TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

Hi everyone, not long now!

We wanted to let you know about a little project we've been keeping up our sleeves

Eurobowl is a fantastic mish-mash of the best, weirdest and most diverse Blood Bowlers on the planet, and we think that's worth celebrating!

We've asked @MikeRushbyPhotography (aka GrumpyMaestro from Scotland) to help us out with this, and he'll be taking quick portraits of people throughout the event.

He'll be set up in a corner of the venue and will be happy to shoot folks during registration and lunch on both days

It takes literally 30 seconds, so please pop along and support this project!

Also, while I know most of your pocket money will be spent on beer, don’t forget we’ll have some trade stands for you

Whitefoot 3D will be there and have something special to offer

4th Quarter Football will be displaying their excellent game

The Thrud guys will have their special charity wares on offer

The Dornbirn World Cup team will be selling T-shirt’s and posters

Tabletop Republic will have a range of Blood Bowl miniatures, dice and games for sale. I heard a rumour they may have something fast and orky on offer too...

Great organisation Team Wales, and thanks to all the refs and back stage team. Great tournament and super venue.

Thanks to my six super opponents for some marvelous games of Bloodbowl.

Hopefully see you in Poland!

Did anyone get any nice pictures of the main room?

Didn’t get to play in it very much over the weekend and just wondered what it looked like. :lol:

Fancy an actual one-dayer? Check out The Coffee Cup.

THANK YOU Organizers, I talked to a few of you during the event but thanks are in order for everyone. I know that a lot of work went into running it, but you guys made it look easy!

My only complaint had nothing to do with Eurobowl, it was a mistake by my hotel. During Breakfast on Saturday morning, I grabbed a few packets of what I thought was Margarine. It was actually some kind of industrial chemical agent called "Marmite" which a hotel worker had mistakenly placed together with food for human consumption. Awful mistake and it ruined an otherwise perfectly good slice of toast. My god was that a fugly taste.
