Theme Tournaments

[rbodleyscott]

I was just drawing up a list of currently available themes for FoG tournaments to send to the Warfare organisers, and thought it would be worth posting them here too in case anyone fancies organising one.

We have to get the above books finalised before more lists can be done.

Will FOG be available at Warfare?

Will we be able to get 3 more lists?

Have you decided to theme it or leave it open again?

Cheers

Simon,

Perhaps we should think about organising a 25mm competition before Xmas just to check it all works OK.

Go ahead Don, the ball is in your court.

Richard,

Do we not need permission from JD / Osprey before we can organise.

I don't think it would be too much trouble to arrange a comp at the Clevedon Scout Hut at the end of November / early December. We need approx 12 players to cover the costs of the hall.

Once JD has confirmed OK, I will canvas for players.

Go for it Don and I will hopefully dig out my big boys and come and play

With a year about to start, and FoG probably whizzing thru the wheels of a printers already, my thoughts have turned to wondering where and when I might get to play this game....

So far I have comps ion the UK only, and they are (AFAICS):

Usk - 26/7 Jan
Burton February 16th & 17th
Leeds Doubles - 22-23 March
Epsom Singles - 18-20 April
Oxford Doubles - 24-5 May
Britcon 15-17 August

Any more out there so far ??

[hammy]

I think that the Northern DBM league is branching out next year and will have DBM, DBMM and once it is published FoG. This is all depending on what players want.

I am not sure what is happening with Roll Call next year and there will definitely be some more rounds of the BHGS doubles later in the year.

Burton February 16th & 17th

Any more out there so far ??

There's also FoG meetings in Paris and Cannes the same weekend as Burton.

Why Feb 16/17 is so popular I don't know.

Rgds,
Peter

[madaxeman]
