We like a good show here at Noobs and their Paintbrush, be it one that
has been going for yonks or a brand new event. In this case, we have a
brand new one for you!
ChillCon, as the name suggests, is the first convention from the crowd in charge of the Chilling Wargamers Facebook Group (here) and Asylum Wargaming (here). While I could probably waffle on for a bit, I'll let their memo do the talking to fill you in on all the right details.
Asylum Wargaming, co-hosts Chilling Wargamers, and chief sponsor
S.L.A. Industries: CS1 will debut Sheffield’s new wargames show,
Chillcon, on 27th May, 2017. Guests can not only look forward to guest
speakers, tournaments and participation games, but also the cream of the
UK’s independent wargames traders, manufacturers and publishers. The
event’s participation and demonstration games will feature ArcWorlde and
S.L.A Industries: Cannibal Sector 1 alongside Kings of War and Bolt
Action tournaments, giving guests plenty to see and enjoy. They can also
enjoy the event’s trademark Chillcon Carni and a free goody bag upon
entry.
Whilst confirmed traders include—amongst others—Warploque
Miniatures, Daruma Productions, Dark Ops and Broken Toad, a limited
number of pitches are still available. Traders or companies wishing to
reserve such a pitch should email chillcontrade@gmail.com, as should
potential partners or traders wishing to place their products in
Chillcon’s goody bags.
Chillcon will be held at Ecclesfield
School, Chapeltown Rd, Sheffield S35 9WD. Tickets will be £6.00 on the
door or £5.00 in advance, with £1.00 of every ticket sold being donated
to the Autistic Society, Help for Heroes and the Myasthenia Gravis
Association.
