Real life has conspired to fart in my mouth at the last second and i wont be able to make it :(

Many apologies and obviously i wont be expecting any kind of refund. Gutted as ARBBL was my first ever BB TT game and I've been every year since, still appreciating the irony that I first heard of BB TT from Simon, advertising on the Cyanide website he spent years trolling :P

That is a real shame Robin is it a transport issue as I am staying at my parents and could give you a lift up?

I have a new scale puzzle board, will it fit on the tables or do I need to think about bringing an alternative?

Think about bringing an alternative. It will fit with an overhang, whether you want to risk it is your call.

(Long-story short - Unfortunately the larger tables 'disappeared' when the scout group had a dodgy person in charge, along with tents, the tea urn etc etc.)

Just as a reminder:

It's at the original ARBBL venue, not the one used for the Pick'n'Mix.
There's plenty of parking, but please use ALL the spaces, not just the ones at the front.
As per the rulepack, no alcohol at the venue, we don't have a license. One thing Andover does have is local pubs. ;)

If it helps I can pack ten of the old GW boards so you know we are covered. No harm in leaving them in the car if not needed.

Almost a perfect 2 days of enjoyable (but not successful) bloodbowl. 5 fun games showing just how Nuffle loves to f*** halflings over and one game of just pure shyte (Chorfs are not fun for flings).

Sorry for leaving early but earlier train meant getting home before 10pm.

Thanks to Skaffen and Co for the organising and to all my opponents (including you Fatboyslimming :D ).

Same again next year ? Not flings though unless GW come up with some real fun stuff for the new versions).

Cheers

Once Skaffen has settled and sent the score file to me I'll do the NAF upload (unless he takes a crack at it himself) and update the SWTC.

Terrible days l Saturday for me; my head was totally not in the right place. Deciding on slann at 2 in the morning was not a good time/idea.... :lol;
