it's in the middle of nowhere!!!!!...London can be reached easily by plane and has a decent subway system.
and I agree with Juergen....I'm not as "big" as Juergen, but for tall people it sucks as well...ever since I went to BB 43, I have pain in my upper legs from the cut blood circulation from sitting at these tables |

I blame the low tables for all my losses at the BB. 
I think I spent more time trying to unjam my legs from under there than anything else. |

Warhammer World is a pain to play in unless they agree to remove their crappy tables and chairs.
And i'd second that Nottingham is a pain to reach. No decent airport nearby, 4h bus trip from London ... |

| Those are valid concerns about warhammer world. We're going to look into a different venue right in the London area. It will almost certainly cost more though. What is the priority of the two? A cheaper ticket price or a more convenient & more comfortable venue. Obvously the best of both world is the desired outcome but if it comes down to a choice what's the general preferance? |

Suggestion. I wonder about the venue for the Spiky tournament in Reading?
Several advantages:
1) It'd be a lot cheaper than London, accomodation wise as well. (Plenty within walking distance of venue).
2) It's a big enough room for our needs, with bar.
3) About 1.15 train journey, direct link from London Gatwick airport. About 30 mins from London Paddington railway station. Venue is walking distance from Reading station or a short taxi ride.
4) Attached kitchen, at the Spiky there's a lunchtime meal included in the ticket price, providing a meal could be a possibility.
5) Plenty of nightlife, pubs, clubs etc for the evenings.
6) Proper tables and chairs.
Worth considering. |

| The place sounds interesting Woody. What type of place is it? Is it a hotel or just a hall? I think the ideal place would be a hotel that can handle us all in one place. No traveling from venue to hotel will be a big convenience and the savings in time and extra travel expenses would be significant. |

since the NAF WorldCup is played every 4 years I think I would rather pay more to have a nice tournamant AND location rather then cramping up in WH World.
Hey, it's every 4 years, I think you can save the extra costs sometime within the time span... |

about the team selection
are you planning to 'enforce' any rules or will you let each country sort it out themselves, within certain parametres for example ?? |
