Stewards Enquiry !!!

I feel Roger's sportmanship points for an early list should be reviewed bearing in mind the spies I have in his camp alerted me to the fact his early list was in fact illegal !!!

You heard it first here folks !!!

rogerg · Post by **rogerg** » Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:54 am

Shoot the spies then Robert. My list was not illegal, just inadequate. This has been corrected by a few small additions.

Robert241167 · Post by **Robert241167** » Wed Oct 05, 2011 11:58 am

Your list will always be inadequate Roger !!

were you ever teacher's pet robert? sniching on your mates doesnt go down well in these parts - maybe moving the venue to accommodate the fast growing number of entries

david53 · Post by **david53** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 7:24 pm

Can I suggest Robert plays in the first round an army with say Chariots in it.........

I'm sure someone said something about club mates not playing each other does this go for Robert as well since he now plays at MAWS on Monday nights.......

navigator · Post by **navigator** » Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:12 pm

just need one more player to even the numbers up.... am relying on jon smith from sunderland- but 3 or 5 will also be ok...

well into double figures too so will be the biggest ever Bayfog ! almost rivalling Schiltron for size, but clearly outstripping it for quality !!

Sponsorship and prizes looking fantastic too - will be announced shortly; and will be allocated in a sporting manner not weighted towards winning but emphasising the taking part!

navigator · Post by **navigator** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 3:08 pm

Thanks to a superb response from the wargames trading community Bayfog entrants are promised a mouthwatering feast of prizes next week.

Newsflash !!!

Apparently there has been an introduction of a Bayfog Loyalty card.

It seems I may be the first to get one which I fully deserve after trying to negotiate a hazardous river in my Clio one year.
