(first time attendee, as previous dates always clashed with a family event).

Just a quick note to those whose email provider is Comcast.  For reasons best known to themselves, this organisation has bounced all my emails regarding news about the Society Convention.

Notwithstanding, the Society webpage is up and running for those who would like further details and book their place.

Indeed Keraunos.

In that sense UK gamers are spoilt for games and trade conventions.

I am not quite as energetic at the start of my eighth decade as I was 50 years ago!

I shall investigate how far Great Missenden is from the venue.

Of course its two bus rides and then a train from Scarborough to get me to the York mainline station!!

So energy levels do not always match the challenge. (and public transport isnt quite as frequent as down south! My two eldest daughters enjoy access to multi options and service every ten minutes in their north and south London homes, my local bus is one an hour from 7.30am till 5.15pm Monday to Saturday and no service on public holidays, Sundays or evenings!! Thankfully I can still walk to a pub to get a beer or watch those mega stars of the Premier League .... LFC of course... oops I may have pressed the politics button....

Carl, we could I am sure organise a pick up from Great Missenden station. It's not far from the venue.

Happily I have been able to confirm dates for my next UK trip that will allow me to come to the convention again this year and my booking has just been made.

That's a bit hard on Steve.  There are special rules that apply to Australians.  I used to belong in a professional capacity to the Australasian Land Registrars Conference.  It met every year in Australia because my Australian counter-parts could not get permission to travel to other parts of the region (except NZ which they seemed to regard as counting as Australia).  I was never sure whether the missing permission was from their wives or from the government

Regrets, Nick, but I won't be back in time for Colours
