    Yeah, heavy snow forecasts at midday on Tuesday for both here and Burton, so going to have to see what's happening tomorrow morning and make a judgement as to whether it's viable to drive over... :(

    Is there a thread for signing up for games in advance? Do we even need to do that?

       Thanks to everyone who helped out when we had our temporary relocation, without the help of everyone mucking in things could have gone south quick. Thanks to all the extra help we managed to setup 2 halls and end up only being about 40-60 minutes behind normal start time. Seeyou all next time..... 
    •  Was a great day and cryptmaster was awesome even if it did take us a few hours to work everything out!! 
    • The Mighty Quinn (titter...titter)
       A mere 8 hours on the mighty Cryptmaster still left it incomplete. My early lead was soon whittled away by the need to wipe out various Pariahs, but definitely one to try again. To bank or not to bank.....bit like The Weakest Link, really. 
    • Johnno (+1 guest)
       Great venue, gamers, irritatingly tempting games shop nearby - nothing else required 
    • Peter (+2 guests)
       Great game of Tomb, cryptmaster. Shame I had to leave early, god knows how long the others kept going. 
    •  Absolutely top banana! The epic Cryptmaster game was very enjoyable (even though the other players all started to pick on me at the end -- can't fault that, though, as I'd have done exactly the same had the positions been different). This was the first Raiders we'd (the Melton crew) been to, but I suspect we'll be coming again. Great stuff :)
