Mortis was kind enough to drive me over to Triple Helix and the place is awesome. Steve seems to be a great guy and took the time to show us around.

The Gaming area is pretty huge, I can see why people are choosing it for tournaments as there is plenty of room and a decent selection of terrain (well at least for 28mm scale stuff). The canteen is far more than adequate, its not a 5 star restaurant by any measure but the offer of hot and cold food and drinks makes spending a day at Triple Helix gaming seem like a very good idea. Of course you can't have food facilities without providing for the inevitable, the toilets are handily situated right near the gaming hall. The shop is of a fair size and already has a fairly diverse stock of miniatures as Mortis has already listed. Steve also seemed keen on stocking new ranges and to order in items from other companies on demand, best of all at a 10% RRP discount for anything that was available to them at trade prices.

The few people in the store seemed to be more mature gamers, whilst we were gaming there was a 40k game and a Flames of War game in progress. Best of all was that there was no hard sell, in fact when Mortis wavered at the counter Charlotte seemed genunie in saying that he didn't have to buy anything (of course he did though). All in all a very pleasant couple of hours were spent there gaming (and purchasing new minis!).
