My name is Sally, I am the organizer of the Hammerhead show based at the Newark showground which will be held on 28th February 2015.
We would like to invite you to put on a participation game at Hammerhead 2015
Hammerhead 2015 has a new, much larger venue, The George Stephenson Exhibition Hall at Newark Showground, which is only 2 minutes from the A1 at Newark junction and offers very easy access into the venue for loading/unloading as well as unlimited free parking.
The most important feature and focus of Hammerhead is the opportunity for fellow gamers to come together and try out a range of table top miniature games. Only with your support can Hammerhead aim to present a wide variety of games of different periods, scales and genres, which, unlike other shows on the wargame circuit, are all public participation and not simply demonstration. Gamers attending the event are encouraged to play, and therefore, get more involved with the various clubs, teams and individuals presenting the different games. The visitor participation games are all located in the central area of the exhibition hall which is a very large, insulated space with plenty of natural light. It has its own catering facilities, which will be serving a variety of reasonably priced hot and cold food throughout the day.
The Hammerhead figure for 2015 is a 28mm Great War German general. The British General figure from last year’s show will also be available. Both figures have been specially sculpted for the show and are cast in lead free pewter. All those involved in running a participation game will receive a free miniature on the day.
Game Trophies
There are traditionally three awards given to the teams running the games each year, these are:-
A: Best Visually Appealing Game
B: Best Constructed Participation Game
C: Overall Best Game
The team awarded ‘best overall game’ will have their club/team name inscribed onto the Hammerhead shield.
For Hammerhead 2015, with the generous space available in the Exhibition Hall, we are aiming to accommodate approximately 50 to 60 participation games – twice the number presented at Hammerhead 2014! It is vital, therefore, that we know the size of the game that you wish to present so that we can plan the layout of the floor space as efficiently as possible. Please state the number of tables you require for your game(s). Each individual trestle table measures approximately 6ft x 2.5ft.
If you wish to take part please contact me, games@hammerheadshow.co.uk and forward the following details.
