Colours

Over the weekend I read that Colours, the annual show at Newbury organised by Newbury and Reading Wargames Society won't be on this year.

Normally it's held over a weekend in September and although it's a bit of a trek, it's one my son and I usually look forward to.

The official announcement is here.  It looks as though there's been a committee change and they've decided to take stock for a year due to the size of the show....it has certainly grown over the years into a large 2 day event although as a punter it always seemed very smoothly run...maybe an example of swan-like grace on the surface and frantic paddling underneath!!

Oh well... warfare may have to substitute and Cavalier's coming up soon

  1. Don't forget Salute in London as well. That one is well worth going to

    1. My normal show schedule is Cavalier in Feb, Salute in April and then Colours in Sept...any more than that and I'd spend too much money! I guess I'll have to find a substitute for the Autumn.

  2. That's a shame, we were planning to go to Colours for a change, haven't been there in a few years!!

  3. I like Colours, mainly because of the venue. I find Warfare a bit claustrophobic!

    1. I only ever went to Warfare once and negotiating the roundabouts in Reading was a bit of a nightmare!
