We'd be especially interested if it was _west_ London-ish, near the M4 somewhere. The further west, the better -- for us, at least. Phil

However, just in the interests of geographical balance,I shall pull your west request back towards the east (central London's as easy as anywhere).

I ran a club for WH, 40k, etc for three years and I am loathe to get that committed again. However, I think if the right location is found (and I am already investigating a venue) and enough dedicated souls are willing, a monthly meet of sorts is not impossible. An annual event require a lot more thought & planning (I know this for a fact - KILLJOY's :THE IMMACULATE CONVENTION in 1994 was pretty much my baby). It all depends on finance,interest, and timing. So, .. Assuming the dice came up 6's on everything and I organise it, are there any GM's out there who would be willing to give their all and run games ?

How would you go about publicising this? This list... ads in games shops... ads in magazines? What sort of attendance numbers are you thinking of? Or would it be a "get the London list members together in the back room of a pub and see what happens"? (I'm not objecting to this - in fact, I think it would be a good way to start, getting a core group of organisers together.) > Assuming the dice came up 6's on everything and I organise it, are Sure... FT/MT only, I haven't got into the others yet... Best,

I'm in Aldershot, so if it's in London, I'm looking at an hours travel time (by train - driving into London is _not_ my idea of fun), so it'd have to be a good long bash to make it worthwhile. OTOH, if people want it west of London, we have a hall we use for gaming in Aldershot (where the Alder Valley Gaming Society meets), and things are pretty dead at the moment, so plenty of room for a few FT games.

Well, I wasn't too keen on organising the event itself, although I thought it a JOLLY good idea, but now that you've bitten the bullet, I'd be happy to run a game or two and maybe act as an overall umpire(?)
