20 Seconds of Fame

My other big project at the moment apart from recruiting more toy soldiers is to help real ones.
I am chair of a group of trustees who are planning to take over the local hospital which closed in 2018.
We hope our first tenant will be Erskine, the Scottish veterans charity, who hope to set up a veterans activity centre in our complex. (They already run a successful one near Glasgow, this will be the first in the north.) Many Wargames shows, including the Waterloo refight last year donate to Erskine, so this will be a great cause, and of course, one of the activities will be wargaming and military modelling. Plenty room for a big table !
Also on our group is Maj Gen Seymour Monro, ex co of the Queens own Highlanders and a serving collogue of well known Wargamer and author CSG who served in the same regiment... it is a small world as they say!
Yesterday a 20 minute TV Interview was condensed into 20 seconds.
Oh well,  back to 40mm soldiers today
