We are very sorry to announce that, because the existing premises at East Stoke are no longer suitable, we have decided to postpone this year’s Oldhammer BOYL event.
Foundry are actively seeking new, better and bigger premises to relocate to which is likely to take some time. We are in regular contact with Foundry and we will update everyone with moving news as it arises.
What about the backup October date?We will NOT postpone to the October date - the next Bring Out Your Lead will be in 2027.
What this means for youWe will not 'recreate' BOYL at another venue - Bring Out Your Lead 2026 just won't go ahead. We imagine that some local 'bootleg' BOYLs will appear, and other similar types of events, but these will be organised separately and any relation to our August date and location is co-incidental.
As a result, if you have booked accommodation and travel, we advise you to cancel.
Bring Out Your Lead will no longer take place in 2026.
Bookings have been suspended.
BRING OUT YOUR LEAD will be generously hosted by venerable miniatures company Foundry Miniatures - a manufacturer with ties going all the way back to the origins of Citadel Miniatures.
Bring Out Your Lead (affectionately and unfortunately known as 'BOYL') is a celebration of all things Oldhammer; old games, old miniatures, old ... well, people too! We get together once a year to put on amazing narrative games surrounded by these old rules and miniatures - just like the pictures of the games we stared at in those various gaming magazines all those years ago before there was an internet.
And, whilst it gets harder to bring any more definition to BOYL, you can rest assured: Bring Out Your Lead is NOT A TOURNAMENT!
