Running Since 2004, the Gauntlet Wargames Show is a two day player event focused around playing wargames and board games. Usually held the first weekend in July each year.
Where other shows can focus toward trading and retail, Gauntlet is designed to be an open gaming weekend, with room for tournaments and traders alike. So if you don't decide to sign up for a tournament, why not simply come along and observe this wonderful hobby
Other games will be held by club members for people to observe in a friendly show environment.
The venue traditionally has been the Airbus Dining Hall, up stairs above the Wings Social Club, which previously served as part of the Avro Lancaster engine production line during WW2 and gives us a large and spacious venue, with licensed bar and beverages downstairs and a tea and coffee bar in the main hall run by the club. Some info on previous events can be found here: Previous Events.
The Gauntlet Wargames and Gaming Show has been run by the club since 2004 as a friendly player based open event focused on actual gaming, competitions, participation and demonstration games. The club invites players from across the country to join us for our event! If you have any questions about the event, please contact us.
