It is now exactly one week until the biggest wargame show in the UK takes place.  I refer of course to Salute 2012 at Excel in London’s docklands.  Saturday 21st April is the day and I will be there on the Alternative Armies / 15mm.co.uk trade stand plus I will be doing the ‘Sharkes Gingerbread’ Flintloque scenario participation game across the day too.  You can read the scenario on Barking Irons Online.  But that is not what I am aiming at with this post…oh no…

Every year the company makes a Salute promotion and part of this is an option for customers to pick up their orders on that day from the trade stand.  This is dandy as it saves them the postage and ensures they get what they want (some codes, especially the sold out limited ones in the ‘swop drawer’, sell out at 9am when the doors open!) but…

Please for the sake of my sanity and worker relations with the rest of the crew get your pick up on the day orders in NOW, not just before the show.  London is four hundred plus miles from Girvan and to get to Salute I have to leave early on Friday morning.  The last packing and casting shift is that Thursday morning.  Every year, without fail, we get a few pick up orders placed late on Friday or even on the Saturday morning!

I live to please (ask my kids and my good lady) but I cannot do the impossible.  If you want to pick up on the day..please order before Thursday 19th!

Thank you for reading my annual one week to go to the show vent!
