Just so everyone knows:

I will be attending the UK Caracassonne Championships - I'm quite excited as I have never done anything like this before!

...also I have some gifts for any attendees from the forums, but more information to follow....  8)

Really looking forward to this event. I'm playing games until late the night before so I should be hangover free for the tournament. Will the lucky winner be the only one to receive the contents of the package or is he going to surprise all of us with it?

I seem to remember there being something to do with "aprons"?  O:-)

In any case, it will be good to meet with one of my Carcassonne heroes!

Is this the first time you'll have taken part? Looking forward to meeting you there!

Hi Dan,

I was at the Expo 3 years ago last time (I think). The tourney was fun but really odd as the highest scoring players went through to the second round regardless of whether they won so you had the odd arrangement of players conspiring to share huge cities so they could all gain lots of points. Madness!
Do you look like your Meeple?

My real name is Geoff Thirlwell in case anyone wants to say hi

Hi!  :)

I read about this on a blog somewhere. I'm glad I wasn't involved that year, it doesn't seem like a sensible way to run a Carcassonne tournament at all!

Yes I do look like my meeple although you'll be able to recognise me (I hope) as I'll be wearing a "Power to the Meeple" t-shirt like this one: http://www.meeplesource.com/proddetail.php?prod=MP08-m (but in green)

I'm really disappointed to be missing this - I'm away that week :(

Good luck everyone, looking forward to hearing how you get on!
