We definitely won't go next year, it's not worth eight hours
driving to meet half a dozen players and sell three start-ups! Our
Phildee weekend was a week afterwards and we had 36 players come
despite us being in a very inaccessible part of mid-Wales. Steve
Tierney says that Madhouse will still go next year, but I can't
see Time Patterns / Flagship coming all the way from Exmouth. I
reckon next years PBM turnout will be down to PBMzine and
Madhouse. Actually it will clash with our own weekend next year,
and I don't think there's much doubt which most of our players
will prefer to attend!

BTW, have you heard about this Global Games thing - sounds like you
need to make some enquiries!

Cheers,

Phil
