FUTURE EVENTS!

Prepared in conjunction with The Miniatures Page and the UK's Newark Irregulars. Also, do not hesitate to Email the HMGS Webmeister direct to insure your event gets listed, or if you have special details or wording you wish to convey. All of us here are willing to help your event gets the exposure it needs to be successful and promote this great hobby of ours.

So by all means, drop us a line and let us know what's going on in your neck of the woods. We'll surf on over to verify your Website and then post your event on the Webpage you're reading right now. And if its purly military history related, vice gaming, no worries as we'll be happy to list that as well

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!
