Could this be the recent ‘surge’ in interest for Billhooks and the skirmish Rukus game? Both are getting a lot of press and popping up in blogs / videos a lot?

Billhooks was published whist we were writing Test of Resolve but we were relieved to find that it was a large skirmish/small battle set rather than main battle.  Although Billhooks is popular some people that bought armies for it also want to try something else so it has helped us.  The Perry plastics are a great intro into the period as well.  One set of rules was bought by a young lady for her boyfriend and there was then a rush of Edinburgh University students to the Pendraken stand to buy 100 Years War army packs!

And smelly?

I did not notice it being smelly fortunately.  It was busy without being a scrum.

750 through the door so not a small show by any means.  We took a trade stand for the first time,  Test of Resolve, and were quite surprised that there was more interest in our established Wars of the Roses range than our new Hundred Years War stuff.  The traders generally seemed pretty busy, the flea market was packed (I picked up a good selection of 10mm Vietnam stuff, not great painting but only £20) and there was plenty of interest in the painting competition so all good.

I was on the organising committee of the show for many years and I would say numbers are back to pre pandemic levels, if not slightly higher.
