Bring Out your Lead BOYL 2018

The assembled

Well I had an amazing 2 days again in the company of the Oldhammers of BOYL at Wargames foundry in Newark. Diane ensured I got there on Friday, the meeting was  outstanding event for the  Oldhammers and visitors alike. In good company most of the time with Bryan Ansell and the  great Dave Wood among a multitude of others who came to chat. Again a superb venue and layout Diane and crew laid on food and drinks all day. I would say the attendance was  double last years  event at least. many new faces and people from all over the world attended and enjoyed the experience.

the pictures of the even are  in some order this time ...

 Many tables of gamers who showed some fantastic terrain and miniatures  ion both days was a joy to wander and view, her is a selection
