I used to be involved in the group, going to their games evenings and even making it onto the committee and publishing their mag for a bit. <br />That it is still going and looks enormous these days, is quite startling to read about. <br />Maybe I need to make a trip to see it in action next year.<br />Anyway, good for you to be back. I have enjoyed the blog and wondered what had happened. Heart disease is no joke, as I know only too well.<br />Keep healthy and keep on gaming.<br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673501442946346473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-27901188293287056212023-05-04T14:48:37.107+01:002023-05-04T14:48:37.107+01:00Glad to hear you're painting again, the floor ...Glad to hear you're painting again, the floor and the lighting are challenging at Salute but I rather enjoyed it, it was much better than their last one when they had to put it on in October to fulfil contractual obligations which was half empty and had barely any games, I find the crowds a positive as an indicator that it's getting back to normal but I understand it must have been a bit overwhelming if you've previously been shielding. <br />Best Iain caveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-27499509544835480092023-05-02T01:27:32.016+01:002023-05-02T01:27:32.016+01:00Welcome back, hope to see some more of your entert...Welcome back, hope to see some more of your entertaining posts in future. Sorry to hear of your surgery but hopefully you recover swiftly and it is interesting to hear the perspective it has given you on wargaming and war (injuries). <br /><br />Living in Australia I have never been to Salute, but I do sympathise with your reaction to it--it seems very "busy" and overwhelming and personally I would probably just go and look at some of the tables and not much more.

It’s glory days seem to have been over years ago. The lighting and the floor are terrible. A lot of traders I want to see do not attend anymore. It’s also very expensive for me to attend. A free dice tray, dice and resin figure do not really cut it with me.

I think a lot of the traders who used to be along the sides are now in the main aisles as they using more halls than they did pre-Covid. Looking at the traders list, the numbers seem about the same or even slightly more than 2019, but missing a number of former regulars - that could be down to costs, hassle of attending or a number of other factors (possibly in combination).<br /><br />I'm glad to hear that your trip has reinvigorated your figure painting. Here's to some good sunlight as soon as possible!
