Welcome to our forums. The Bristol Big'Uns are a group of people who enjoy fantasy, science fiction and historical wargames. We tend to play mostly table-top wargames but you will sometimes see CCGs, CMGs, RPGs or board games. If this sounds like a hobby you currently enjoy then why not come along. The club is based at Iron Acton, between Bristol and Yate, in the recently refurbished Parish Hall and is held Sunday evenings from 6 pm until 10 pm. There are tables and chairs available plus various sized scenic mats and terrain for table-top wargames. Please bring with you any drinks or snacks that you require.

Happy to get toys on the table Ken.
Currently can do 12th & 19th Jan, or any other Sunday in rest of 2020.
Take you pick.

1979?
Firstborn had just arrived so wargaming took a back seat for a while.
Up to then I had been playing a Western Desert campaign using 6mm tanks and WRG rules, and various board games including Diplomacy.

Re: What Were You Doing in 1979?
Well
In 1979 I went to see Motorhead at least twice, plus UFO and countless other bands, not sure if I was still in the British Model Soldier Society at that time
Good review though.. Enjoyed it
Kind regards
