[Note: For those that haven't this is not a hint to submit your races!]

So far I've received 14 of the 26 races for the weekend (including mine) and there is only one person whose declared they're using a race with a ranking greater than 150.

Powergamer! ;)

8 will be the first time the player has used that race at a NAF tournament, and (at least) 4 people will be attending their first NAF event.



And scoreboards arrived safely (no thanks to MyHermes! :evil: ).

Sadly not going to make it, however I have learnt that trying to attend a BB tournament at the other end of the country on your wedding anniversary can cause an issue.

With this in mind - do you have some spare '29mm square' boards i.e. do you want me to stick 1 or 2 extra old size boards in my bag?

I've got a couple here or there, I don't think we'll be short, but if you want to stick a couple in your bag that would be great.

I was going to ask if I could take Khorne or Brettonian but thought better of it! But you're right, I could have said nothing!
