Huge thanks to Alex for the time and effort involved in organising such a behemoth and all opponents for 6 tight games. Gav for stepping into the breach and helping out Alex. Also to Mark for the sterling work on the legacy team.

Thanks to all the attendees to the dog race, hope everyone enjoyed it. The taxi driver was most impressed with our behaviour.

Another thoroughly enjoyable Waterbowl! The venue was bloody freezing on the Saturday but luckily all those sweaty X-Wing nerds warmed it right up on the Sunday.

A big thank you to Alex for running things and to Nick for arranging the night out.

The Waterbowl was also my first tournament for Blood Bowl and a good time was had even if my performance with my Orcs was terrible.

Thanks to Alex and everyone else who helped with putting on the event.

Any chance of the final rankings being posted, I want to see where my 4-0-2 finish landed me?

Post to follow soon with some stats etc, as well as final standings (Verbal, I'm pretty sure you were 4th but will confirm obvs)

Huge thanks to everyone who came and made it a fun weekend. Brilliant to see so many familiar faces return, along with a whole bunch of first timers.

I'm glad to see others have already thanked the majestic Nipples for his legacy team work, and Nick for sorting out the trip to the Dogs, both of whom were missed in error from the speedy wrap up at the end of Sunday.

Thanks again to Gav for keeping an eye on things whilst I recuperated on Saturday, not to mention Ringbeard & Björn for getting me home on Friday night :o , and also Lycos for the lend of his voice at some key points.

A couple of stand out moments for me as an observer were:

-Brio's sheer joy at nailing his first win with flings.
-The tension as Geoff tried to pull off a one turner to prevent Nick taking the title.
-The culmination of bloodbowl's politest rivalry, as Mawph saw off MonkeyTrumpet in rd 6 after taking several rounds of ribbing :D


I'll send the file to the NAF & to Brendan tomorrow, as well as sorting out the NAF membership renewals for Vagabond & Yojimbo.

Oh, and Ruthy improvising and playing with elastic bands until Mike emerged on Sunday morning! :D

Results have gone to Mike, and I think they're up now.

I've renewed Vagabond, Caesar-22, Mawph + registered Volkmair.

If I've missed you off, let me know.
