For those of you who may be in Brisbane, Australia at the start of May this
year you might like to drop into the Auran BIG Weekend, Queensland's premier
gaming event.
The Convention will run from May 5th to May 7th and for the first time ever
will feature a Full thrust Tournament! For more details on the Full Thrust
tourney please visit:

Also, on the final day of the tourney I will be running a Stargrunt II
"Come-and-Play" Demo. All miniatures, scenery and rules will be
supplied. For more details on the demo, please visit:

No, we're sorry, we will NOT ignore this message. We WILL remember, and
expect piccies!!! ;->=
I must say, your descriptions indicate you've a) been thinking long and
hard, and/or b) been checking plenty of other sites. Well done!
> From The Big Weekend Site:
***
The ABW came about through a brief history, starting in 1998, when the
Queensland government awarded a grant of $6000 for a local games club to seed
a new convention that was to represent all genres of
popular table-top gaming.
***
Did my mouth drop! I can just imagine getting that kind of money out of the
State of Nebraska. And, yes, I'm aware those are Aussie dollars. ;->=
***
Amnesty International
Overall, the convention raised approximately $3000 for Amnesty and remains the
second largest annual source of funds from a single event for Amnesty
Queensland.
***
Benefit tournaments and even whole cons (I'm certain there are many others
besides Denver's BenCon, the one I know) are not unknown in the US, but that's
obviously an effort worthy of high praise!
Keep the rest of the world informed.

Well then. I guess I'll have to get a hold of a digital camera for the weekend
then! I'll do my best to get pics taken and posted to my website.

Aww shucks <Blush>. Thanks for the feedback. I've taken an board all the
experiences I've had playing both FT and SG2 and used them to try and run a
worthy event for each game. I'm actually hoping to draw in a couple of 40K
gamers and show them what a REAL wargame is made of! ;-)

This is one of the tings that makes me proud to support the Auran BIG Weekend.
Not only do I get to play the things I lvoe to play, I am also
supporting a worthy cause.
> Keep the rest of the world informed.
We'll do our best!

Perfect timing, I will be in town then and I really hope to be in the
stargrunt game. For some reason I seem to do more gaming when I am away from
home than when I am home. hope to see you there
