A gentle reminder from Dave, more a plea for help, the society display team does need help at the shows, please put yourself forward, even if it is just out of pity for Dave. If you can help then please contact him.

The following are some photographs from the 25mm Grandson Demo game which gained 3rd place at the recent Sheffield Triples show. Credit in the main to Bob Metcalfe whose figures we used. Two games were played over the weekend, the Swiss shading it on the first day, but on the Sunday the Burgundians, not being too adventurous this time, got on level terms, see what happens at Salute. Please be patient while the photos download.
