BHGS Challenge 2014 - post event report and results

9/4/2014

We are pleased to report that The BHGS Challenge 2014 was a resounding success!

The results are now published on our site, but to give you a flavour there were some notable highlights too, with 50% more players than 2013 and a number of landmarks as well, including:

9 themes, including Bolt Action, DBM and Epic all new/returned after long absence (and Saga in its second year)

Loads of entries - 128 players, including umpires, with increased numbers in all periods

Plenty of "buzz" in the main hall

David Fairhurst leading the FOW on Saturday night, despite playing an army picked up from scratch and not having played FOW for nearly 2 years

Darrell Pearce going one better and winning the DBM overall despite not having played it at all for 2 years

The help we had setting up the tables on Friday and taking them down/tidying up on Sunday night - would have been impossible for the Challenge team of David and Tim, but there were loads of guys there to help, in particular the members of Oxford and the Trunkies, Ian Mackay, Colin, Gary and Dave Redhead and Bob Medcraft and Ray Briggs

So, all in all a great weekend.

We look forward to seeing you all again at Roll Call in June !

On behalf of the organising team at the BHGS we'd just like to thank everyone - players, traders, day visitors, umpires, list checkers, first aiders (yes!), terrain providers, camp followers and vaguely interested passers by who helped make this year's Britcon in Manchester what people seem to be telling us was something of a resounding success !

The results are now up on this site as we speak, and there is a whole bucketload of stuff on our Facebook Page from the show as well - you can also upload any pictures you may have taken to the Facebook site too.

We'll be sending out a post-event email and survey once we catch our breath so you will have plenty of opportunities to give us your feedback and suggestions in the next few weeks, however if you attended and enjoyed it we'd really appreciate it if you can post some comments to that effect on whatever forums and discussion groups you are members of, as (hopefully positive!) word of mouth is the best publicity to help us continue to run and grow Britcon in future years.

Also don't forget our two Doubles/Pairs Competition weekends being held later this year, for DBMM, FoGAM, FOW andFoGR. Bookings are open for all of these events and places are limited so make sure you stake your claim early!

For those of you who need to plan ahead we will be running the BHGS Challenge on 11/12th April 2014, this time in Oxford, and Roll Call will return to Cranfield on 21/22nd June. Britcon 2014 will be held on the 8th, 9th and 10th of August, again in UMIST Manchester. Getting the booking system up and running for all three is on the BHGS "to-do list", but right now we're all off for a soak in (several separate) hot baths and what feels like a well deserved a rest.... !

Thank you to all the competitors (and umpires, list checkers and table-shifters!) who helped make Roll Call 2013 such a great success - over 150 players including a record attendance in Warhammer Fantasy Battles meant a good time was had by all in Cranfield over the weekend of 22/23 July. We've posted all of the results we have on this site already.

Our next event is the Big One - Britcon in Manchester and places in all our competitions are filling up fast. The Britcon Trade Show is also now sold out and we have details of all of our traders posted on this site already, as well as a page where you can reserve your free entry ticket to the show.

Finally, don't forget our two Doubles/Pairs Competition weekends being held later this year, for DBMM, FoGAM, FOW and FoGR. Bookings are open for all of these events and places are limited so make sure you stake your claim early!

This year as usual we will be offering the traditional mix of trophies and period specific prizes provided by some of our traders. In addition we are delighted that one of our Event Sponsors Osprey Publishing will be providing a fantastic selection of their wargaming titles which will form part of the prizes on offer.

These include:

2 sets of the entire Field of Glory Napoleonic series of games (3 books in total)
2 sets of the entire Force on Force set (1 Hardback rules set plus 8 army lists)
2 sets of the entire Field of Glory Renaissance set

Not bad huh?
