Since the Partizan show moved to the new venue we have had to compromise on the dates of the shows, particularly the second of the year, which has been pushed forward into mid-August from its traditional slot in early September. Whilst we think that everyone would agree that generally the move to the showground has been very successful, the need for the second show to move to mid-August does, we believe, impact on numbers and also makes it far more difficult to tempt games as so many people are away at that time. In addition the relatively short period of time between the first and second Partizan shows makes organisation rather difficult.
We have recently been asked by the showground to make a further date change as they have a large client who wishes to take the whole venue for a weekend. We have used this opportunity to ask for a more radical change to the date in light of the demise of the Derby World’s show.
Therefore we would like to announce that, whilst this year’s show dates remain unchanged from those advertised, from 2020 The Other Partizan will have a new date in early October.
A reminder that the dates for 2019 are:
Partizan: 19th May
The Other Partizan: 18th AugustThe new dates for 2020 are:
Partizan: 18th May
The Other Partizan: 11th OctoberThe dates for 2021 are:
Partizan: 23rd May
The Other Partizan: 10th OctoberCheers
The Partizan Crew.
Dear Simon
We are pleased to confirm that we have booked for you at Partizan MMXIX on Sunday 19th May at the George Stephenson Exhibition Hall, Newark Showground,
8ft x 6ft Games Table
We have spoken to the venue and have agreed that there will be the opportunity for us to do some setup on the Saturday afternoon before the show. If any traders or games would like to start their setup at that time they would be very welcome. We do not yet have the exact time for this but will let you know as soon as we have finalised details.
We anticipate having the hall available for setup from 7am on the day. Doors open to the public from 10am officially, though we often let people in from a little before if the weather is inclement. Officially we will close at 4pm. As a courtesy to the paying public please do not start to clear away your tables or stands before 3.30pm.
We will have a steward outside the venue to direct you to your place when you arrive. There are a large number of suitable doors for unloading and you will be directed to the one closest to your stand or games table. As at previous shows we will be providing traders and gamers packs with each table which will contain coffee vouchers and free figures for everyone and raffle entries for the gamers.
As with last year’s shows, in conjunction with Wargames Illustrated and Wargames Soldiers and Strategy magazines and the Battlegames Online Wargaming Site, we will be presenting three awards.
There will be the Macfarlane Shield for the best Demonstration Game, the Pete Gill Shield for the best Participation Game and the Editor’s Shield for the overall best game at the show – chosen a trio of wargaming luminaries. We are extremely grateful for the agreement and help from both the magazines and the judges.
These awards are in addition to the raffle prize which is open to all games presenting at the show.
If anything happens to prevent you coming PLEASE let us know, so we can re-arrange. As you know we have a waiting list for traders, so if you can’t come we can slot someone else in. Even on the day let us know using the mobile number above. For gamers it is also important to let us know because we hate having bare tables left out.
We hope you have an enjoyable and profitable day,
Best Wishes
Laurence & Richard
Laurence Baldwin and Richard Tyndall
