FORTHCOMING EVENTS Last updated 31st December 2021
				Naval Wargames Weekend, 2022 The Naval Wargames Weekend was suspended for 2020 and 2021 due to covid, but is currently planned to run in 2022. The provisional date is the weekend of October 15^th/16^th and the venue again will be the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton. More details as and when things are firmed up. Naval Wargames Weekend, October 5^th/6^th 2019 The Naval Wargames Society is holding the ninth weekend of naval wargaming at a new venue. As last year the event will be at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, so expect some games featuring the FAA and the RNAS! The aim of the event is to provide a forum where naval (and other) gamers can come together to run and/or play in each others' games. Games can be as long or as short as you like, and the intention is to include a few participation games so that members of the public can join in too. We are on the lookout for volunteers to run games at the event. If you'd like to put on a game on either or both days please don't hesitate to get in touch. We already have several games booked in but there is plenty of space available; there should be room for upwards of ten tables available of varying sizes. The emphasis of the event is on games and getting together, and we have had a lovely selection in recent years. This is primarily a gaming event so there will be no trade element (although attendees can bring personal items of wargaming material that they may wish to offer t other attendees). There will be a small charge for participation – last year this was £5 for one day, £7.50 for both days. The rates for this year will be confirmed as soon as possible. For more details, or to book a table for a game for all or part of the weekend please contact Dave Sharp. Contact details for the Fleet Air Arm Museum are at the link: http://www.fleetairarm.com/find-fleet-air-arm-museum.aspx NWS “Battle Day” and Jutland Anniversary A couple of ideas are kicking around, and input from NWS members is sought. The biggest is the oncoming Jutland 100th anniversary, an event which I am sure many naval wargamers will wish to mark. There is an outline plan to conduct a refight at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, however volunteers to take part and to organise are needed. If you’d like to help out drop one of the committee a line. The second is the concept of as “battle day”, inspired by similar events that the Society of Ancients have run in the past. The idea is that a historical battle is chosen and is then fought out by visitors to the event using a variety of rules. For example, River Plate played out using GQ2, GQ3, Seekrieg, Victory at Sea, etc. This is just an idea at the moment and no serious planning has gone into it, but if its something that sounds interesting to you then again drop us a line. Naval Wargames Weekend, 2016 The Naval Wargames Society and the Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower are holding the sixth weekend of naval wargaming at the Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower in Gosport, Hampshire. The date has yet to be decided but will be in late June /early July. Watch this space for details! The emphasis of the event is on games and getting together, and we had a lovely selection in recent years year. Although it is primarily a gaming event there may well be some trade stands attending too and traders are welcome to attend (be aware it is a small event). We are on the lookout for volunteers to run games at the event. If you'd like to put on a game on either or both days please don't hesitate to get in touch. Plenty of space and tables are available and there should be room for upwards of ten tables available of varying sizes. Space is available in the museum grounds for camping over the weekend.
