Cavalier 2025 - The Rejects on tour!

 


Myself and Postie drove over to Tonbridge last Sunday to have a walk around and spend some of our hard earned cash at the Cavalier Wargames Show. For many years now, its been our very first show of the year, so we we're both looking forward to it. We met fellow Rejects there, Richard, Lee, (see Lee's video about the show), Steve and Colin, also Mick Sayce who vey kindly bought us all a well needed cup of tea and a roll at lunchtime.

Anyhoo on with the show!!!

And that's it, the show went well from what I could see, it did seem that Traders we're down this years and possibly numbers visiting as well. The show seemed to thin out after lunchtime, we left around 2.30ish, which was early for us, I only bumped into 1 fellow blogger, David from The Ragged Soldier, but still a great day out, see you there next year!

  1. So many great looking games, Ray! The Battlezone throwback to the ‘80s was a surprise and very cool. I loved playing that game at the arcade and then later on a computer.
