Who's going to Salute?

With thanks to Dan Sanders, who posted this on our Facebook page :)

Notice to clubs wanting to put on a game at Salute 2013

Planning is now underway for Salute 2013 on 20th April 2013, and a big part of that is making sure that we have plenty of games at the show.

Email invites have now been sent to all the gaming clubs we have contacts for. There have been a few bounce-backs, and of course, just because the email has been accepted doesn't mean it hasn't ended up in a spam folder or with an ex-member, so if you haven't had your invite, please get in touch!

If you haven't had an invite and your club wants to put on a game at SALUTE 2013 please contact Jim Clark - contact details at the bottom of this post. This year we do have a theme, and it is Jason and the Argonauts [the 1963 Film Version] as it is the 50th anniversary of this classic. It doesn't matter if you don't want to put on a Jason based game, as variety is the spice of life and that's what we want at SALUTE.

Thank you,

Jim Clark

Teaser #3

And here is Alan Perry's sculpt for Salute 2011. This figure will be given away to the first 4,000 through the door on the day.

I should be getting pictures of the painted figure very soon... and I'm very much looking forward to it.

Teaser #1

I promised you the Salute 2011 figure, and here it is. This year's figure has been sculpted exclusively for Salute by the wonderful Alan Perry.

First teaser...

The 2009 Salute figure

Each year at Salute, we give away several thousand figures to the people who come to the show. In 2009 it was one of my favourite figures, the Zulu warrior and British Rifleman. There were some 'teething troubles' with the figure - the base made it twice the weight of any previous give-away - but it's a lovely piece, and I have seen them changing hands on eBay for almost twice the cost of entry to the show!

Anyway, here are some pictures of that figure, as painted by club members, by the sculptor, and by the winner of the 2010 painting competition.

Painted by members of the Warlords for our publicity material

Painted by the sculptor, Adam Clarke of Black Scorpion

Painted by Kevin Dallimore, Warlord and celebrated painter

Painted by Jose Antonio Bustamante Gamba, winner of category 12 of the 2010 painting competition

Oh - and the 2011 tickets are now available - see the 'Salute 2011' page on the menu bar at the top. I am hoping to have the first teasers of the promotional figure before the new year...
