Last weekend the BHGS staged our annual Roll Call event in Cranfield. 150 players took part across 10 different events, and all of the results are now posted online on the BHGS Website together with a host of photos taken across the weekend of the event showing some of the armies that were in tabletop action - meaning that those of you who headed off early to beat the traffic can now find out where you placed!
We're now also only 4 months away from our biggest event of the year, Britcon (9th-11th August) running in the heart of the Lead Belt at Nottingham Trent's University City Centre Campus.
This year Britcon is playing host to a number of high-profile events, with the Gripping Beast Saga Grand Melee joining the Warlord Games Bolt Action GT on the Britcon tournament roster for the first time, along with both Swordpoint and a more relaxed Saga "Ironman" events running alongside the Saga Grand Melee competition.
We've also added a slew of new periods and systems, including:
Every Britcon entry ticket again includes a £5 trader voucher and also a grab-bag lunch for each weekend day you are playing - saving you somewhere north of £15-25 in on-the-day outlay compared to many other events and venues on the UK wargaming circuit (and also meaning that "queuing for food" isn't going to eat into your gaming, shopping and socialising time at Britcon either!).
The BHGS have also secured even more student accommodation in University Halls this year for our "onsite" Bed & Breakfast Gamers Accommodation Deal just 5 minutes walk from the venue (and even closer to a Weatherspoons with late night opening!) which you can book along with your gaming ticket. The Uni will be asking us to lock-down the number of rooms we will be taking up sometime around the middle of May, so to take advantage of this offer make sure you book soon, as we will only be able to hold a limited number of additional rooms for sale once we get past the venue's May cutoff date this year.
We are also working on bringing in a few more competition periods, as well hosting several groups who will be sharing our venue to stage their own weekend-long "social" gaming events this year. If you think your group or gaming community might also interested in sharing our venue for a long weekend of uninterrupted gaming please get in touch and we'll see what we can do to accommodate you.
Before Britcon of course the The BHGS Challenge will again return to the UK's biggest gaming event, UK Games Expo at the NEC in Birmingham over the weekend of 1st & 2nd June with ADLG & DBMM on offer this year and available to book on the UKGE website.
Whichever of our events you are planning on attending, we look forward to seeing you across the table later in the year.
