We're booked for 31st October - http://www.shadow-games.co.uk/welcome/

I'll let you know what the times very soon & get a proposal for the day's schedule.  Anyone got any thoughts what they want to see/do?

Cheers for organising this Decar. Just out of interest, during your discussions with Shadow Games to arrange this, I don't suppose they mentioned the free parking incentive from Rugby Town Centre did they?

It looks like we might be able to get 4 hours of free parking at a nearby car park - see http://www.shadow-games.co.uk/freeparking/ and http://rugbytowncentre.co.uk/freeparking for more details, but I wouldn't want to take advantage of this if it was for customers only (or whether it's expired). Not to worry if not, I can always contact them but didn't want to hassle if they'd already mentioned it. Cheers.

Good spot Rich, I'll ask them when I email  them next.

It looks like the 4hr things are ok and we can use more than 1 if/when needed.  There's a multistorey near-by so I don't think we'll be taking advantage.  Undoubtedly, some of us will buy something when we're there (even if it's just coffee).  They've been really supportive so far!

So I'm thinking of things everyone could do to prepare for our big day, it's not long now, only 2 months.

I'm putting together a loose schedule for the day:

Mini-Expansions
I'm working on some mini-expansions to be played with the base-game at the Carcassonne Meetup Event.  I won't be giving anything away until the day.  If you're thinking of coming, perhaps you can think of a mini-expansion too.

Challenges
I'm also putting together some challenges for the day; again I don't want to give too much away, but feel free to think of some things or share them.

Bake-Off
I'm also considering a Meeple Bake-off - a challenge to bring the best meeple cake to share on the day.

I've not taken any inspiration from this blog:

Only 32.5days until the First UK Meetup - Every week, I'll be trying to share some sneak-peeks of the event.

Tonight I will share some images of the exclusive fan-expansion I have been working on.

Start thinking if you'd like to put one together to share on the day :)

Hi Decar,

Just to let you know that Piklach and I are planning to attend and looking forward to it.
Not sure we'll have time (or the skill) to prepare much for the event though - hope that's ok?

Cheers.

It's great to hear you're coming Rich & Piklach!  I wouldn't underestimate your skills; I suspect most of the expansions I'll be bringing will be rough and ready!

As promised; here is a small clue for one of the expansions:

..better late than never.  I know I seemed to have replaced the l with a capital-U ... must be my accent.

I've updated the poster now, just hadn't posted it here:

Basically Wooden - http://www.basicallywooden.co.uk/

Will be attending the meetup - They're bringing prototypes and if you're thinking about placing an order you might be able to pick it up there and save on postage :)

For those who are travelling by car to the meet up on Saturday, Neill at Shadow Games has very helpfully recommended the following:

The cheapest place to park for the day is opposite the council house on Evreux Way, Rugby CV21 2DT. It is about £3.50 a day and is open for 24 hours. Failing that then I would use the John Barford car park, CV21 2SL which is £5 for up to 11 hours. Both of these are less than a five minute walk to the shop.
