Though in recent years some shows were cancelled due to the pandemic, over 800 people came through the doors to welcome the show back to its regular May slot.
Carronade, named after the famous naval gun built at the Carron Ironworks in the 18th century, boasted over 30 traders from all parts of the UK selling everything from paint brushes to war games figures, and dice of every shape and variety needed for war games and board games.
A feature at Carronade were the number of participation games run by club members and members from other clubs in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK. Attendees of all ages could take part in these games learning the rules, and perhaps some history, but mainly having fun in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. There was also a painting competition and flea market.
In his first year as the club chair Garry Lind said “It was great to see the gaming community getting back together after Covid Interruptions. The high standard of games on show indicate people have been very busy during lockdown”.
He also thanked the volunteers, staff at Graeme High School, and the committee of the club for making the event run smoothly.
