Thank you gents for a good show and I really enjoyed the day. I hope it went well for you. The Demo game of the 2FL game Charlie Don't Surf was good fun and really well run.

Many thanks to everyone that came on Sunday and made it such a successful event.

A big thank you also to all the traders that contributed prizes for the charity raffle and to everyone that bought a ticket or made a donation. It raised £174.20 GBP which the Club are topping up to £225.00 GBP in aid of the MS Society. mssociety.org.uk

Everyone I spoke with seemed to have an enjoyable day. We even came close to having to ask people to stop playing some of the participation games so that we could start to clear the venue at 4pm!

See you all again in 2013.

Evening Holien,

Thanks for the kind words about the Charlie Don't Surf game! Did you get a chance to try out WWII-flavoured lard with the Crisis game run by the Lardies themseves in the gym?
