Hammerhead 2011

Kelham Hall, Newark was the venue for Hammerhead 2011 organised by the Gaming Club Network. A popular event with plenty of folks partaking in the wide variety of games that were being showcased, from War of the Worlds to WWI, from Cowboys and injuns to American Civil War. Quite a sprawling venue in what is an impressive building, if you get a chance to visit it then take a look. It is the Council Buildings for Newark, but you can arrange to have a look around.

Also present was the 'Tenth' Doctor and a couple of Daleks, 'real ones' as the Doctor said, not these new versions dreamt up for the Eleventh Doctor. As we had quite a bit of Doctor Who products we were situated near them, which allowed us to spread out quite a bit. And when the lights were finally put on people could actually see what we had.

The show itself was a big success with the games being well used, unfortunately as is the way of the world at the moment people were very cagey with their hard earned money. Plenty of folks looking but not so many buying. So not quite the success for us this time as in the previous Hammerhead, but we still did make a profit, albeit a wee one.

All said and done we look forward to the next Hammerhead in 2012.
