For those considering staying over the night before, the nearest decent hotels are the Premier Inn Hampton, which is currently about £43 for a single for the Friday night, or the Premier Inn City Centre (about £51). The latter is on the number 5 bus route to the George Alcock.
You can find us here (Hall 4, ZZ).
Just done some tidying up – you should now find that the podcast now displays links to Amazon and Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts if you prefer those means of absorbing your audio entertainment.
It’s also up on Pocket Casts and Pandora (US only), but the WP theme won’t show those on each episode.
It was my distinct pleasure to guest with Seth on the fabulous Mercenary Star podcast a couple of weeks ago: a very fun chat with a great host.
The subject? To, I hope, no-one’s surprise, the 12th Vegan Rangers.
You can listen here. (It’s also available on YouTube, but TBH I have a face for radio, so… be warned!)
If you ran into Mike at Salute, you may have noticed him sporting a very fetching black Tales From The Periphery T-shirt in the best of sizes (Wargamer XL) featuring our Old Grey Whistle Test-inspired logo.
These are now available for purchase from the site shop – secure payments are handled by WooCommerce Payments and Stripe. Manufacturing and fulfilment is via StreetShirts, and should be pretty quick (same or next day dispatch) as long as Mike is around to transfer your order across for production. Sizes available are S to 3XL. Sorry, UK customers only (for now).
Note: If you want a shirt delivered to the English Nationals this coming weekend, please order by 1pm Weds 22nd May (i.e. tomorrow lunchtime) and Mike will bring it along (floods, etc, permitting).
I have added the UK/Irish dates for this to the Events calendar. Sadly we don’t have exact times for some of the events yet, but you can probably safely assume they are evening events. If your club or store is involved with any of these events, please drop me a line at info@talesfromtheperiphery.org.uk if you have any more details.
Thanks to the excellent folks at the Valhalla Club, we now have a “booth” in their podcast area: it’s https://discord.gg/thevalhallaclub.
Welcome to Tales From The Periphery, an audio podcast, news blog, events diary and resource covering the UK BattleTech scene.
Here you will be able to find a list of places where you can play both Classic BattleTech and Alpha Strike, as well as links to events, the BattleTech UK discord etc.
As we’re still in the startup process, there are a couple of issues I still need to resolve, so please mind your heads on the scaffolding in the meantime.
The site is managed by Mike Whitaker (FleetfootMike on the discord).
