A days gaming had been arranged, with our old chum John yesterday. It was Dave's birthday the following day so I took along a little birthday gift, an old HLBSC FT17, duly repainted to represent Lord Emsworth latest addition to the Blandings arsenal, to protect his precious
pig castle. To celebrate this the planned ECW game became an impromptu VBCW game. A full report will appear on Dave's blog,
TalesFromGHQ in due course, meanwhile here are some pics of the action from Lord Ems prospective.
