Southend Wargames Club

We attended Boys' Toys at Hylands House, Chelmsford, last Sunday and were very pleasantly surprised at the excellent response from the public both to the show and our own Wargaming section.

As well as Southend, who ran a Colonial skirmish set in the Sudan, a SciFi demonstration game by Essex Warriors (Writtle) provided something a little different and the public participation WW1 aerial conflict "Wot No Parachute" by SEEMS caught the imagination of some young aspiring pilots (and their parents!)

Much of the time was spent explaining the hobby to members of the public and, this being the main objective of the exercise, we trust it will result in an on-going interest by the young people we involved that will help in keeping our hobby alive into the future.
