Waterbowl 2010 - February 20/21 Manchester - Sold out?

Post by Leipziger »

The next Waterbowl Weekender (our 5th installment ) will take place on the weekend of the 20/21 February 2010. The venue, thankfully, will once again be the University of Manchester Incubator Company building on Grafton Street (aka 'The Egg'). For those of you who were not able to be there this year, 'The Egg' turned out to be an exceptional gaming venue: spacious, air conditioned, clean and we were well looked after by the staff.

Check out http://www.umic.co.uk if you want more details about the location.

Naturally, we hope to offer the same quality of prize support, competition and atmosphere that we have enjoyed at our previous tournaments.

We will, of course, be running a stunty cup as part of the weekend. This year we had a whopping 9 stunty coaches. Can we match that next time out?

'Beat Brendan'

In 2009 Brendan Spencerlayh (Pippy) lost his title, but still didn't lose a game (That makes it at least 18 games since Brendan lost at the Waterbowl).In recognition of Brendan's wonderful achievements (nobody else has managed to defend the WB title or go undefeated for 3 years!), we have decided to put a bounty on his head! The first person to defeat Brendan will get a prize (thanks to Bren for sportingly agreeing to this )


IMPORTANT


- If you want to park at the venue, please pm me or post here with your car make & licence plate

- UMIC have said that we can't have any alcohol on the premises.




Waterbowl & Watermonkey Prices:

The price to enter this year's Waterbowl is:

Price:£20 (NAF), £25 (Non-NAF: price includes NAF membership).


However, if you are looking to attend both the Waterbowl & the Monkeybowl (date tba), then you can take advantage of the Watermonkey Discount. What's that, you ask? Well, it means that you can get 12 great games of blood bowl and enjoy two of the UK's best tournaments for:

£27 (NAF), £32 (Non-NAF: price includes NAF membership)

The Waterbowl has a paypal account, so people can send payment whenever they are ready

Go to http://www.paypal.com and pay your entry fee into the account: waterbowl@hotmail.co.uk

Please can you include your NAF Name and Number when you send your payment through, please (if you are a NAF member, of course).

If you do not have a paypal account, pm me and I will give you an address to send cheques/cash.

IF YOU ONLY WANT TO ATTEND THE MONKEYBOWL, PLEASE SEND PAYMENT TO BRENDAN :)

Rulespack and schedule will be posted asap.

Wishful thinking from the Puggster, eh ;) ?

I'm more than happy for there to be some Dusty on the CD :)
