DCA996 (Colchester)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi, I'm Glen and live in Colchester. I have been a Napoleonic wargamer for many years and and after a hiatus of 25 years have spent the last 18 months purchasing more scenery, figures etc, for the Waterloo period. If anyone is interested in one off battles, campaigns etc. let me know. I have 15mm and 20mm figures (around 5200 at the last c ount!). I use computer based rules to take a lot of the hard work out of the process but have discovered in recent months Warlord in Notingham and their rules.

Myriam (Frinton-on-Sea)
Seeking a book club
Good afternoon I am fairly flexible when it comes to genres although I do not enjoy 'Court Cases' books. I was recently widowed and was a full-time carer for my husband for the past 3 years which I found very isolating. I would welcome meeting like-minded people to discover and discuss a variety of books. I would like to meet once a week if possible I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Myriam Ayling
