I assume that you don't publish all of your telephone conversations online, and that this isn't because a forum/facebook etc isn't safe, it's because we all have a right to privacy. I totally respect that right, and if others wish to communicate in private for whatever reason, then I don't question the reason, I respect the right.
It's a bit like chatting in a pub, do you shout loudly enough so that the whole pub can hear, or do you discuss things on the same level as the person chatting to you.
I trust that explains the wording, nothing mentioned or implied regarding the forum security, nor would there be any reason to do so.
Cheers

Hi Rob as the advert said its cheap to talk and get lot more done in a five minute phone call than typing with one finger on the forum.

I had a good look around their website, they have several large rooms, and what looks like a nicely mown grass area outside, car park etc. Their facilities are excellent. It may be that we could use the grass area in the summer? I have dropped them a line for prices and availability, I have also contacted another hall but no reply as yet.
The Bristol Armoured Division website is now up and running though it could do with some pics to go in the gallery, builds, tanks etc. It doesn't matter how good they are, just something to fill the empty spaces.

Will post updates as and when I get them.

If we can get enough people together we appear to have an offer of a battlefield area at a large model show in the area on 9th August this year.
Can anyone who is available let me know, as the organisers will no doubt be asking me to confirm attendance.
We will need a minimum of five members, plus scenery etc.
Cheers
Rob

Rob , if its a public show don't forget you will need liability insurance to attend , i know its something else to worry about but with today's claim culture its a must

i don't doubt that Rob , just a reminder, two years ago at the war and peace show a chap tried to sue one of our uktank club members because he fell over a 1/4 scale tiger 1 barrel ,lucky for us a stall holder saw him and told us that he had seen him take practice fall before , its a shame but seems to be more common now

We just use a firing squad, it's a lot cheaper and we make them pay for the bullets.
I know what you are saying about the insurance, in todays world it is pretty much mandatory.

Hi Pete
Its a one day event, though from what the organiser is telling me it is expanding year on year so they are taking two halls this year. The location is a modern leisure centre north of Bristol just off the M5, at Thornbury.
I will send you a link to their website.
Cheers
Rob
