I can now confirm attendance.

Does anyone have a wood elf team I could borrow for the weekend please?
This will complete the 24 for me. Nuffle only knows why I left them til last...

Also a bump for the dice bag found in my truck after the Welsh Open. Given the lack of replies I now suspect that it's Swedish in origin.

My new and revised prediction (using the 20 from the first post's paid/confirmed/interested list).

This is 100% accurate and completely forecasts the exact final standings of all attending this weekend.
The only way it could go wrong is if the moons of Saturn aren't exactly aligned with the rings of Uranus.

And, yes, I fully expect Itchen to end in top half even with half the games played :lol:

Yeah.. Bus/Bike to Didcot, train to Reading, train to Basingstoke and train to Andover. If all goes well then i should arrive in Andover at 9.00, so a trip that could be done in 45 min in car will then instead take like just over 2 hours, but it cost £19 for a return so not that bad again.
Are you staying in Andover, or will you be commuting each day?

If you want to, I can pick you up at Swindon train station on the Saturday morning (just realised that would be tomorrow) on my way down.

It's one hour's travel from Swindon station to the venue, so if we leave Swindon train station no later than 0930 we should be fine.

pm sent with my phone number if you need to coordinate.

Only if you want to be half an hour late for game 1/4.
