For shows, look here: http://www.newarkirregulars.org.uk/calendar2011.html

Both Fiasco and Recon are in Leeds. I never got to a Fiasco, but always enjoyed Recon.

Several traders and clubs have it pencilled in but the Wakefield & Osset Wargamers who run it have disappeared from the web. Their old website has gone and I found a new forum that they started in May but no one has posted on it since July and now the cyber adware has started to take over the site. After last years snowfall stopped a lot of people going to Leeds I was wondering if they had packed it in.
