Alan Abbey (the author of BLOOD, BILGE, AND IRON BALLS naval wargames rules and someone I have known for a very long time!) is one of the main organisers of the Milton Hundred Wargames Club and its annual wargames show, BROADSIDE. In a very recent blog entry he told a sorry tale about how the club's website had been hacked, with the result that it had been closed down by the ISP.
This is a disaster for the club as they are in the run-up to the show and need to ensure that it is as widely publicised as possible. He has asked for help, and knowing that quite a lot of people read my blog on a regular basis, I am more than willing to help out. So here goes ...

Bob are you attending? If so would it be possible if you could please provide me with a few pictures for my scuttlebutt section for BattleFleet?

Chasseur (Jeff),
ReplyDeleteI hope to go ... and if I do I will gladly provide you with some photographs for BATTLEFLEET.
All the best,
Bob
Well done Bob, will do a bit myself!
ReplyDeleteFrancis Lee,
ReplyDeleteIf we can all do our 'bit', one hopes that it will help the club overcome its current difficulties.
All the best,
Bob
Thanks Bob and all the best to you and yours .... Jeff

ReplyDeleteChasseur (Jeff),
ReplyDeleteI just try to do the best I can if it is at all possible.
All the best,
Bob

All the best,
Bob
