After Barry floated the idea of us running something a little different in 2015, I am pleased to announce the first confirmed Waterloo 2015 Weekender - 16/17/18 October 2015 in Derby. We hope to have at least 1 more date for a 'Waterloo' in Scotland/Scottish Borders (around April/May) and we are looking for suitable locations as we speak. Once we are able to announce further dates you will be the first to know.
With this being such an iconic battle and anniversary, we are making the Waterloo Weekenders a little different than previous weekenders.
I will be sculpting the battlefield and based on the fact that we (Adrian's Walls) have just produced 2 bespoke builds of the battlefield - I'm sure next years terrain will surpass anything you have seen at previous weekenders! All the usual buildings will be there - Hougoumont, La Haye Sainte etc
I said we are adding something a little different and memorable to these particular weekenders and the first of these is that each guest will get a painted 28mm command figure representing their actual commander - to use over the weekend and keep as a momento of the weekend.
The second thing that we have added is that all guests of the Waterloo weekenders will be entered into a Free Prize Draw on Sunday 18th October where the prizes will be the sections of the terrain itself. Anyone attending any Waterloo Weekenders will automatically be entered into the draw.
We may also have a few other little surprises, but will keep these under wraps for the time being.....
The Weekend comprises of a full residential package with 2 nights stay and full meals covered (breakfast, lunch and diner, tea/coffe/biscuits 'on tap' during the day). Mein hosts will be there for all your requirements and entertainment...( ...LIFTGATE...!) and to make your weekender a memorable one.
The cost of the Waterloo Weekender is £300pp. A deposit of £75 is required upon booking with the balance payable 10 weeks prior to the weekender date (booking forms and T & C's available).
With regards to booking - the 'office' is now open. However, as a thank you to previous guests for the support and input they have given to make the weekenders as successful and popular as they are, we are giving 'Priority Booking'. Up to 20th December 2014, priority booking is available to any previous guests of any of our other weekenders. After this date any remaining places will be available for any new potential attendees. We are happy to take 'reservations' now, from any potential new people wishing to attend and any remaining places will be allocated/offered on a 'first reserved/first served' basis after 20th December 2014. Please PM me so that I can compile names etc.
For further details or queries, please PM me or post on this thread. Either Barry, Toggy or myself will keep updating you with 'intel'.
Cheers
Adrian
