Got three rosters left to come over then we’re locked in.

Now only missing yourneverblockalone, Cornish and El_Spoonio.

Is anyone pals with Carsten Evans (yourneverblockalone)? He’s the only one I haven’t heard anything back from yet. 🤔

Rosters all checked, only three with errors that I've spotted, have contacted coaches to fix errors and should be able to share race pick data and skill choices by the end of the day.

As it stands at the minute, top pick is Block (shocker) and the lonely single-pick skills are Accurate, Disturbing Presence, Arm Bar, Monstrous Mouth and Strong Arm.

We have nineteen races in attendance, with none above five picks.

There are also bribes. Lots of bribes. The one I've given you clearly wasn't enough for several of you but, thankfully, others are bringing along Biased Referees to keep an eye on the game.

Hi all,

Due to train strikes on the 26th, it seems there might be a reduced service on the 27th. I was planning on getting the one and only early train from Trowbridge with my bike, so I can have a few beers at the event, but I'm not sure I can rely on it now.

I thought I'd ask, is anyone driving over from Trowbridge area...possibly Bath, and fancies me tagging along and sharing petrol money? If not, I can still get there ... I just don't want to drive. :D

Cheers!

A couple of people have messaged asking about boards. Bring ‘em along - too many is better than too few!

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.
Bribe level: good coffee.

It's a Sunday, so a lot of the nearby resident's parking zones won't be in force, or you can use the pay and display round the back of the shop.

If you use the car park behind the store, download the PayByPhone app and top up through the day, rather than paying for the entire day in one go - just make sure to set reminders so you don’t get stung with a parking ticket!

9:30am round 1 starts.

9:35am huge regrets on roster choice begin.

Hi all, as ever, Santa ruins everything.

Part of the road outside the store is closed, so head up Bath Road to access the parking, behind the store.

An alternate option is that it’s all clear to drive around the side streets to the Prospect Place car park.

Thanks for running once again Jip. Always a lot of fun. Great to see some different faces too.

Thanks also to all my opponents for 4 fun games.

Look forward to seeing many of you at the Welsh in January. There are still a few spaces available if you fancy heading west in the New Year.

I ended up with a Squad Chaos ball token and a Necromantic Horror Ghoul after this event. Please contact me if they’re yours and you want them returning.

Lunchmoney has also contacted me to see if a Leader token turned up. I didn’t have one handed to me but, if you’ve found yourself with an extra one, please contact him (lunchmoney_al on twitter) or myself.
