ARBBL Open 2017 11th/12th February 2017 - Besters wins

[Darkson]

Down the hall again, board/card games as people bring them (hoping some of the non-playing ARBBL members will come down).
People can order pizza or other take-aways in, or go out and get them. Unfortunately the main chinese we always went to is closed (for good).

Obviously, if people want to do other things then it can be played by ear.

(Attendance list to be updated later.)

Enjoyed the board games last year

Agreed, the board games were fun, apart from Fluxxxxx ofc :p Hopefully i can stick about again to play some, and eat my own bodyweight in takeaway, but we shall see.

Flux has that effect. If it's not over in 10 minutes, just quit.

I shall pack a couple of classics.

One of our games of Flux lasted what seemed to be 20mins. And that was all Nobby who won on his first turn!

I really like to go, but struggling finding a reasonable way to get to it from Abingdon on Thames (without having a car)

[Glowworm]

Sorry buddy I'm out, swap around at work and someone already off.

[Darkson]

At this rate an ARBBL member might finish in the top 20!

With the low numbers I won't run the Pumpkinbowl game, unless the bottom 4 after round 5 request it.

Can't help you there.
Only way I see is bus to Oxford, train to Reading, train to Basingstoke than train to Andover, but I'd imagine that with 3 trains and a bus ride it would be a) expensive, and b) late.


Anyone looking for local places to stay, the Travelodge in Andover is now open: https://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/618/Andover-hotel
It's on the outskirts of town, near the Premier Inn/24hr McDonalds, just off the A303.


And not that it looks like it's going to matter, a recce of the hall seems to show they've got rid of a lot of the tables, so I would have to limit this to 30 all of a sudden. Most years a problem, this year, not so much.

ddark tells me he has paid and I am poking one other who was interested, Jack (local to me and keen to play but a bit unreliable due to unusual work).

[Itchen Masack]

Any kind person lend me a Fling team for the saturday please?

[Darkson]

Will double-check with Moodygit to see if was planning on using his.

[besters]

Let me know, if needed I can bring one!
