Without seeing official stats, I'd guess that 50% of attendees drive less than 2 hours to attend and that a further 45% drive less than 6 hours or fly in. Most of those people can attend smaller local conventions through the year. <br /><br />I'm a bit like someone living in Sweden who wants to go to a big London show but doesn't want to fly. Even the closest smaller cons are 12 hours away from me so may as well go the extra distance.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-67848489229649333132011-07-01T09:30:54.651-03:002011-07-01T09:30:54.651-03:00I am absolutely gob smacked at the distances you g...I am absolutely gob smacked at the distances you guys travel for wargame shows - I've not been to one yet where I had to travel over two hours....

The guns are being dragged by specially bred skinny horses but I believe the plan is to sway the guns up the side of the transport using block and tackle, or perhaps the mysterious hand of the Maker.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-63440003940489097682011-07-01T03:23:06.072-03:002011-07-01T03:23:06.072-03:00Keep a very good eye on your health, Ross . . . no...Keep a very good eye on your health, Ross . . . none of us want you to take any foolish chances. <br /><br />If you feel woozy, STOP!
