Time for me to do some serious grovelling to my better half ...

[MarcP]

Unfortunately I won't be able to take part. Got to fetch my daughter back from University that weekend ...

Hope it goes well

National Express coaches?

Tempting - but she has to clear the room ....

Four of us coming up from Clevedon. Really looking forward to it.

Hopefully the heating in the pub will be up to the job, as forecast is very cold.

Don,

They've refurbished the inside of the skittle alley over the summer, so we'll see how good the new insulation is over the weekend. It certainly looks better.

Oh and don't lean on the tables too much, they've done away with the old 4 leg tables and replaced them with two central legged tables; nicer looking but sadly less practical for the average wargamer as we tend to lean across on to the table...

Steve,

Are you trying to say that wargamers of a certain age may need extra support

Just read the weather forecast and I dont think its cold that will bother us, more likely floodwater!
Looking forward to the weekend

This was my first FoG competition of any sort, and I enjoyed it. Happily the sequence of games ran: 1) narrow defeat; 2) crushing defeat; 3) narrow defeat; 4) crushing victory. Everything went right in the last game, to end the weekend on a high note. Thanks to Keith for organising the event, and to all my opponents (Steve, Lance, Paul and Colin).

What a cracking weekend. Thanks Keith for organising this. I really enjoyed the weekend. Good gaming with a good bunch of people. And a fantastic venue, with good beer and food. Did I mention the beer? What a good weekend, thanks a lot Keith

Just a quick note to say thanks to Keith for another great weekend.

Lesson of the weekend, try a new army before you play with it in a comp

Thanks everyone for four great games.
