See you there

For those of you considering joining the 19 souls already signed up for Nottingham, a bit of good news in that despite initially telling us last week that we'd already reached the limit of available onsite accommodation at Nottingham Trent, the University have just been in touch just this morning to let us know that they have now managed to find a few more additional onsite B&B rooms to allocate to Britcon attendees.

As a result onsite rooms are now back on sale for the 2-night B&B package.

This can be booked either by scrolling down to the bottom of the booking form and selecting onsite accommodation (click the "£110" dropdown link to see where to select accomodation), or - we believe, if you are a ticket holder (!) - by logging into your personal Eventbrite account and adding rooms to your existing Britcon ticket.

Once this increased allocation is sold however, there will be no more rooms available through the University, and attendees will need to book their own hotels.

Given that the 1st August deadline is not that far off, who should I send it to before I head off to the states for the rest of July?

Half way there, ten lists in so far!

Britcon is now less than 2 weeks away, and with a record-breaking 337 players taking part so far (over 100 of whom are staying with us onsite), and almost 40 traders, demo games and event sponsors at the FREE-to-enter Britcon Trade Show we're looking well set for a cracking debut outing this year in Nottingham, at the Nottingham Trent University Conference Centre in the heart of the Lead Belt.

For this year's FoGAM event we've currently got the following high quality, stylish and good looking bunch of players signed up, and with more space than we can shake a stick at any additional players (ideally signing up in such a way as to give us an even number!) would still be exceedingly welcome:

Graham Briggs
Terry Shaw
David Morrison

David Fairhurst

Steve Murton
