My wife and I took a trip out to England to visit the annual IPMS show near Bristol.
This show seems to be going from strength to strength, with an ever increasing wargame content - including competition games.
The traders are mainly modelling specialists but there's plenty to interest the wargamer too. There's also a healthy bring & buy run by the Lincombe Barn club from Bristol.
I weakened here and bought myself some old (un-painted) Peter Pig 15mm Pirates & two matching resin ships!
There were demo & participation games as well as static displayed models on tables, across three halls in the leisure centre. It took a good two hours just to walk around once!
About 60/40 mix of aircraft to AFV models so plenty to interest me.
A great day out, looking forwards to next year.
