My birthday is on the 26th so might be up for a bday night out with a few games of bloodbowl thrown in

[Valen]

BIG birthday night out

[Don__Vito]

As Stan's designated chauffeur I assume I have to attend this too?

[Valen]

Sweet as the post says, Geordies dont need to bring their heads lol

[robsoma]

Stick me down as interested Val, but only if you are going to take part in the special brew rampage per round one! Maybe that could get added to the rules pack?

Just a week before Ribble Rumble, at Preston Uni.

Really? I checked the NAF site and here for date clases the only I saw was Gert Bowl but as that is down sarf didnt think that was an issue?

[Valen]

NAF Approval now received

Hmmmm, interesting, but you HAVE to keep ON your clothes this time

[Pipey]

NAF Approval now received

No problem!

Put my down as a provisional attendee

PS - this has been 6 games previously, even though the other TS events are 5 games. Will this be a possibility again? I think 4 games may have been played on the Saturday.

If so we'd have to amend the NAF submission in advance of the date.

[Don__Vito]

If at all possible I'd vote to amend to six games too. I assume we aren't sticking to their schedule so shouldn't be an issue?

[Purplegoo]

I’m a possible for this. It was annoying to miss the usual great Manchester night out at the WB, and her indoors is away on this weekend. Seems a perfect storm to me, but TBC.

I’d vote for 4/2 on games (as I think this is the future), but I seem to remember at previous Toy Soldier events being hamstrung by all of the closing ceremonies having to be conducted together. I remember plenty of heel kicking and the Sunday just expanding to fill the space provided on a couple of occasions. If that’s still the case, you miss all of the benefits of doing a 4/2 (getting off by 3pm and having an evening if you’re coming from far away), and you may as well jam a third game in on Sunday.

Not being critical of previous TS’s, by the way, I enjoyed both that I attended.
