XXXV Weekend

[dave3]

Some developements on the June weekend (which we will still have to pay the NEWMC for, committee!) I have been contacting local clubs to see if any of them would like to take part in the day, come along and play various games Vs our members, or with our members. Also contacted Henry Hyde from Battlegames mag, and Andrew Hubback from Mini Wargames. Henry seems interested, we may have some "old School" gaming for people to try, if he comes. I have also contacted our old friend Colin Wheeler, from Gamers and he would like to come along on the Saturday, with a few things from his shop, so any requests for board games? I have also asked Tom from Project Hydra, and I will see if he can make the Sunday with a few items.
We will need to start thinking about the games we will put on. As I askesd the Phoenix 8 over, we should have some AT43, luckily this can be done on 2 2x4 boards (use my new terrain!) so not much space needed there. Huntingdon yet to reply, but thier Crossfire game is always fun. Northampton and Rushden will probably just get involved in whatever games we plan, 40K, Warhammer, FoW. It would be nice to have some FOG, and Stephens usual Peter Guilder WW2, very visually pleasing! Maybe a 7yw game, and a Boardgaming and RPG area? I am sure with good planning we can maximise our limited space to the most efficient configuration. (so no plonking a big game in the middle of the room on that weekend please!) I t may be worth asking if it is possable to set up on the Friday night before, perhapse.

I was thinking of running a Call of Cthulhu RPG one off then, so an RPG corner would be appreciated.

Update. I have a reply from Huntingdon, they are bringing thier excellent "Crossfire" game. We have dabbled in this ourselves, but these lads are experts! open for players, and I recommend a good time if you play.
Also Colin, from "GAMERS" is bringing a small 6x4 tradestand on the Saturday we could put him over by the bar, perhapse? Awaiting confirmation from Hydra for the Sunday

As the representative from The Games Vault in Daventry - we have an active club playing all sorts of TT and RPG. Currently we are engaged in a Firestorm campaign with Warwickshire Wargamers and we have a Hordes/Warmachine league running. Some of us will be at MK and indeed The Games Vault will have a trade stand there. Also some of our members and WGamers members are good at Crossfire and other systems if that helps!

If there is anything you would like to get our input on feel free to let me know....cheers Nobby

Hope we can get some inter club stuff going sometime. We are intending that the first Sunday of the month is FoW Sunday in Daventry but the club itself runs 4 nights a week at the moment!!

Good to hear from you Nobby. People from our neighbouring clubs are welcome to come along. Just be aware that our venue is not very big, and we can only accommodate a certain volume of people, and tablespace for games is limited. To get round this, more inclusive games, where people from different clubs can play on the same game is encouraged, where possable. And size limited to a 6x4 table, mostly.
Cheers, Dave

and let him know, so as to bring it along.
Cheers,
Dave
