What a guy!

When the leader of the Cardiff Dice Studz Youth Section was recently taken ill, it set all our minds a racing!? How could the club function? Who would be there to steer the ship? What would Christmas be without our own Mr. Claus?

Our Christmas festivities without Mr Lane: impossible!

This set me pondering on just what makes the ideal club member? That was a little too much like hard work so I reached for AI….

Mr. Lane – the only time you could call him a Leftie!

“The ideal wargames club member possesses a blend of strong social skills, a positive attitude, reliability, and a genuine passion for the hobby. These attributes foster a welcoming, inclusive, and enjoyable environment for everyone.”

Mike’s latest passion on display in November: Seven Years’ War

Cardiff Dice Studz aren’t known for their warmth. There I’ve said it! If you don’t fit you aren’t welcome! Why pretend!? Mr. Lane has learnt to tame us. He has lived and sucked hard on the exhaust pipe of life. Genial in conversation and slow to anger in the event of repeated allegations of card tampering! He rises above complaint and invites us all to make a contribution in the manner of our dear Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Mike’s painting table: what will he finish next???

Mike’s passion for wargaming and modelling are legendary. Gauls, Britons, Greeks if they are naked, he’s your man! His knowledge of military history marks him out as an academic of the highest order. A published author, Michael ticks all the boxes for the ideal club member.

Sometimes Mike’s models are clothed, like these ACW cavalry.

Thankfully his operation was a success and he will be returning to the bosom of his club very shortly! We all wish him a speedy recovery and a restful Christmas!

Just a fraction of Mike’s naval collection.

If you are recovering from medical issues, trauma, anxiety, or even loss of sobriety, then please help the Dice Studz reach out this Christmas.

Bless you all!

Merry Christmas everyone!

  2. On the basis of the diagram, I too am a Leftie! 🙂 I have, however, now recovered from rolling round the floor laughing at your Urgent Appeal!
