Cheers to everyone who came this weekend, was a great event.
Will start planning for next year soon.
Any feedback on the venue would be great as if it's good we might be back there.

Will anyone ever dare to spam guard again after the grief Rubick got?

Venue was good and central, easy access for everyone.
Split room was interesting. They need ac in the other room, it was very hot and stuffy Saturday afternoon.

Parking was not an issue.

Food was good.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
Bribe level: good coffee.

Yeah, Rubick's a lovely chap who loves his dwarves. Seems he has thick skin though, to go with his Thick Skull.

I thought the venue was excellent, and next year would encourage gaming in the evening like NAFC, if the venue are happy for us to stay up there and drink copiously. Happy with the £3 a pint for random ales, especially given my £0 transport costs!

Great tournament, good fun, cake prize is great yum yum!

I thought the venue was fine and staying on the same site is really good.

I like the idea of playing something in the evening.

I had five great games which held my interest and were real challenges, then that. Ruined my entire tournament. Hope he had fun.

I am genuinely angry that anybody would bring that to a tournament.

If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.

Great venue (good value for an overnight stay), good food, good games and a good crowd - despite the lack of stunties!
I would definitely like to come along next year, also agree with maybe some evening games (copious drinking optional).

All the best.
