I think something like this would be more suited to Salute than UKGE. Not sure I have seen these type of demo games events from clubs at UKGE. UKGE feels more like a trade show for vendors rather than for wargaming community. For UKGE to give up prime locations on the floor that they could sell might be difficult ask.

Ways around this might be to do a charity game. Partner with the known charity and do like a raffle for some ontabletop goodies along with the demo game.

The other thought is to partner with a vendor. OntableTop store is owned by Wayland Games that would seem a possible choice to ask them for space in return to demo some of the games they sell.

The other aspect to keep in mind is Salute is just one day UKGE is 3 day event plus setup will be a day so that is quite a staff commitment for run over 4 days. That is a lot of ask people to cover as you have pointed out. You will need I guess 3 people each day for a small community that might be a tricky.

I feel like UKGE might be difficult unless Warren can pull some of his connections into this and expand OntableTop current footprint at the event so that what you did had the support from the UKGE team.

I certainly think Salute would be a much easier choice as an event to do.
