Silvercon 1.5

Those of you who were at the last Silvercon (or who wanted to be there, but couldn't make it) should have just received an invitation to Silvercon 1.5 on 24-26 March 2006 at our place in Dorset.

If anyone didn't get an invitation and particularly wants to come, let me know.

Silvercon is a gaming weekend, for those who want to play board and card games all weekend with occasional breaks for eating and socialising. It shoehorns people into every possible corner of our house and makes use of our large collection of games (and some brought along by friends as well). It's pretty much sleeping bag accomodation as any available beds will be bagged very early on (one's gone already, and I only sent the invites out 10 mins ago).

All meals are provided (there's always a veggie option if you let us know in advance) and we're asking people to donate a fiver each towards the cost of food (unless you're only going to be there for a short period, in which case just chuck in a quid or two). People are usually pretty good at lending a hand with table-clearing and dish-washing.

For those who don't know, Silvercon 1 celebrated the Silver Wedding of [livejournal.com profile] waveney and myself. Silvercon 1.5 is an excuse to have fun and a celebration of being married for 25 and a bit years.

We have absolutely nothing planned for that weekend and since this is far enough in advance we can make sure we don't schedule anything for that weekend. We would need one veggie option. We would also be happy to bring veggie food as well. :-) Dish washing, the mponey for the food, and cleaning up are no problem, as we are used to going to events like this where everyone helps.

You're now both officially invited!

No need to bring food. [livejournal.com profile] waveney and I both like to eat a lot of veggie food anyway, so we always tend to include some when doing bulk cooking.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Well - I was about to say we'd have come ...

However, I just realised we will be in Egypt Eclipse chasing that week ...

We seem to keep missing gaming do's ....

Rats. Ah well, if this one is as much fun as the last one, we'll probably have another in six months or so.
