Update, Due to time constraints I have gone ahead and ordered two armies as the prize support from Magister Militum, one each for the winners of the open and plate. But there will be trophies for 1st - 4th in the open and 1st - 3rd in the plate. Getting in. I have had the following information from the show coordinator: "We will allow the DBA'ers entry from 8.30am onwards. They should enter via the main entrance & ask for Pete (Scott) who will take their entrance fee & issue their wristband. They can then report to the B&B to book in their items & then go straight to the DBA room (we'd rather they weren't wandering around the show at this time!). We will, however, need a list of those attending for the DBA so that Pete can mark them off". Is that okay for everyone? Good morning. Please add me to the list of attendees. I am happy to tender my SOA scalp for Society Championship purposes. Looking forward to it. Gonatas - Alan will need your real name for the entry list at the door, nb. See you there.

Hi all,
Connor here. New to the event, the forum and the game! I am not a member of any society but I am willing to have results given etc. I am of course happy to have name given to the people at the door. Did someone say less queue?
For someone very green, are we expected to bring our own terrain and boards? It shouldn't be a problem if so, it's just easier to carry swag from the show home otherwise.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
Connor

Looking forward to meeting you all. Connor Hi Connor yes to terrain- best to bring what you might use or need. Board- Alan and the club supply quite a few, though I'll be taking a couple along for my army to use, and a spare extra or two. It's not expected that you bring a board, but it might help, if it doesn't make travelling to the event difficult. What you need most is army + camp + measuring bits (whatever you use) + dice + rules + a bucketload of luck 🙃 See you there 👍🏼👍🏼 Martin

Thanks for the quick response and for the welcome. Fortunately terrain is easier than a board. I tried to make a folding board but that hasn't been kind to the paint. I will put it in the boot just in case, but the visible electrical tape doesn't make for an appeasing battlefield.

See you Saturday. Martin

Is there a shuttle service to the venue On the website it says ‘Shuttle Bus To be confirmed’. I’ve e.mailed Alan to ask (I have a suspicion that it didn’t run last year…?)

I'll have terrain available to loan out but most guys bring their own so I have rarely had to do so.
We do supply boards. I think we have 12 so that shouldn't be a problem.
Sorry, no shuttle service. The web master has been asked to take down that information but hadn't gotten around to it.
I have the trophies. I have the armies from MM. Just some admin to sort out tomorrow, (I booked two days off work!), and I'll be just about ready.

proximocoal = Connor, I think
antigonas2 might be John Saunders? He’s using public transport these days, and it may have been him enquiring?
Munifex is a level of posting, Alan, like tribune, Senator, Centurion or whatever
