Umm I wish.

No she will accompany me.... then.

Tut at everytime i go to get out my wallet.

Shake her head and sigh at all the stuff i drool over.

Check her watch every five mins.

And despite all that I will still be grinning like an imbecile.

Yes you can enter they have a painting comp every year.
Prizes for 1st and 2nd in each group and an overall best of show award details are also on the site :D

Along with directions and loads of other information www.salute.co.uk

Looks alright. Now just set the time when you lot are going to meet up, and that\'s when I\'m there :)

And no, won\'t be entering anything; haven\'t been painting for a WHILE now.

Margo, I normally meet up with Mike (Dragonsreach) and his friend Paul as soon as I get there or as soon as we get inside. I haven\'t been to the Excel venue before as I missed last years due to being out in the Med/Suez Canal but there is usually space somewhere near the entrance or off to one side for a small group so long as they are not stood around in large numbers they never seemed to mind at the old venue in Kensington. IF you like drop me a PM and I will give you my mobile number.

Hi WG don\'t know if going this year but would like too. Got your PM but since changed user ID can\'t access, waiting for CMON to fix.

Drop me a line at mail@warpaint.biz

Might see if I can get there and enter painting comp and not spend too much of a fortune on the plastic!

Ok for those of you going, the ExCel centre is big.

The venue for Salute itself is one of either 8 or 10 halls, each the size of a football pitch. The main Entrance, Mall, Aircraft Hanger has several Coffee shops (Costa Coffee), seating areas & at least one bar for those people prefering an adult beverage.
There are a couple of seating areas inside the Salute venue but I wasn\'t too impressed last year due to the lack of tidyness. (Read Spilled drinks and dumped food). Outside was Ok though.

Meeting up shouldn\'t be too difficult, but forget hearing mobile phones going off, it\'s far too noisy in the venue itself.
Anyone going to bring some Figures to look at other than the competition ones?

If I get there might bring my first NMM attempts or my Cult of Slaanesh I am doing - Isildur but with a Richard the Lionheart colour scheme - Love that white and red

I might even get around to posting a WIP! - lol

Unfortunately I\'m not involved in the Samurai figures for the game my club is putting on (Penarth Wargames)

Maybe a few of us can pm eachother mobile phone numbers so that we can at least get in contact if we get lost so to speak, just a thought. I would gladly supply mine anyways.

No problem for me, but I would have to do by email until CMON sort my PM out (mail@warpaint.biz)

If I do make it, I\'d love the chance to bring some minis and get feedback from you guys as to what I should be doing to improve - I value the feedback online but my photography skills are even worse than my painting ;)

I think there is a possible way of sending txt to cellphones to a group of people - could that be simpler than phoning to everybody

do I make sense?

well I will probably take some minis to enter in the comp. I have no time to paint anything so my old minis will have to do.

I would love to meet up with everybody and check out their minis and painting.

Very well, thank you! Only got three more weeks of classes left after the Easter break. And then there\'s the inevitability of writing a dissertation for me to face.

You probably won\'t be the only girl there anyway as Tooshy is female and also Shaz (fizl) if she is in the country and comes along.

To recognise a lot of us probably won\'t be that difficult if you look at peoples profiles by clicking on their names you will probably see a photo of us, Well certainly the case in Dragonsreach and my own profiles :D

Failing that have a trawl through the previous PYP threads we are all in there somewhere.

Would love to go but maybe next year, a bit skint ATM, and don\'t drive yet so travel is a big issue for me.

I will definatley get down for next year however, as I have heard nothing exept great things about Salute, in fact the only person with a bad word to say about it is the bank manager!

Banking on everyone else to take plenty of pics and fill us all in on the wonderful stuff though
