Oxford road is your best bet if you are coming from Lancaster, otherwise Piccadilly.

Shane if you get off at Piccadiily, it is probably about 30 mins (including time to get to the bus).

If you get off at Oxford Road, there are bus stops across the road and it will be about 15-20 mins (including bus journey and wander up to the venue).

Probably best getting off at the university and walking down.

Polar Bear asked about accessing a Master Chef for an all snotling line-up. We decided (2-1) to allow it at 300K. I know the pack says only flings can access one. I hope this doe not affect anyone unduly. Sorry for the lateness of the information, but the query only arrived this afternoon.

If nyone is getting the train and is unsure how to get to the UMIC *cough*shaniepoo*cough* then I'll point out that I'm going by train too, and know the way.

If you want me to take you there then you will need to get off at oxford road station, and be able to get there for 9AM latest.

PM me before 7.45AM to let me know I need to wait for you, and once you get just outside the station doors there will be two guys (a big one in a viking helmet, and a medium one in a brown leather jacket) sat down with a sign (read: piece of cardboard) with the word 'gobbo' on it We'll be there from around 8.30AM. Once everyone who PMed me is there, we'll head down.

IF YOU DON'T PM ME, I WONT KNOW TO WAIT FOR YOU. Similarly, if you turn up much after 9AM then we may not be there (but we will do our best to hold on for stragglers)

I may not reply to the PM either, especially the ones sent after midnight by those of you who stay up late. But I'll read every one sent before 7.45AM and will wait for all those people.

Now you guys have got me worried! Looking at the map it doesn't look like more than half an hours walk from Oxford Road station to the venue, so I was just going to walk it. Am I being completely crazy? Multimap seems to reckon its less than a mile.

Michael, half an hour is plenty of time to walk there. Don't worry you will make it :)

My estimates for Shane were in case traffic is bad. Walking can be quicker than the bus on occasion.

You don't need to worry :)

Just read the rules, loving the fact that Undead can ressurect all killed opponents. I'll be packing my extra zombies just in case!
