From the Show organisers
Richard, Laurence and Steve
We have today contacted everyone on our traders, gamers and other exhibitors list with this sad news, but we will, once again, be running a #PartizanintheCloud event on the day! More on that soon!
After having cancelled the May Partizan we have spent the early summer watching the news and trying to work out whether or not we are going to be in a position to run The Other Partizan in its new October slot.We had hoped that there might have been a sufficient return to ‘normality’ for us to go ahead with the show without restrictions but it is clear that, even if a vaccine is as advanced as we are hearing over the last few days, there is no way that it will be ready and distributed by October. A return to normality in any meaningful way by the time of the October show is just not realistic and it seems there will be no large scale indoor events going ahead for some while yet.We have also considered whether it would be possible to run the show in a socially distanced, safe manner which would allow us to go ahead but with various measures and restrictions in place. We have considered ticketed time slots and various other measures but in the end they would amount to limiting the numbers of people who could attend with a serious knock on effect for the traders. We also know that many of those who put on games do not yet feel sufficiently safe that they would be happy attending an indoor event with many hundreds of people present – and that is if we were even allowed to go ahead, something that is not the case at present.
So as we did with the May show we have decided to make a decision early to allow people, particularly those who make a living out of the show circuit, to plan accordingly.
We are therefore announcing that The Other Partizan 2020 is cancelled. All being well our next show will be Partizan 2021 which will be held at Newark Showground on May 23rd 2021.We also need to deal with the refund of traders fees for those who paid prior to the May show. When we offered to return the fees from the May show no one chose to take us up on the refund and all monies were transferred to payment for October. We do not feel that it is right to hold on to the money any longer now that the October show is cancelled and so will be arranging to return all monies as soon as possible. Since we still have a horribly archaic bank account, we will be doing this by posting you cheques and these should be with you within the next couple of weeks. Please note that a fair few traders had still not paid by the time of the May cancellation so obviously not everyone will be getting money back. We will be planning on holding another Partizan in the Cloud on 11th October – the last one was far more of a success than we had expected so we are keen to repeat it and improve on it. We hope we will have your support in this and we will contact you separately in a few days to see if you have ideas to make this another great virtual event! Thanks for your ongoing support with the shows and I hope we will see you all again next May.
Best wishes
Richard, Laurence and Steve
We have been reviewing our P+P rates to keep up to date with recent price increases. We’ve keep them as low as possible and will continue to review them regularly and adjust if necessary. Rates can be found here.
Hope everyone is staying safe and painting lots of miniatures.
We’re still open and despatching orders. We have plenty of pewter and resin to keep casting.
There may be a slight delay in despatching your orders as we are not visiting the post every day, and the postal service is running a bit slower than usual. Please be patient and allow extra time for delivery.
There are now 4 1/48 Kubelwagen available in the web shop. We’re working on drivers etc for release later.
Production started in early 1940 and continued until 1945.
We will continue to process and ship orders as long as the post office is still accepting packages.
Please stay safe and take all necessary precautions.
Salute 2020 Postponed
It is with deep regret that we must announce that Salute 2020, due to be hosted by the South London Warlords wargames club at London Excel on Saturday 18th April 2020, is being postponed.
The Club committee has taken this decision following the recent change in Government advice and with the likely ongoing uncertainty in mind. We understand that this will impact on many people, and therefore, as you can imagine, this decision has not been taken lightly or easily: we have balanced all the great things about Salute with the health risks to traders, gamers and attendees.
Salute will now take place on Saturday 17th April 2021.
We are in the process of contacting affected traders and gamers directly to discuss next steps.
All tickets purchased so far will remain valid and we will reopen ticket sales nearer the time.
The South London Warlords remain committed to Salute, having hosted the show for over 45 years. With the support of our traders and attendees, Salute has become the biggest one-day independent wargame show in Europe and an important event within the wargames calendar: we are working hard to ensure in continues as such.
Most importantly we hope all you and yours remain safe in these challenging times.
