Silvercon Strikes Back!

Yes, we've decided to do it again. (Hurrah!)

We're going to celebrate our silver wedding yet again.  We're also celebrating Richard's birthday a couple of days early, and offering my husband and sons a chance to buy me a very belated present for my October birthday (see my user info page...).

We are therefore inviting anyone who would like to come along to come and join us for a long weekend of gaming and generally hanging out with a mixture of interesting people.  Food will all be provided by us.  (If you have a specialised diet, you may need to being some stuff)

The dates are 28-31 May.  The venue is our house in Dorset (just ask, if you don't know the address)

The nearest station is Poole.  There's a bus service from Poole to close to our house.  (Number 3, runs twice an hour, get off at 'Corfe Mullen Library', more details of navigating to/from bus stop available on request.)

There will be LOTS of board games and card games to play.

There's an inflatable double bed which goes to the first couple to ask for it. After that, it's bring a sleeping bag (we have a few spare, ask if you need one)

If you're a regular reader of this journal, then consider yourself invited.

Let me know if you want to come, so that we have an idea of numbers.  We seem to average 10-15 people.

The 13 Days of Gaming. You'll be exhausted!

In that case, I hope to come for part of the time, as I enjoyed last January.

Excellent! We'll look forward to seeing you again.

I feel the timing is a little ambitious... 28 to 31?

Phew! The week *after* the N Gauge Society AGM...

Due to mumble grumble grrrrr I don't have a car any more but will see what can be arranged (or might get me hands on a replacement by then).

The spirit is willing, but the logistics are weak.

Is the train an option?

Train? *Train*? ****TRAIN?!!!****

Would love to but Cross Country is ruinously expensive and shockingly inflexible. I tried to find out *how* expensive to get to Poole, but apparently I am not yet allowed to want tickets for May. "Locked filing cabinet in disused toilet in basement with Beware Of The Leopard" marketing at its finest. *Tossers*. Ahem. Pardon me. Sorry.

Do you want to know why I no longer have a car? Attempted theft, so much damage that insurance wrote it off, 250 miles from home, cost *seventy* *quid* to get home on the train.

That was October. Still in mourning.

Initial negotiations with neighbour to buy their ickle smart car...

Eventually (2021?) you will be able to change the name to Rubicon. Alea iacta erit!

Groan! We shall of course adopt this suggestion in ten years' time.

Yeah, we're keen, Jonathan hasn't gamed since, ooh, the last time. And if it helps idle_moor, if he can get to a train station on the other side of the Pennines we'd happily give him a lift down and back, and an overnight stop if needed.

Noted in my diary, and no clashes so far.
