Doors open 10am - 4pm, Templecombe is about 40 mins south of Bristol, in the glorious South Somerset countryside near the North Dorset border.
The cost is £10 for Tank commanders

Anyone who would like to attend will be made very welcome, plenty of tables, and lots of new improved scenery. The hall is carpeted and great for running tanks. Tea/Coffee provided - if Rob remembers to bring some and I don't forget the milk. Please bring your own lunch, we aren't that generous!

I'll be there, looking forward to seeing new faces, clocks change for winter on the Saturday night (go back 1 hour) so don't forget to spend an extra hour in bed!

Good to see the Melksham massive! They're so tech savvy, even their tanks have mobile phones!!!
Some vid please lads.

Thanks to all who attended, I enjoyed not having too many problems. Although those little 1/35th IR controlled tanks played ruddy havoc with the Clark board IR systems!!!! Was about to play chuck a panzer until we figured out what was happening!

Some pics from today:

it was a great day, and those errant IR signals confused the hell out of me, trust them to be the last thing in the 'process of elimination' process. I went through three tanks all suffering the same symptoms, lol.

Great pics, and a great turnout, can't wait for the next one.

Another great day of tanking, cheers guys.

Here's the video from onboard Tiger 312

BTW I think the little beggars causing all the interference were 1/72 Waltersons tanks. My sole photo

Yup, we established that those Waltersons tanks and IR sensors don't mix, the 1/72 scale tanks are IR controlled, and they seem to be on the same frequency as the IR systems that the battle systems operate on, which sends them haywire.

Great video, if it wasn't for that blue tape at the end I would never have figured out how you managed to keep the phone in place.
