As a regular reader of The Miniatures Page I came across an article today describing the Battle of Stow-on-the-Wold. Interesting both because its pretty close and also because its based on an article by club member Stuart Asquith.

I defy anyone over 50 to look at this photo without hearing the them tune to 'The Sweeney' in their head.
ReplyDeleteThe figures have worn well though and I really must get one of those Hinchliffe bridges.

ReplyDeleteI think its a shame that standards have slipped - a chap would nt dream of playing in the 70's without donning a collar and tie. We've even had players in shorts - shocking!
ReplyDeleteIt must be an informal occasion as Mr Asquith has rolled up his sleeves half way to the elbow!
