One Week GB - anyone up for one ?

[NARSES2]

Dates not fixed in stone lads but April seems a good time.

I've checked the Scottish Nationals and they are 25th/26th April.

Easter is early this year (should have checked) and Good Friday is 3rd April

I'm putting in another vote for the mid April, 10 day Cold War build. Gives a theme to it without being over bearing, and the 2 weekend time frame is perfect. There are a billion kits out there that can be bought ( for under a tenner ) and built in less than a week.

Personally I preferred the One-Week Build being its own theme.

[Mossie]

Me too, the theme of the 1WGB was always just that, getting a build finished in a week and was a change to the traditional GB's.  For those who want a return to traditional GB's, maybe a Cold War theme could kick those off.

Also, historical themes tend to kick sci-fi into touch (no prizes for guessing my current thoughts) unless you can fit it into a fairly specific alternative history.

As suggested the other day, an Easter unthemed 'freestyle' just-for-fun GB gets my vote.

[The Chaos]

Maybe we should take a vote?

[Librarian]

If it's Easter, how about (wait for it)......Egg Planes .   

Sounds off: Dog barks in distance.

[Captain Canada]

I can go either way. I wouldn't mind an excuse to build a Cold War jet, but if it's freestyle I could do that anyway ! But having thought about it, freestyle is the way to go ! No sense excluding anyone.

I personally like this idea as well. Gets my vote.

I guess there is nothing preventing two group builds over the course of the coming year, no?

[NARSES2]

Right to be clear -

The 1 Week Build GB will be free style. Build anything you want in the time frame. That is the way 1 Week GB's have always been done and I'm a traditionalist.

As Jasonw says there is nothing to stop people having a Cold War GB and if the participants want to hold it over a week or 10 days then all the more fun. Timeframe would be sometime after the 1 Week GB, maybe late Spring before the Summer Holidays kick in. You would need to think of the rules however

So do I have a volunteer to organise the Cold War GB, 1 week or otherwise ?

Freestyle - yes!

Freestyle - scope for Cold War entries regardless of any subsequent Cold War GB.

Organise the Cold War GB or the One Week GB, Chris?  I will follow up yesterday's PM today but for now I'm sticking my head above the parapet for the One Weeker.

[NARSES2]

Right

I have you down as a tentative organiser of the 1 Week GB Dave  I am away for a week or so but will be checking both site and e-mails.

I'm assuming one of those campaigning for a SEPARATE Cold War GB is prepared to organise it with some help from me ?

[NARSES2]

Right just to let you know I'm away at the moment and my old notepad is getting a bit long in the tooth. So I will not be checking in every day. I'll get down to sorting all this out with some prospective dates etc once I'm back home.

I'd porbably be up for it, although I should warn you that I have a habit of organising 1 DAY group builds.
