New Committee and Games for 30 July 2008

The Annual General Meeting was held last night and proved succesful and, surprisingly, entertaining.

Once the minutes have been approved as being vaguely truthful, more details will follow. However, for those of you who missed the coup d'etat, we have a new committee consisting of Brett (Chairman), Phil (Secretary) and Mick (was Secretary and is now Treasurer). Thank you to Brad, Mick and James for their wise guidance during their tenure; now pass me the service revolver and we will cut out the red tape....

Next week is the World Record Breaking 40K Battle that involves just about everyone apart from the splitters who are doing something Colonial. I am not sure what the difference is but either way it is bound to get nasty when it comes to close quarters and, in the words of Robin, things get 'chippy choppy'.

Games for 23rd July

This week the German WWI planes were loaded with blanks, the Vampire army looked like it finished with more figures on the table than it started with and the Empire army ended up in Chaos, literally! Next week is the AGM, the agenda is- Scenery Commitee Children Club representation at shows etc Club funds Subs Types of communication Club specialized period Club game for shows Legionary The plan is then to sort out the club scenery followed by small games to be brought in by members if there is time left. The following week is the big 40k club participation game 4000+ points per side, Tyranids vs Imperium and Eldar.

British getting ready for 1859 to 1871

When the British had successfully finished their business in the Crimea writing excellent war poems and staging good poses for war paintings they had the option to continue on their way to the rest of Europe and also to intervene in the American Civil War. I think they would have looked a bit like this ...
