The Hammerhead Experience So what do you get for your
money? The ethos of Hammerhead is visitor participation. All the
games you will find at the show cater for involvement by the public and
cover a wide variety of periods and settings as diverse as Warhammer 40k
and the War of the Roses, Warmachine and the Great War of 1914-18.
When
you enter the show you will receive a unique show bag. Within you will
find, aside from the usual flyers and show plan, a unique 30mm figure
sculpted especially for the show (if you are among the first 600
visitors) and a draw ticket. The Prize DrawIf you register
your draw ticket by 3.15pm you will be entered into a prize draw. Each
year we give away a number of vouchers or as we like to call them
‘Letters of Marque’. These vouchers are exchangeable for goods with any
trader standing at Hammerhead until show end.
If for any reason
you have to leave early, we will contact you through the number/e-mail
on your slip and you will receive the LOM at the start of the next show,
but remember to keep your slip!
Every paying visitor has a Draw
Ticket, but for each game you participate in you will be given a Game
Slip. Take this to the Information Desk and you will receive yet another
Draw Ticket for each Slip you collect.
The FigureEach year
we commission the sculptor Tony Quickenden to create a new and unusual
figure for the show. Last year we went a little wild and had two figures
commissioned, so that visitors got one or the other. And since we liked
the results, we’ve gone and done it again. No confirmations yet as to
what they are, but we’ll just say male or female, fifties and cold war
for now.
The Bring & BuyIn this period of
credit-crunching and lean-living, we have decided to keep the Bring and
Buy (or Flea Market as our cousins across the Atlantic say) as a key
facility of the show. Run by the highly efficient and non-controversial
Wargames Emporium, visitors and exhibitors alike will be able to put
their unwanted gaming matter up for sale. Nearer to the show, we will be
putting up a contact website so that you can get your stuff registered
ahead of the show.
Due to the recent hacking, we did lose
all of our information on the previous shows including photographs, so I
have put up a Hammerhead 2008 item. There you can see the Traders who
attended and the games that were presented. Obviously the 2009 list will
be different but you'll get an idea...
