Hi my goodfellas,
I am moving to Aberystwyth in a month time.
Anyone playing BKC/CWC around?
Cheers

Hi

Cueball and I are down in Pembrokeshire, we play CWC in 6mm mostly, if that's any help?

Could be good. I'll have a car.
I have USSR, US, Belgian and BAOR in 6mm.
I'll get back in touch once I am settle down.
Very likely that I will have a permanent table by the way...
Talk soon and thanks!

Let me know when you make it to Aber and maybe we can meet up for a pint sometime?

I can personally recommend the pub on the pier in Aber.

Only trouble is they kick you out around 6 am! you got to wait ages for opening time

When I said come to Wales Jeff, I meant the civilised part!

Which is quite small but extends for around 5 miles in any direction around Bridgend...honest!

Bridgend? Ye Gods they eat their children there!

Chwarae teg... they cook them first

Well, the weather is nice enough just now to think about barbecues!

That's simply not true Julesav...we always swop so we don't have to eat our own! To eat your own would be quite uncivilized.

One of my pals is talking about us making a trip up to Bridgend club one weekend - so I guess that I might be finding out for myself sometime soon?

Sut mae!!!
I am in Aberystwyth since yesterday. Who said that it rains all the time in Wales?!!??? The weather is great!
Just need to finalise the accommodation issue and then I can start moving around. I'll be back a lot in Belgium for the next four weeks but after that, I'll have free timeduring the week-ends, and hopefully two 1/600 CWC armies ready.

Jeff

Its the first nice weather we have had in Wales in 10 years..
1:600? Is that like 28mm dude?

Jeff,

As you are now in Aberystwyth you must read the books by Malcolm Pryce. They are a series of detective (PI) novels set in Aberystwyth. They are quite funny and can be a bit dark at times.

Stenicplus is dead right - Pryce's Aberystwyth books are works of genius!

Let me know if you fancy a beer/softdrink and a chat sometime.

Cheers

Jules

I should warn you Jeff drinks orribly potent Belgian stuff and is known to scare small children and animals.

PS - He's almost French

All the above sounds ok to me!

As my Scottish mate Tom once told me: 'Belgians are second-hand French'.
Anyway, ignore Geoff. When I met him (and Lord Pete can confim this)at Salute years ago, he was wearing a PJ top with a dog doing kung-fu. You possibly cannot take him seriously.

Jules,
That'd be good to have a beer. Where are you located?

Hi Jeff

Both Cueball and myself are located in Pembrokeshire. Haverfordwest is the biggest town, I'm out nearer to Narberth, Cueball's nearer Fishguard!

Well, I intended to walk part of the coastal path, so, you'll see me eventually.

Thanks for the tip about Malcolm Pryce, will drop by Waterstones tomorrow.

It was a very fetching garment with the immortally cool Hong Kong Phooey on the front. All the rage in Milan and Caerphilly.

Anyway chaps, you can rest assured that my Belgian friend is a very nice chap even if he is a bit foreign..

...and soon without a country...at the pace at which the political situation is developing in Belgium.
I was thinking to ask for political asylum in UK but after listening to the debates between Clegg, Cameron and Brown, it might not be such a good move.
Maybe the Welsh would have me though.

Don't ask Stafford Games to sponsor you, put it that way!

I hereby invest you as an honourary Welshman. You can wear your Leek and Daffodil with pride.
All you have to do now is be christened in the sludge of Barry Island and Boo God Save the Queen at Internationals.

Have they improved the 'beach' at Barry then?

There's already supposed to be loads of Flemings around south Pembrokeshire (from the 12th century) - although modern research is tending to reduce this to one or two landowners rather than a mass migration.
Join your forefathers Jeff!(but try not to clear too many Welsh people from the land this time).

PS If you really want to assimilate try laver bread- seaweed with oatmeal in it- served with Welsh cure bacon - superb! (although it will raise your salt levels to those of the Dead Sea)
