http://www.bhgs.org.uk/bhgs-doubles--pairs.html for booking information

Currently we have only a smattering of bookings:

Will & Pete
Nigel and a TBC (if he can find a friend)
Dave (Fairhurst) & Alasdair

As the venue is shared with a (pretty popular) Flames of War event it would be good to see bookings coming in from those who plan to attend, as otherwise we are getting close to being "full" for FoW, which will lead to pressure on tables allocated to FoGR

We have places for 8 teams in total,

Looking forwards to this one!

Please add to your list:

David Hewkin & Brendan Morrissey

Paul Marsh & Kevin Smith

We should be booked in officially within the next couple of days (I've just come back from holiday and one of the other pair is away at the moment).

Phew! Thats 5 teams then, one more needed to make up the 6...

Be nice to get 8 pairs though. We had 12 last year, IIRC (I should do, as I was 12th - unless that means I was really, really, really bad........).

yup, 12 last year - however with a few holidays this year taking some of the regular teams out, and FoW booking much more quickly we have room for a max of 8

Paddy and Jerry Bray are going to enter as a team.

Bob

Just registered the two teams from Wessex Wargames Society, so you're up to 5 pairs now (3 tickets left as of this moment).

Bob: "Nigel and a TBC (if he can find a friend) "

Don't you mean victim

Glad I'm already booked... Was about too...

That's me and Gordon registered.

I suppose it's possible Gordon had already registered us, but with such a very small possibility I'd rather double book than miss out.

Jerry Bray has had to drop out so Paddy is looking for a partner for the Doubles.

Bob

One of our chaps (Kev Smith) has had to drop out, so Paul Marsh is trying to contact Nigel Emsen to complete a pair. What are the rules on refunds, as I've paid for two teams from WWS and now there'll only be one?

(Nigel - If you're reading this, Paul is trying to contact you; also, we're having a practice game at WWS on September 13, the day after Colours if you want to join us.)

Hi Ronan, Paul all confirmed as team member with Bob.

Transfer window is busy isn't it!

Good thing Pete and I are third division (or maybe conference) players and no one wants us!

I think the runners and rider are now:

Will Denham Pete Simpson MKWS
Nigel Emsen and someone else Solent Quick Play Rules
David Fairhurst Alasdair Harley Oxford Witney
David Hewkin Brendan Morrissey Wessex Wargames Society The Double Ones
Paddy Bray and someone else Oxford The Brothers Now Quite So Grim As They Were Before
Dave Allen Gordon Jamieson Central London Mercenary, but cheap

Paul & Kevin's entry has been refunded, and no-one called Bob has entered as yet...

Nigel has very kindly agreed to take me under his wing as opposed to the phantom Bob.

Paul

If it stays at six pairs, and we started early enough to get three games in on Saturday......

7 Pairs so far

one more would be great make it nice and easy

cheers

Alasdair

Upto 8 pairs I am reliably informed

should be a great weekend

take care

Alasdair
