Hi everyone

I'm here to offer my services if anyone needs a partner or am happy to pair up with someone who hasn't entered if we can squeeze in late.

Just had my contact arrangements changed with my son so I can make a few events this quarter.

Well I know of at least three 'teams' that were fighting over one spare player. It will be interesting to see who bites first :D

Always less bad in Usk than in the surrounding countryside.

You may recall many years ago it snowed on the morning of Godendag. I thought that the tournament would be empty, but in fact everyone turned up except 1 team from Belgium.

I do remember that year indeed... it was all a bit touch and go!

I'm not sure if its better for all the snow to melt and suffer travelling through the gloucester floods!

Well, lets see what the next week brings! :)

Depends whether I have all the army lists by then.

I will say that the Empires of the Dragon theme is proving very popular - nearly 2:1 compared to the Knights theme.

Not sure. I will update the database tomorrow and see if any are still outstanding. At least 1 that I can think of off the top of my head - sadly I don't have an e-mail (or even snail mail) address for them so I am relying on their (Burton) team-mates to shove a rocket up their arse.
