I’ve just emailed a couple of Nottingham wargaming clubs, found at random via google. If I unearth any info. I’ll post here ASAP. Back in 2018, when I was in London for a few weeks, he organised for us to meet up at the North London Wargames Group. He was thinking of joining at the time. But I can't find an email address to contact them. Maybe you'll have better luck? After returning to Australia, he and I only communicated via email. Jim

Stevie was pictured here (back row, 2nd from left) at Bakewell, in Feb 2023:
On Oct 3 2023 Stevie said he would attend the Steel Warriors DBA event on 23 March 2024.
On Jan 11 2024 Sheffmark posted that he would shortly be emailing 17 people who had expressed interest in attending (incl Stevie).
On Feb 26 2024 Sheffmark posted an updated list of interested attendees. A question mark appeared next to Stevie's name, indicating a non-reply (?).
On Mar 5 2024, Sheffmark posted the updated list of attendees. Stevie's name was no longer included, presumably indicating no response.
Stevie has not posted on Fanaticus since Oct 26 2023, nor has he visited Fanaticus (logged in) since that time.

Yes he had expressed an interest in attending Steel Warriors but never replied to any of the emails I sent him. However I think concern was raised before then when he suddenly stopped communicating with Paul M about rule changes to DBF (not sure when that was?). Also I don't think he attended Britcon in Nottingham, in August of 2023, which we thought was his home city, when he had attended this before, although I have a vague recollection of him mentioning a "family issue" as to a reason for his non attendance at one event, but can't remember when or where that was.

Correct re Britcon 2023. Not named as a player: www.bhgs.org.uk/britcon-2023-results.htmlBut he still seemed to be his usual self on Fanaticus right up until Oct 26 2023.
So Stevie's last communication re rule changes to DBF could be the last time anyone on Fanaticus spoke with him. Can anyone on the DBF development group confirm when this might have been?

I feel that he would have been in touch unless suffering from a major medical condition or finally being locked up for crimes against taste - subsection criminal t shirt division. I the last two cases I am not sure even that would stop him. I only knew him from the scene but his enthusiasm for the system, beer, gaming, did I mention beer and inappropriate t shits was a force to be reckoned with. Beers up to you good sir Stevie.

I shall be hoisting the colours high, tonight. I shall drink a mournful toast to our beloved Stevie. Should he return to us, I am sure he will much appreciate the gesture. Should it be that he has crossed the River Styx, and is settled into the Elysian Fields, then I am sure he is growing rather tired of waiting for us to join him in a well-earned dram already!
Either way, consider making a toast to our friend Stevie.

I'll join you. If he has crossed the River Styx, I'm sure he regaled Charon on how rivers should work in DBA! If he has not, and returns to us, I will positively get drunk like a pirate that night!
Cheers to Stevie!
Jim

I can picture Stevie giving Charon a 'How Rivers Should Work!' lesson as the latter steers him silently down the caverns of the Styx! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Do you get the feeling Stevie had a few issues with rivers?
