PAW has staged a convention in Plymouth every year since 1983.

Here's what was up for grabs: the trophies!  Several of these were specially painted by club member Kevin Shillito

And here's the first winner: Colin "Smudger" Smith took Best Participation Game for his Call My Bluff Double Blind Beach Assault game. 
This was a very clever game, with players making their moves unable to see their opponents.  They then had a brief glimpse through the door in the screen, when they could call down some fire on the opposite beach.  Lots of fun for all the players, and amusing for the spectators, as well!

     
Next we have the 15mm Siege of Badajoz game from Philip Martin and his team, which was awarded Best Demonstration Game

This featured 19th and early 20th century buildings inside earlier Vaubin style fortifications, combined with nicely painted models and an enthusiastic set of players, who were always willing to answer questions and explain what they were doing. 

     
Next we have the Peter Pig team with their Bloody Barons game, which took the Best Game prize.  They ran it as both a Demo and a Participation game at different times, and made an impression on our judge with their patience in explaining the way the rules worked to new players.

PAW club members Steve Pearse and John Soper put on a really nice Battle of Ramillies game, with lots of well-painted 15mm figures.  So well-painted, that we gave them the Best Painted 15mm Army trophy.  

     
Paul Buller took the Best Painted 25mm Army for his Beastmen

This year we added a Warhammer 40K event to our range of competitions. 
Despite deciding to go ahead with it somewhat late in the day, we still  managed a reasonable turnout, and a nice range of armies

Karl Booth with Tau was the winner

Kyalo Burt-Fulcher with Eldar was second

     
The Warhammer Fantasy Battles competition was well supported again, with 20 players, and some very nicely painted armies. 
Duncan Gosling was third

Chris Myhill took 2nd place

Darren Watson was this year's winner
