I may not play Thurs pm (depending what shape I am in post longhaul). I may not play Fri as I've had a message from the tour organiser that its possible there may be something organised. So its a bit play it by ear on Fri and I certainly don't want to play 3 games that day thanks! So suggest we keep thing quite flexible to avoid disappointment. For max variety my preference would be to play people who are not in the early period comp.

Well I was just trying to do you colonials a favour so that you weren't just wandering around on your own looking for some sort of leadership and inspiration as usual and someone to be your friend. I mean look at whats happened to you all since we left you to fend for yourselves.

And, Usually 10ish. I've certainly never seen it open any earlier on a Friday.

I'm planning on being there for all the games Phil has me listed for. My flight arrives at 7:30am on Thursday, so allowing for 3 hours of customs, getting to hotel, grabbing something to eat, etc., I should be there 10:30ish.

Isn't it also unknown as to when the venue might be open and when the tables might be set up as well ?

Might as well have the full set....

There is no indication that the venue is available before Friday. Perhaps Hammy and Nobby can confirm this. Be a pity if players turned up as per the past on Thursday to find that they can not get in.
