Teriffic Partizan show today. Well worth the early morning start from SE London. The quality of the games was very high.

Great to meet so many people and try and chat to as many of you as I could!

A momentous day for me. At last I am going to complete a mock up of my board-game. I have 4 games that I worked on over the years. 2 are 25 years old, the other 2 more recent. The pages of notes & ideas have been kept safe, but now I am going to really focus on one of the four.

Big thank you to Simon for inviting us to join the Naval Wargame weekend at the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Pip & I could only attend one day, but that day was great fun, meeting some old friends& making a lot of new contacts who I hope will stay in touch with us in the future.

Fleet Air Arm Museum. Cracking stuff. Loads of wonderful planes & exhibits. Naval Air Nerd Heaven!

Pip was a great tour guide. We saw some amazing planes & I am going to buy lots of weird & wonderful aircraft and helicopters for future games.

Really recommend this museum
