Signups are now closed. I'll add any extra relevant info here. One thing I can say now, we need people to bring boards on the day!

No rosters required in advance. We'll just confirm your team at registration and get your first opponent to give it the once-over on the day.

We are planning to still come in from Ipswich via road and tube, as I've not seen an update saying the drop of in number has impacted the event going ahead we can assume its OK. But i will check back on here before we attend in case this changes.

Yep, we are very much still good to go and hopefully no travel issues for people now. Just to reiterate it would be very helpful if people could bring boards.

no there is plenty of space on the tables for the new board sizes and we expect to have enough room that people can play lengthways or sideways depending on their preference too

Very excited to be seeing everyone tomorrow. Please remember registration and introduction is from 915-945 with the first game starting at 945. Please allow plenty of time for travel as London will be London (maybe moreso this weekend).

If you have never been to the 7 Dials club before, the entrance on Earlham st is the one on the right of this pic:

Go up the stairs immediately past the entrance and you will soon find us on the first floor.

Please bring a board - if you or your opponent don't have one you're going to look a bit silly.
Remember we have a bar with hard and soft dsrinks and snacks all day but no food is provided. We are in the heart of covent garden, there are many many options nearby and you can bring any food you like into the venue.
