We would like YOU to bring along a game from your ‘Pile if Shame’ or gaming merchandise that you are happy to donate as a prize (must be good condition and working order please).

Please don't feel you HAVE to bring something along, your presence will be enough.

 

Tickets for the raffle will be on sale during Saturday evening with ALL proceeds going to GamesAid.

Tickets will be a quid each (slight increase due to QUALITY of awesome prizes). All the prizes will be collected together and winners will be able to pick out their prize from the selection.

You can either bring your game donations on the day or if you’d prefer mail them to me and I will take them to the pub – Send a PM or email Adamski UK for details.

Sorry for posting here before posting in the "Introduce Yourself" forum……I will def get round to it this weekend. As Mr Adamski knows a few chaps from FFJ/RCC will be attending #EGXP I think were up to 5 or 6 so far.

Myself & Steevieb will be arriving on the big skybird from jockland on the Friday morning, so some liquid lunch at the Prince of Wales would be most welcome if you'll have us.

 

Dont want to speak out of turn for others but your shindig on Saturday night sounds the dogs, if there is room for Schoey (Mark), Epic (Tony), Dave Moran, Steevieb & myself (thats 5 RCC/FFJ) it would be much appreciated.

 

Look forward to seeing you

It goes without saying that im there all three days.

Im working on the idea on going down for the thursday night just to make stuff easier for the friday morning.

Anyone about who needs a room share or any recommendations on where to stay?

Thanks.

I will be in London from Friday to Sunday.

Since I arrive at 9:00 at Heathrow airport I should make it to the Prince/Pub,

my only problem is the checkin at the Holiday Inn is at 15oclock.

So I need to find a secure place to stash my stuff.

Antman and Hugo once threatend me to welcome me at the airport maybe they have

already a room, or a Car.

 

My plan for the weekend is:

Friday: Meetup + Expo (If I know my stuff is secure)

Saturday: (all day Balls Deep) Expo + Meetup

Sunday: long sleep and getting rdy to fly home at 15oclock – no more Expo

 

Ofcause I have to bring my game for the Raffle with me, I´ll check it is something not

German only awesome.

 

OK I hope I didn´t forget anything.

 

Best regards

Hello my pretties,

After preying on the generosity of my fellow MLGers, I have successfully blagged myself accomadation for the Expo. If some plans come together, moar epic win could be happening on the Friday.

I shall be attending the expo and extra events on Friday and Saturday. I have a ticket booked for Sunday just incase, but I will probably be retreating back to Cornwall where you are cosnidered overdressed if you have more than one ear.

 

Toodles,

Yep, Friday and Saturday.  I should be in attendance in one form or another.  Probably a rather drunken form.

 

See you all then! thumbs-up

Ooops, almost forgot.

 

Oli.  Ant and I should be able to meet you at the airport.  They should have a storage space for luggage at the hotel, even though check-in time is later.

WICKED!

That is great news Wayne. We make one short stop at the hotel and off we go.
From the map it does look like both the Pub and the convention center are just
around the corner.

My only drugs are MMORPGs and the smell of freshly opened wrapping paper on a Collectors Edition.

BTW I just realised that Gears3 will be realeased on the 20.9. I guess I need to do some shopping.
It will not be sold in Germany.
