Derby World Teams 28/29 September

[kevinj]

Now that Britcon is behind us the next big event on my calendar is the team event in Derby, so it's time to give things a bit of a prod.

We've revamped the pools following last year's initial event to give more focussed periods. The full details are available here: http://www.worldwargames.co.uk/.

I'm grateful to those teams and individuals who have already told me they are entering, but since the entries don't come directly to me I'd appreciate it if anyone who hasn't done so would let me know so I don't have to start bugging the Derby organisers.

Hi Kevin,

Burton has 2 confirmed teams this year. I'm putting in the entries this week

thanks

Kevin, after our earlier e mails re my individual entry am I safe to put my formal entry in?
John

[kevinj]

Yes John, that's fine. That will give us a total of 3 individuals so I suppose we should come up with a team name.

[marshalney2000]

Happy to leave that creative thinking to you.

So Kevin,

how many teams do we have to date?

Here's what I have been told for definite:

MKWS are returning to defend their title.
2 Burton Teams
2 SELWG teams
Ilford
1 team of 3 individuals (currently without a name)

That's 7 teams so far which is what we had last year. There's another 3 teams that I consider likely which would be great.

Blinking heck, there should be a Central London in there.

Simon, stop moping about the Ashes and get yer finger out!

Trrrpt!

Hey Kevin, we should be there as a team, Dave A, Martin Van Tol and me

they did take my money....

[urbanbunny1]

Our team name is "To Mediocrity & Beyond"

I will be carrying Dave A after his rather poor performance at Britcon....

LOL

[kevinj]

Thanks gents, my list was just people who had confirmed to me. There's a couple more that I'd expect but I need to catch up with the organisers to see if there are any surprises.

[quackstheking]

Hopefully there'll be an Oxford team, cos if Alasdair enters as an individual with you and John, the rest of us will be fighting for 2nd!

suddenly the cause of johns overeager impetuosity becomes clear, manchester, derby ....... the word. is there anything the thid triumvirate cannot accomplish (other than coming up with a team name that is ....)

[timmy1]

I must say I thought that the team name was 'the thid triumvirate'...

[spotteddog]

TTT for short T. hunter

[kevinj]

The latest information is that we currently have 9 teams, the 7 above plus Les Trois Mousquetaires and Central London TMaB. It would be really good if we could get at least one more.

For those of you that are not local, where are you staying? I normally stay with a friend in Derby but he's away so I'm keen to join up with any beer and curry excursion that may be happening on Saturday evening.

Which we found pretty good last year, though we did not eat there.

[kevinj]

Unfortunately the cost has risen too much since you booked.
