The student type accommodation at the Pendulum Hotel is open for business folks.  I booked yesterday at £42 per night including the excellent all you can eat breakfast.

I'm obviously challenged! Where can I find that ?

Cunningly hidden on the Britcon "venue and directions" page on the BHGS website...?

Even more cunning. It's a page that doesn't seem to load on an iPhone

The details of the hotels etc seem to load on the BHGS phone...

The website is build using Weebly, which is a web-based content management system so it "should" be mobile-friendly but we'll have a loko and see if there is anything odd on that particular page. 

Hi ray

Just email Natalie at WestonHall@iqstudent.com or Natalie.Keogh@iqstudent.com

Seemples.  See you there mate.

So OPEN or POST 1066 there seem to be a bit of discussion ...

I thought it had been concluded that is was 1066 and thereafter.

Alasdair said 1066+ on WATsapp earlier. List of allowable armies is on the link.

Will needs to Edit the first post on Britcon. It still says open all books !!!!

The info we have been given and posted on the BHGS website is as follows:

THEME
Any list from 1066 onwards (including armies valid in 1066) drawn from list sets : Arabia, Byzantine, Frankia, Eastern European Steppes, Holy Roman Empire, Crusades, Frankatoria, House of Osman, House of Valois, Kings in the North, Ostsiedling, Reconquista... and now Italian Wars

DURATION
All games will be 2hrs 45 minutes plus a 15 minute variable.

GAMES TIMING
Six game as follows:
Friday:     Rolling start from 6pm (or sooner if you wish), last start 7:30pm. Last bound called around 11pm
Saturday:     9.00am - 12.00, 13.00pm-16.00pm, 16.30am-19:30pm.
Sunday:     9:00am - 12.00, 13.00-16.00pm
​
​The Friday night game is played until time is called unless both players agree otherwise.
The Saturday evening game may start earlier if all 4th round matches are concluded early.

thats really short games

I agree. We have to standardise on 3 hours minimum. If not, army selection will narrow down.

IMO there is no need for a variable time bit for MeG. That was a thing back in the DBM day (and maybe other rules these days) when playing for a draw could make sense, not really an issue with MeG IMO.

If there is a 3 hour slot just play to 3 hours - that seems a good time for a MeG game in my experience.

Happy with that.

Good for players with lots of experience. I would not try that in Belgium and France . Most players need 3:30 or more as we play less games and less tournaments here . It's just a fact .
