Myself, Bill and Hula have a plan to go to Salute in London and relive our tabletop gaming fetishes. I am trying to persuade Iffler, Nine and Grograt to join us.

Was thinking of opening up a 'lets go look at little models, hand out some DW fliers then go for a drink' invite to the good folk of Darkwind.

if anyone is remotely interested that is  B)

I would love to try the Actual Car Wars game with someone at least 1 time, but short of a Wormhole opening up in the living room that leads to your front door, I doubt I will get across the pond. :(

Interesting yeah.....

I just checked with Michael O'Leary and he says he can get me there and back for €70...

Is Gatwick or Stanstead better to fly into?

Seems like a good idea, anyone dropped Val a line? As to airport that would depend on how you hope/plan to get to London from there.

Yeah, it'd be cool to meet Val..

RE airport, was kind of hoping for some words of wisdom about the best location for meeting you guys and for the approximate location of the event itself..

Probably fly over on Friday 23rd and back Sunday.

well if you went to stansted a certain Leicestershire person could easily pick you up and deposit you some where dodgy in london ( i take it salute is still being held in chelsea ? ), could be a plan in the making maybe, need to look at dates and the like

date SALUTE 2010 - Saturday 24th April 2010

location Excel Exhibition Centre in London Location details

well location is at the end of the M11 ( I know the excel centre very well, i was a builder on it lol ) there are numerous hotels located very near by, holiday inns etc

stanstead to excel is probably only about 30 miles

as a thought though sam, could you fly into London city airport
the excel centre is facing and there is a shuttle bus to it, you could probably even fly home same night

They only seem to link with Dublin. Too much pain getting to Dublin, I'm only 1 hr away from Shannon.

Then i would say Stansted as it is around 45 minutes from excel centre itself, ill have a look and see about transport links.

ok you have the stansted express which is a train service to Liverpool street station, there you can get a direct link to trains  docklands light railway which goes to Excel centre tself

As the alternative, Gatwick is 30 mins from Victoria by train, bit of a pain to get to the DLR though (from what I remember), so Stansted is possibly the better option.
