Anyone that has booked with the hotel can you let me know if you have any issues with the promised discount?

Though it appears they are fully booked it might be worth calling and checking in case their books and website are not synced, or if there are any cancellations.

Dear Speedbowlers,

My local crack (read: games) dealer (https://www.bagofholding.co.uk) is finally getting himself a shop (until now he's been internet only). I have said I'd like to bring my Exiles Tourneys to him but am booked up for this year.

I'm pretty sure the September open has people booked into the hotel already, so I wouldn't move that, but how would people feel about playing Speedbowl in a FLGS? The capacity would remain 26 and if I can't get you fed I will reduce the ticket price to reflect (though the chap has a deal with a cafe over the road where he hosts games nights, so we may be able to do catering still, just not on site (it would be about 50 yards over the road). If I don't feed you there is a vegan cafe next door, said cafe over the road, KFC and Tesco also visible from the shop and a whole host of eateries within 5 minute walk.

This link looks at the shop as it was a few years ago (the one that says Private shop). It's been a few different things over the years, last incarnation was an adult games and toys shop ;) If you move the view to the right you'll see Bournemouth Library and under the library is the aforementioned cafe.

What there isn't is parking that's free. Can't help that as this is town centre.


Thoughts people? FLGS or the Train? Whatever way we go I suspect we will be at the FLGS from 2018 on wards.

As I drive, my preference is always for free parking, so I would vote to stay at the train for this year.

I thought parking might be the decider.

I'm easy either way. Vegan cafe sounds good but then so does the train!

Slip me £15. I'll put you on the Saturday list and if it becomes a problem we'll sort it closer to the time.
