Thanks Nik

We have 15 tickets sold in total - can I assume that Will Denham and Hammy are replacing Ray Duggins, Alistair Harley and Lee Sanders?

I believe I am Ray, not sure who Hammy is being...

Yes.

Due to the way things have worked out there are more tickets sold than players    Tim Porter for the BHGS has been sent the list of players we have so I assume will be coordinating with you about table space required (7).

Yeah, it's me sorting out the table space, not Tim.

Thank you and good luck.

Thanks Lemmey.

Some further venue information:

A map of the venue is here:



I haven't decided where the tables are going to be, but annoyingly, you can see we are about as far from the bar as we can get.

There is a venue wide PA system that we'll be using for an opening speech just before 10:00 on Saturday morning to quickly cover H&S matters. This will be used for 40k announcements, but I don't consider that MeG will need to be announced over the PA, so I'll just leave you to publish the draw as normal.

Armies can be left overnight. If you are particularly paranoid, there are lockers that you can use for £1, but obviously there will be many thousands of pounds of stuff left at the venue and it is locked when we leave - at around 11pm.

There is likely to be high demand for food - especially during peak times betwen 13:00 and 14:00. There is a pre-ordering system where you can pre order food and collect it at a set time which would help.

The bar is open till around 10:30pm, there's not an easy pub nearby - so feel free to stay at the venue and relax, but there is an 11pm lock down.

There is an official awards ceremony on Sunday from 1730-1800. There are 500 banked seats and a stage plus space for 500 more to sit in front, so this should be a pretty impressive way to round out the weekend. I'm not sure if we are going to utilise this ceremony as we finish our last game at 16:30 and some people have a long way to travel. If you could let me know if you want to utilise this option that would be grand.

Raffle: There is an excellent raffle with thousands of pounds of stuff to win, this is drawn at the awards ceremony - see me if you want to buy an tickets.

Song and dance number for me then...

Are we allowed to bring my own butties?

Thanks for the info. I'll check but I suspect that as you suggest many of our players will want to get away not too long after the games end. I'd work on that basis unless you hear otherwise.

Yes, you can bring your own food into the venue.

You can't bring any alcohol into the venue.

Who is the main organiser for MeG?  i.e. who is doing the tournament organising?
