Re: ARBBL Open 2018 - 24th/25th March, Andover, Hants.

Hall is 99.9% confirmed, but a small wrinkle has appeared.
Since we used it last (October?) they've got a permanent Sat morning booking, so we probably won't have access to the hall until 11am, most likely for a 12pm start (table set up, waiting for Lycos to decide a team
).
Assuming that ends up being the case, there's two options:
#1 - finish later on the Saturday night (which would be open games night as in the last few years), probably 7 to 7:30pm as I'd shave some time off the lunch. Would also mean I'd want races in advance (Friday) so the round could start ASAP.
#2 - go to 5 games total (2 Sat, 3 Sun) with a price drop.
Either works for me, as I'm local and would be staying to lock the hall up anyway, so I'd like your input please chaps (and chapettes).
In better news, the gent that contacted me about the hall has seen our FB page's post about losing the venue and is going to ask the committee if they'd be agreeable to us using the hall for a club night (which we were told earlier this year wasn't possible, and slightly less agreeable times and costs, but better than nothing), so ARBBL might not be dead yet.
