Thanks for checking this out Rich - I'd been meaning to drop them another line to ask

But not the most awesome.....

You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. At work I was named "Coolest person in my chair" 2006 - 2008 and 2010 - 2014, and I was a finalist in 2004 and 2009. (*)

(*) competition held primarily in my head

My question is who won the title of coolest person in your chair in your off years

I don't really like to talk about it. Suffice to say that it was a travesty and I made my feelings pretty clear at the time. Names were called. Eggs were thrown. Cars were scratched. That's the end of it as far as I'm concerned.

I have just booked my train tickets so will definitely be there! Checked and it's only a short walk from the train station which is perfect. Looking forward to it!

I'm just booking my train tickets now - really looking forward to it!

What stuff do you want people to bring along? I can bring along the base game with all of the expansions if needed. I don't have any spin-off stuff though, but I'd love to play some during the day.

Also, is anyone up for watching the Rugby World Cup final at 4pm? I assume there'll be a good pub nearby

Andrew the Ambo · « **Reply #56 on:** October 28, 2015, 03:36:31 PM »

I will be watching the game. Go the All Blacks.

Decar · « **Reply #57 on:** October 29, 2015, 01:38:31 AM »

Fantastic news! Glad you're all sorted.

I've not got any firm plans for the day, so open to suggestions. You're welcome to bring whatever you like. I've got various OCDs so will be bringing 3 copies of the base game, some mini-expansions, a crate full of gifts and prizes (thanks to kettle and Ailurus) and a bag of stuff i owe Dan.....and if I'm lucky some chilli-cheese-scones.

Would probably be good to have some expansions too.
We should have the room 10-5; I'm not too fussed about rugby now that Wales are out

But watching the Rugby world cup final in Rugby while Andrew is watching it at home does have some appeal.

No doubt we can find a pub with a table for some pub-carcassonne.

Any preferences on Spin-Offs? I was hoping Over Hills and Dales or Star Wars would be here, but it seems unlikely now.

I've got a copy of Discovery & New World I'd like to try too.

Also are there any fan-expansions you've wanted to try? I might be doing one more print run tonight - so could include some smaller expansions.
