On Sunday Rejects Surj, Ian, Postie and myself drove up to Crystal Palace for our annul trip to SELWG.
I bought a few bits and bobs during the day, I'll show off my new shinies later in the week. I ended up with a sore throat at the end of the day, I did more chatting than buying!
Also, I got to try out my new camera, well its actually my mobile, but its got a better camera than my actual camera??? So hence the funny shaped pics!

It was a great day Christopher.
DeleteExellent pictures Ray ! Thank you very much for sharing !
ReplyDeleteNice to see that you tried to get a Swedish connection to by the blue IKEA bag in picture 2 ;)
ha ha! You can't beat a bit of Ikea!!
DeleteWow! that's a LOT of cool pictures of a LOT of cool looking games! Thanks for sharing Ray!
ReplyDeleteThere were lots of very nice looking games.
DeleteSome really good looking games on show there, especially like the WW I game for its sheer size and the fact that is was 6mm. Good report, ta for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great looking game, it looked like you were watching a battle from way up in the sky.
DeleteHi Ray, was great to run into you! Nice photies. Best, Simon
ReplyDeleteI did want to have a go of your game, just didn't get the time, maybe the next show??
DeleteLovely photos, thanks for sharing Ray.
ReplyDeleteNo probs Bob!
DeleteWhat a wonderful post with marvellous pictures! I adore the Waterloo shots in particular!!
ReplyDeletePeter
The Waterloo game did look excellent.
DeleteI agree with you - Waterloo (but possibly Nantwich) would be my favourite too... what on earth was Postie spending £130 on?? :o))
ReplyDeleteThe Nantwich game was very nice but Waterloo beat it. Postie was topping up his 25mm South American Wars of Independence, He boughet loads a few years ago, but has still to put a lick of paint on any of them.
DeleteThanks for all the mouth-watering photos, Ray. Wish I could have been there. Good to see the Rejects out in force. You never did tell us what you bought!
ReplyDeleteThat's for my next post Michael ;0)
DeleteSo much eye candy to enjoy. Thanks for sharing, particularly for those like me 'across the pond' who couldn't attend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the games Allan.
Deletelooks like you had great fun! Hope that guy with the humongous blue bag in the second photo didn't bring it to hide stolen goodies in it :)
