As mentioned in another thread, our UK Convention is to be held on the weekend of 26/27 October, at the
Great Barr Hotel in Birmingham, UK.
There has been some sort of get-together in the UK every year since 1997, originally for Air Warrior pilots, but last year it covered Aces High too - in fact, as it turned out, it was a mainly AH event. This year, of course, it would be an Aces High Convention. We started out having relatively small "Summer Meets", but these have gradually got bigger to be more of a small Convention, with about 40 people attending. Hopefully, now that more of us are playing Aces High, these will continue to grow in the future.
These events, although small in comparison to the US equivalents, are always a lot of fun, and it would be great to see some new faces (as well as familiar ones, of course) there this year. You can expect an action-packed weekend with plenty of competitions, quizzes, Gala Dinner with a 'veteran' Guest Speaker (tba) etc, in great company... we are also planning on having a webcam, complete with a chat window for anyone who can't make it to see some of the action and maybe get to chat with someone there to get the latest news.
To whet your appetite, here are some links to reports and pictures from previous "Meets" and Conventions we have held over the last 5 years:
