    Default Doncaster con 2022

    This thread will be for members who intend to attend the uk Doncaster convention this year 2022.
    If you are a member of the Wings forum please post your preference on the companion thread on that forum.
    If you are not on the Wings forum make your choice and place here as I will collate.

    Doncaster 2022 badge
    Good day to all,
    I wish to get a start on this year’s commemorative item.

    We have a possible choice which we would like to offer.

    Choice 1. A pin badge as we currently have, it will be light blue same design as usual with Doncaster 2022 inscribed.

    With this choice we would need to know numbers by mid April. We will then get the price and publish but then payment be made by the end of May. If you order a badge then , sorry , but you will be expected to pay for it, without exception.
    Reason being the badges are paid for in advance upon ordering so we have to recoup the monies. These days spares cannot be ordered so if you commit to a badge you pay for it. Badges will then be given at this years Doncaster meet.

    Choice 2 This year we may be able to offer a custom t-shirt or polo shirt, a blue in colour, to be determined. The intention will be to have an embroidered motif, possibly our wings motif with Doncaster 2022 underneath.

    Choice 3 Nothing, nada, nowt, sod all

    So we need a consensus as to which choice those attending Doncaster this year would like to have.
    If we get a choice for option 2 we will then explore the viability of the shirts.

    For the choice please look and let us know by the end of March

    I will colate the numbers and choice.

    Over to you guys

    Is Option B the same as Option 2?

    Either way, I'd opt for 2. Or B.

    Can I sign on here Chris or do I have to go to the Drome?

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Thanks Chris.
    In that case it would be choice one for me, and one for Mrs Bligh.

    The battle of Ragusa/DUBROVNIK.



    The objective was that the British squadron of Frigates under command of Commodore William Hoste should clear the coast of French warships prior to investing the city of Ragusa and landing guns to command the heights overlooking the city.

    It looks like you had a great time, thanks for posting this so we can all see how the event went.
    The scenery for the first game looks superb.
