Finally made it there…

Well, my pilgrimage is complete. For my 50th birthday my family took me on a surprise trip to Nottingham, and this morning I enjoyed breakfast at Bugman’s Bar before spending a pleasant couple of hours wandering around the store and exhibition.

Obviously, I recommend the trip if you can possibly make it. Even those in my family with no prior interest in the hobby had a great time and were thoroughly impressed.

I found that seeing the exhibitions in real life was very motivating, as opposed to social media, where I find the incredibly artwork demotivating.

The gaming tables were all filled so I got to wander around and see things in action (I’ve never actually played a game - more of a modeller and painter).

It goes without saying that I left with a couple of carrier bags. My wife was so impressed with the Exorcist tank that she insisted I buy one.

So, if you get the chance, do go. A great place.
