It’s be a while since the last update so just a quick update to keep up with all the new stuff going on at the club.
There was another very varied mix of games filling the hall with a welcome visit from some lads from Lyneham with their Zombies game which was very well received by those who played. For those who missed it they will be coming back again on the 30th. I believe that Mark Dodridge actually managed to survive so may have finally found his calling.
Other games being played included
WH40K with the new Necrons taking on Chaos Marines,
WH40K I think between Imperial Guard and Marines
there was a third WH40K battle as well but I can’t remember the details
A large War of the Ring battle between the forces of Gondor defending a city and those of Mordor assaulting it.
A Malifaux scrap between Neverborn and the Outcasts
A Flames of War Vietnam engagement
Warhammer Fantasy Battle between Empire and Ogres
A couple of Flames of War WW2 games
An introduction game to the 28mm Napoleonic to Republic to Empire rules between Russians and French.
Matt mentioned that there will be a briefing next week for the upcoming Warhammer Fantasy campaign ‘Blood in the Darklands’ which should kick off the following week. Don’t forget that the WH40K campaign will follow from 18th July details can be found on our forum.

Before I depart the lofty heights of club chairman I’d like to quickly review the club activities over the past year.
With only a few niggles the year has been one of success and significant positive aspects.
We have had very successful campaigns organised for us by Paul Nettle, Paul Belcher, and Graham Philpot, all which have involved a large number of our membership and encouraged the mixing of our various cliques. I can only hope that this continues over the next year.
The weekend events were well supported and the two days over the Christmas break saw some impressive games and mini-campaigns take place. As a club we’ve sent representatives to various competitions, sometimes doing very well, at others providing company to the other players at the bottom tables. Our club games were well received at the three of the main local shows we attended. As a whole the club has grown and whilst this might offer some challenges, it is a positive thing which we can easily address.
The number and variety of games being played each week has changed dramatically over the year as new games have been introduced and found flavour, from the Flames of War resurgence, the rapid take-up of Magic the Gathering, the enthusiastic welcome of Dystopian Wars, the wide and varied incarnations of Black Powder, as well as the more recent arrivals such as Hail Caesar and Malifaux. All have contributed to the already varied and dynamic games culture we have fostered.
Before I depart I’d like to thank Simon Foreman for the dedication and diligence which he has provided as Club Treasurer over the last 12 years. He has supported the club at it’s greatest moments, as well as supporting us through our very worst times. It gives me great pleasure that we were able to recognise for his service with the honorary membership to the club.
I’ve enjoyed myself over the last seven year but now it’s time for someone else to have all the fun. Whilst I do leave with some regrets it is with a lot of pleasure that I hand over the hat of office to Paul and wish him all the best.
Guys, thanks to my committee, and thanks to you all for all of the support over the last year and hopefully we can have more of the same for the year ahead.
Best wishes
Warren
