I missed the 2011 show because it fell during the Easter holiday and I had already committed to a family holiday (the sacrifices I make!). So today's review of past Salute's is last years show in 2012. In really struggled to get round this event in the time available. Partly this was because of the size of the show but also because I spent so much time meeting friends and chin-wagging! Not that that's a bad thing, but I really must rein it in a little this year. I was still buying stuff at ten past five as traders were trying to pack up and the stewards were ushering us out the exit!
I thought the standard of the display games this year went from "Impossibly Good" to "Gobsmakingly Awesome!". The Demo game eye candy is always one of the things I most like about Salute. But I have to say the Corunna table by the Essex Gamesters was amazing and a very worthy winner of Salute Challenge Shield.
