Joy of Six 2023 - Many thanks

3rd Jul 2023

This is just a quick note of thanks to all who made this year's JOS a massive success.   I am sure that the internet will soon be awash with photos and videos, so I will let others tell the story of the day for the moment.

What I would like to do is to thank all those who staged some jaw-droppingly awesome games - to single any one out would be both divisive and unfair.  Large or small, the quality and enthusiasm behind them were first class.

I would like to thank the traders for putting their faith in the show, taking the considerable time and expense to prepare stock and get to the show.  They all help make JOS the Mecca for the 6mm community that it has become.

Of course, I definitely need to thank those of you who made the journey to Sheffield to just visit, look around and play the game.   The numbers attending increase year on year and we now regularly attract an international audience.

 I really do need to thank the small but enthusiastic band of Yellowshirts.   These guys are all volunteers and without them to help out we could not possibly stage the show that it has become.    They are there early in the morning helping the games and traders to unload and get in place, and there at the end to help them all pack up.

Finally, I'd like to acknowledge the key role played by my wife, Lindy.  She has spent the last month sorting out ever-shifting floor plans and rotas, was there on the day before the show helping set the tables out and was pivotal on the day itself organising the floor and sorting out the mishaps.

JOS is a perfect example of co-operative and good-natured teamwork by lots of groups and individuals.  That is what makes it the wonderful event that it has become.  Well done all!
