GRIMSBY 2021 - Denmark 1985

Ok it's been a while but as things are looking a bit more positive it's time to start planning the annual Cold War Commanders get together in Grimsby. It will take place over the weekend of Friday 8th October to Sunday 10th October. Below you will find a provisional timetable for the weekend.

Friday 8th October  - Set Up (No players needed for this but if you are planning on stopping Friday night you are more than welcome to drop in. If there are enough from the two teams you may even get the chance for a impromptu briefing session.

Friday Evening - Curry Night (7.30pm ish)

Saturday 9th October - 9.30am Players arrive followed by briefings so hopefully by 10.00am we will be able to get cracking. Fish and Chips for lunch! You can't be in Grimsby and not have Fish! We will play on as long as possible into Saturday evening so we can get as many turns played.

Sunday 10th October - 9.30am Players arrive and we will get started as soon as possible. We aim to start packing up around 3.00pm to allow people plenty of time to get home. Sandwiches plus other snacks will be available for lunch.

Cost will be £20.00 as usual payable on the Saturday. This does not include the curry on Friday night but it does include the Fish and Chips on Saturday and the Sandwiches on Sunday.
