Akhrin 576 Posted April 22, 2016 Admirals Snack-Bar and Evening BB8-Q May the forks be with you at our dedicated event cantina serving many popular sweet/savoury Star Wars snacks and drinks throughout the day. The Death Star Donuts and Ham-Solo rolls are a particular favourite. For this alone I'd be tempted to make the trip down from Scotland. That's some Big Bang Theory level snack naming on the go. 1 Lyraeus reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plagueis 211 Posted May 9, 2016 Very much looking forward to this event and the BB8-Q.. might have to sneek off down the road for a pint after if anyone is up for it and I can talk my driver in to relaxing with a coke for an hour before heading home. 1 54NCH32 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plagueis 211 Posted June 11, 2016 Fantastic day out as always run by such a warm and friendly group... Free tea and coffee all day and a bacon roll on arrival.. And a very cool bunch of players which resulted in a nice lunch time beer as the pub!!! Also cool to see 22 different lists, showing how healthy this game is.... Can wait for the next event... 2 Lord Preyer and 54NCH32 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
54NCH32 1,613 Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Was great fun, really glad I decided to come along. Everyone was easy to get on with and had some great games, I'm fairly pleased with my first tourney placing of 17th of 22, as my goals of "Don't get tabled" and "Don't come dead last" were achieved. And yes, great to see such a mix of lists today.Good luck in Cardiff anyone who's going! Edited June 11, 2016 by 54NCH32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
