REVEILLE II 2015

I know a few of those who visit CBO are wargamers so, here's some info on an event in November and I may just go to enjoy myself and ease into retirement!

REVEILLE II 2015

Sunday 29th November 10.00-4.00pm

According to Miniature Wargames, Reveille is a fine example of a local wargaming show. It is a friendly event, packed with traders, games and a bring & buy. There are always multiple participation games to join in

It's at the same venue as always, Lincombe Barn Folk House, Overndale Road, Downend, Bristol, BS16 2RW

Entry prices : Adults £3, Concessions £1.50 (under 18s, OAPs).

The show is currently raising money for the Battlegames Combat Stress Appeal. Money is raised through the entry fee, a raffle and other donations. 

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity specialising in the treatment and support of British Armed Forces Veterans who have mental health problems.

Mental ill-health affects ex-Service men and women of all ages, and currently Combat Stress is supporting over 5,000 Veterans aged from 20 to 101, providing a vital lifeline for these men and women, and their families.

The treatment and support services they provide are always free of charge, and are proven to work, for more details visit their site at: www.combatstress.org.uk

 Bring and Buy

Your chance to flog those items you never quite finished and grab yourself a bargain too. Please bag your sales into a small number of big lots rather than many tiny lots. This means we can total up your money quickly and the chance of error is minimized. People expect bargains so price your items to sell. Save yourself loads of time at the show by printing off your 'Bring and Buy' form. Just click on the link, press the 'Print' button to print it and then press the 'Back' button to return here.

Here is the Bring and Buy Form and the Bring and Buy Form continuation sheet should you need it.
