Come on people, Decar is doing us a big favour here by offering to organise a UK meetup! Let’s at least try to make his life easier by offering some feedback on the venue or other support...

I’ve had a quick look around their website and from what I’ve seen I think it looks awesome (although I may just be saying that because it used to be a custard factory and I’ve never played Carcassonne in a custard factory before [or indeed done very much at all in a custard factory]). So it’s a big :(y) from me!  :)

Birmingham works for me ^_^ he custard factory is a great venue although I haven't been to the game place there before. It's definitely not too much of a walk from new street so I think it would work well  :(y)

I contacted What land's Forge last week, but have not heard back from them yet.

So I decided to contact Shadow Games today (in Rugby) and they got back to me within an hour and said they can pencil us in on our October date and they'd happily host us for free.  An awesome response  :(y)

I'll with the forge a few more days; but how do people feel about travelling to Rugby?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you Decar.

Travelling up to Rugby is fine with me, but I'm not sure if the October date is going to work out for me anymore (sorry :-[). September and November are still OK, but we're now going to be having my son's birthday party on the 17th October and this isn't the sort of thing I can miss (or would want to if I'm honest, regardless of the alternative occasion).

If October still works out for everyone else then by all means go ahead with it! :(y)

Rugby isn't too far from Birmingham so should be easy enough to get to!

As for dates I'm still pretty flexible with them at the moment so if there are specific dates that work best for the majority then I can work with that.

Thanks for the feedback guys - It wouldn't be a meetup event without Dan, so I may ask them if they have some more dates free around our original October date.

31st October is currently free for me and should give me plenty of time to get some cheap train tickets for booking in advance!

Awesome, it sounds like 31st October is good.  I'll get back to them today to confirm:

Any other takers?

I feel like we should do some external advertising, any ideas who we could/should contact about Board Game events?

I'm going to hit a few random game shops.

Hi Decar and other peeps - I will have to play it by ear.  I am not sure if I can come at the moment but i will try.

Thanks for organising this though
