Club meeting 14 December 2025
Holiday season is approaching, a quiet time for some, but for others it's Cancon training season! We had three Napoleonic Glory is Fleeting games which gave us a chance to try out army lists and give some entertainment to visitors and spectators as well.
There's one more meeting scheduled this year on the 28th of December. That falls nicely between Christmas and New Years and there are already several games being arranged for that day. Hope you can join us for the final meeting of the year.
