Next in our COMBAT 35 series is scheduled for 2-4 May 2003. It will be running at the same time as the local village festival called the Cuckoo Fair and so expect the odd drop of local brewed cider the be had If you came last time you'll be aware we had a spot of power problems and so this time we've hired a big backup generator as we did for the Gladiators event. We know this is a bit of an overkill but we're determined that power will not be an issue again!

The LAN fun of playing all-in-one-room BattleField 1942 will continue of course, and as usual we will be trying out several new games.

ComBat 35 parties are held next to the New Forest and you'll find the event a relaxed and cosy party with tournaments, curry, beer and filmsonthe menuu plus much much more for fun, fun, fun!!  

Anyone turning up in World War II combat gear will automatically be entered in a draw for a cash prize.  Uniforms from Army, Navy, or RAF all count- so let's see some leather helmets, goggles and leather flying jackets people! 

If you want to join the party just add your name to the attendance list and once you're sure you can make it buy your ticket and your place is assured.

Official Tournaments for this event will be based on the Battlefield 1942 game. Game servers for other popular games will also be provided.

The schedule of events is relatively simple for this one:

The venue is about 5 mins away from the A338 between Salisbury to the North and Ringwood to the South. At Downton traffic lights turn into the village and remain on road through village.

Remain on road up hill to junction where the Indian restaurant, chinese takeaway and post office are on same road, the hall is on right 50yds past the Indian Restaurant.

If approaching from the South go through New Forest towards Downton, Woodfalls and Hale. Remain on Downton road and you'll see the venue on the left as you reach same junction with the Indian restaurant.

The venue has a kitchen with microwave, cooker, kettle, and a fridge. There's plenty of free parking (although you park at own risk).
