I'm hoping Erik will write an account of the US con. I'm exhausted and just finally off to bed, but the barest facts - Matt and Alexis are still here, but everyone else has departed. The con had 31 attendees, including 5 locals who acted as staff as well as playing- Lloyd, Kev, Lorna, Luke, Tom and CJ.
Many thanks to Atlas Games for their immense generosity in assisting us, and to all the delegates who represented between them Japan (David Chart), France (Fruny), Norway (Hakon and Leif), USA (Matt Ryan & Alexis) and the UK (many...)
We played many games, but special thanks to Simon White, Camo Coffey, Mark Shirley, Neil Taylor, Sheila Thomas, Tom Nowell and Matt Ryan for running games for the delegates pleasure, or offering to in Sheila's case, and to Andrew Sceats for his very popular card game which I sadly never go tot see (housework called!)
We achieved exact break even on running costs, to within a pound or two profit, and raised £274.28 for the International Red Cross and RSPCA. This may increase by a few more pounds if a couple more people get their t-shirts late, making the total t-shirts produced 32, including ones to be sent to John & michelle Nephew as a thank you.
I'd like to thank everyone who came, Erik for the excellent live link up with GT (USA) which I hope becomes an annual event and our Guest of Honour David Chart, and John & Michelle Nephew for making it all possible. Next year will NOT be Cheltenham probably, and plans are affot.
Full report tomorrow.
