Great time was had, and given it was my first tourny, meeting a bunch of folk I'd only known from t'interweb and not getting murdered has to count as a result.

Thanks to Andy for the event, great place and was really impressed with the fine vege food. Just a shame you rolled that Blitz and broke goblin hearts! :-p

Will seriously consider returning next year if it's the same venue :-)

Awesome weekend thanks guys. After a bad start to the tournament things turned round and 4 blitzes in my last 2 games meant i came way with a 3-0-3 so happy. Skuttlespike was just awesome (although he cost me 2 draws by failing 2+dodges for the TD and took me out of the most TDs game), with be using him again at the NAFC. Thanks to everyone i lost to and i beat :) Will be looking to come next year but with a wedding 2 months after its a bit in the air. Highlights of the weekend - Alex teaching me, Northen Knight and Silly Sod how to dance (all you need is an invisable towel), coming higher than NoNumber (all ways a good point), and the looks on peoples faces as i called blitze and then ran 5 gutter runners into the ball. LoL

Top wheelchair friendly venue..... :D

Great atmosphere, good food, reasonable bar prices ( although the only cider was strong bow *shudder* )

Great weekend of socialising, not so great results.

Will be back next year.

Many thanks to all involved.
