First set of pictures from Carronade

I got back from Carronade about an hour ago. I took about 170 pics and I've quickly sorted and edited through the batch and uploaded the set below. More to follow in the next few days. Click to enlarge/go to original file on Flickr.

Firstly, the venue. Carronade is spread over two main rooms, two minor rooms upstairs and a hall connecting everything together. Here are a couple of pics of the main halls.

And now onto the games.

Border Reivers - The Affair at Elswick

AVBCW has been simmering below the surface for some time now. A chat with the lads running this game revealed that there is an 'official' set of rules in the works.

Carronade warm-up - picture galleries

And a second gallery of the ones with less artistic credibility - a reflection on my camera handling - not the games themselves: Carronade 2010 - less than perfect pics
