I enjoyed myself thanks. El Grande was great.
I’d be up for it if you did another one this year.

I live really close and I’ve somehow not made it to one of these. Next time for sure!

As long as receipts exceed outgoings once everyone’s paid, I will certainly do it again. Probably August-ish; the last couple of times we’ve wrangled dates in The Meeple’s Arms (forum section for frequent users) and then posted the decision here.
Also note Captbnut’s new title.

@Whistle_Pig I feel like I’ve forgotten something, is there another game that you’ve logged?
I think that’s a pretty good haul for an afternoon and a morning.

That was great fun! It was nice to meet some of you again, and just as nice meeting some of you for the first time.
I left with the hope that real fire service isn’t anywhere near as cynical as our Flash Point crew! I still feel a small pang of guilt for the dude we abandoned in the fiery basement because it was too much effort to rescue him. More so because he was still alive come game end, albeit unlikely to be around long enough to collect his pensioners’ bus pass…
Huge thanks again to Roger for organising. Hope to see everyone at the next one!

Shh. It was a mannequin. Definitely a mannequin, very sophisticated. It’s all okay.
Lovely to see you again and spend a day gaming with you

In the table lore, this was someone’s Internet fireworks business, and he was one of the orphans in the basement packing up the orders…

Also I checked the list and he hadn’t paid his fire protection money.

That’s a very Ankh-Morpork approach to the idea of a fire brigade…

Fairly true to life in many civilisations!
Its how Crassus made a lot of his money.
“I see your house is burning down there. Would you like me to save it?”
“Oh yes please!”
“Ok, Ill save it if you sell it to me for 1/10 of its value.”
“What!? That’s not fair”
“Fair enough” - watches house burn and ends up buying it anyway for even less.

Now you mention it, I do tend to boardgame like an Ankh-Morporkian, although I’m pretty sure Veterinari wouldn’t go for my singing…

Just finished adding up donations - we haven’t made a profit this time but nor have we made a significant loss, so I can afford to do it again. Thanks to all who were able to contribute.

Hi
Is another one of these events happening?
Thanks
I was hoping I could get some other admin in place which would significantly reduce the cost - but that doesnt seem to be happening right now. I’ll take a look at possible dates this week.
