated KS models up close. We're on stand TS21.
I've enabled the "Collection at Salute" option for orders from the webshop for those of you attending who want to save on postage and/or make sure of getting particular goodies (there's nowhere near enough room to bring even 1/10 the full range!).
FYI, rules & regs for attending the show can be found HERE
Hopefully see some of you there!
Our Next Show is in North - London Show
17th October - SELWG 2021, Lee Valley, London.
After a year off due to Covid, Battleground is back! This year the show will be taking place on Saturday 20th November so one week earlier than usual due to a clash with the Warfare show in Ascot. The Warfare club have assured is that this is only a one-off and we’ll be back to our usual ‘last weekend of November’ slot for 2022. The show will be at our usual venue of the Queen’s Campus Sports Hall in Stockton-on-Tees, TS17 6BH and will be open from 10am until 3pm. Entry is completely FREE again!
We sent out the trader forms a few weeks back and we’re getting the bookings back in now. There are a few of our usual traders and games who are unable to attend this year so we’re going to use that extra space to spread everything out as best we can and make the event a bit more socially distanced. There should still be around 30 traders though so plenty of options to spend your savings! All of the traders will be added to the website HERE
The games are also starting to book in now and we’re expecting the usual fantastic selection of display and participation games with somewhere around 20 available on the day. We’ll have both display and participation games running, so some to play and some to drool over…! All of the games will be updated HERE
One minor change for this year is that sadly the Tabletop Sale will not be running for 2021. This part of the hall is always fairly cramped with both sellers and buyers and it’s not viable for it to be present until things are a bit safer. We’ll definitely have it back for next year so you might have to hold on to those unwanted bits for a little longer! Other than this we’re not expecting any major changes due to Covid. The University campus currently has a mask mandate in place but we’ll be getting another update a few weeks before the event to confirm whether that will affect us.
All of the show info can be found on either the Battleground website HERE
or our Facebook page HERE
If you’ve got any questions about the event, just let us know.
So, don’t forget to tell your friends about the FREE ENTRY and we’ll see you there!
So, as mentioned, we’re off to SELWG in just over two weeks in the new Lee Valley venue. It’ll be a new experience, our first show for 18 months and the first under COVID protocols. The venue’s safety guidance is here – we’ll also be providing hand sanitiser on the stand and asking you not to open boxes, or handle items more than necessary unless you wish to purchase them.
Of course we have 18 months’ worth of additional new releases to fit on the stand – trying to get stock cast up of all of this has been quite the exercise, and we’re not sure we’re going to get it all finished. Fortunately we resisted the temptation over lockdown to dive into our show stocks and use them to fulfil orders, so we’re well stocked up otherwise (although it’s all a bit dusty…). We’re not yet certain exactly what we can fit in yet, so you may have to take us as you find us…
The current stock plan is as follows:
We won’t be bringing anything from the Land Ironclads, Iron Stars or 10mm SF ranges unless pre-ordered.
If you want to be certain of getting a particular item, or require large numbers of a single item, we are as always happy to take pre-orders. You can either send us an email with your order and pay on the day, or alternatively you can place an order via the website (using the Collect in Person shipping option to avoid shipping charges) and pay in advance. We’ll be taking cash and credit cards on the day.
