Europe - East Anglia (UK) tournament - interested? Indigo - Feb 22, 2003 - 04:27 PM Post subject: East Anglia (UK) tournament - interested?
I want to run a NAF sanctioned tournament in East Anglia, possibly using the Battle Bunker at Ipswich, or maybe a large hall in Cambridge. If anyone is interested, please email/PM me or leave a vote on here for your preferencelongfang - Feb 23, 2003 - 01:49 PM Post subject:
Hope you Angles wouldn't mind some West Saxons coming along. Slinky78 - Feb 23, 2003 - 02:36 PM Post subject:
Would provisionally be intereseted - cambridge much better.Deathwing - Feb 23, 2003 - 04:01 PM Post subject:
I think Cambridge has to be better for most...tractor boys and those arriving via ferry at Harwich aside...Darkson - Feb 23, 2003 - 06:35 PM Post subject:
Cambridge might be possible. Got a date in mind?Indigo - Feb 24, 2003 - 03:10 AM Post subject:
not yet, but because the BB is in march (less than a week!!) and the Bearded Snot in May, I figured July or August. Those months have the problem that many people are on holiday though... not that I think that would put off many devoted players though!
I've already managed to drum up some support for our store league from the GW store manager, and since a good few GW staff are into BB then we should have a reasonable level of support. might even be able to wangle some prizes out of them!
will need to think of a snappy name for it though
I had thought about naming it the Orca-Cola Cup, with the winner getting, amongst other things, a 2 litre bottle of Coke relabelled using an Orca-Cola image I've got
Any ideas? Something tractor/mustard/countryside related perhaps?Deathwing - Feb 24, 2003 - 03:38 AM Post subject:
July: It's the WPS BB GT on the 5/6th, and there's the Tulips Invitational a fortnight later on the 19th/20th. 3 in a month is probably one too many for me financially.Slinky78 - Feb 24, 2003 - 04:10 AM Post subject:
I see Deathwing's point, but from a personal perspective choice between WPS (bristol(?)) and Cambridge - cambridge is much nearer, so would be my preference. Plus 'invitational' sounds a bit exclusive for me. So I expect you'd still get interest from us not so hardcore plebs.Indigo - Feb 24, 2003 - 04:39 AM Post subject:
I still think spreading them out is a good idea, after all we're in no rush to fit them in before christmas or anything
I will use august for a preliminary month, and look round for places in Cambridge to do it, as well as talk to the manager at GW and the regional manager to see what involvement we can get from them (read: prizes)Slinky78 - Mar 04, 2003 - 03:48 PM Post subject:
Ok, sounds fine.
Enjoyed the bloodbowl so much I'm going to have to give serious consideration to this WPS thingy.
Get some nice prizes...maybe some limited edition sh*t looking coins?! Indigo - Mar 05, 2003 - 02:43 AM Post subject:
dammit you've stolen my plan
was going to get a whole load of 2p pieces, file them flat and sculpt a turd on them. After building up some anticipation I thought I could give you all one before you left...
How about the "Bernard Matthews Golden Drumstick Trophy"?Slinky78 - Mar 05, 2003 - 06:08 AM Post subject:
But who would have the balls to try and sell some sh*t like that for £400?!
My tournament attendance is being constantly buggered about by travelling companions and something about me never spending time at home. Hopefully make 2 more this year..help fuel my addicition.Indigo - Mar 05, 2003 - 08:57 AM Post subject:
well if the ECBBL run one in norrrfff landan (best cockney impression) sometime after July I should be able to make it... maybe even me and the rest of the tractor boysIndigo - Mar 05, 2003 - 08:59 AM Post subject:
and as for someone listing their coin for £400, hats off to that man! good entrepreneural instinct I say!
*ahem*

You could put it on a chain and add to your bling bling...Haggislad - Mar 06, 2003 - 06:33 AM Post subject:
Would think you could get some interest from us ECBBL boys if it was in Cambridge and didn't clash with the WPS or Tulip as I've been told they are must attend tourneys for some of us. Get a date in so we can organise to get there in force......Al_the_Trowel - Mar 06, 2003 - 06:45 AM Post subject:
Yep a second vote of confidence from the ECBBL - hammer out a date and I'll check my diary.Indigo - Mar 06, 2003 - 06:46 AM Post subject:
ok then, will get back to you lot next week, after I can confirm willingness with people from my side.Doubleskulls - Mar 06, 2003 - 08:23 AM Post subject:
I may be able to make it dependent on it not clashing with another tourney - but then real life may intervene.kalten - Apr 13, 2003 - 11:24 AM Post subject: 'Swarm' in Ipswich
I'm running a league in Ipswich at which most of the GW Ipswich store members will be in on - at the Gamming club 'Swarm'.
Thought you'd might like to know! Valen - Apr 15, 2003 - 05:09 PM Post subject:
I live in Manchester, but I will come down if you make it September!
Going to the Bearded Snot in May, and going on holiday in August!Elan - Apr 16, 2003 - 01:52 AM Post subject:
Indigo ... don't look now but your Avatar is wearing one of those sh*t coins around his neck!
Re the eBayer who had the $400 on the piece of drak - does anyone know what the result was? Seems like a good excuse for a socialist revolution when you see capitalism going ballistic like that
