UK Summer Game - Poll Closed Sunday 29th July Date Booked - WW2 Normandy 1944

http://www.doodle.com/phddrha8ycixudct

It will be a WW2 Platoon Level Game based in Normandy 1944.

Can cater for 2-3 players a side and an umpire per player for fast turns.

I have just added two new dates for August, post Olympics so hope this might widen the group / pool of players?

So far not looking good and we can not book hall based on the numbers shown so far.

It is a shame that some of the younger members can not take the time to put there preference on the Doodle, even if it is to say no to the dates shown and suggest on this thread dates when they could.

Well I have just added my name so it is looking better!

One problem may well be that I was not notified by email of this post, or others. Perhaps other members are in the same boat.

Not sure if I need to change my forum settings or if the admins need to do that.


Cheers,

Richard

I think the university crew have been distracted by exams. Still, it doesn't take long to fill in doodle, so have put the word out, am am hopeful that take-up for the summer game will receive a boost over the next few days

Martin

That did the trick with a couple of new updates..

Looks like 29th July might be best date.

Martin is there any chance of you asking Pauline if the Hall is available and putting in a Provisional Booking. I would need access from 10am to set up, AGM 11am and Game start 12 noon and say finish at 4.30pm? (Could be earlier if helps with booking? say 4pm?)

Actually, I've a feeling that I already booked the 29th as a precaution. Not sure. Let me check.

Martin

Excellent if that is the case. Ideally a few more people but they will come I guess....

Hi Mark,

I will certainly come if around, and will play any role, but clearly don’t wish to commit myself in advance before my holiday dates are settled.

Same will apply at present to any other games taking place during the Summer.

Have just heard back from Paulette. We are indeed provisionally booked in on 29th July, so I will confirm that. No one booked in after us atm, but she is asking what time we expect to finish though.

She adds "Also our floor will just have been renovated during the week 23rd 28th July so you will need to admire it and cherish it no hobnail boots or route marches please. Just T.L.C."

OK can we make it 4.30pm as it gives us leeway to tidy up as it will take me some time to pack up...

And then pub beer garden!

Done.

Excellent idea.

Poll Closed as the date now set to the 29th July. If you did not cast a vote that does not stop you from signing up to play. See you all on the 29th July

That should be fine for me - I will note it on my calendar.

Just double Checking numbers

Martin (Either)
Phil (Either)
David (Either)
Gary ((Either) an old friend of mine)
Alex C (Either)
David C (Either)
Ian (Either) - Deleted e-mail so not sure if it was two of you??
Ian's Friend?? (Either)

Digby (Umpire)
Richard (Umpire as he played the test game at Warwick)

Paul D (Either) - Not sure if you are coming Paul?
Steve H (Either) - Not sure if you will get the time to make it?

We have 3 players a side and Ref per side so 12 people needed in ideal world I think we are close to that depending on if we get any drop outs.

Let me know on the thread if I have missed anyone.

Wittmann sorry we will not be able to use WiFi so this will I fear rule you out. I will be at Historicon in July so if you do make it to the Kreig game that is being run then please say hello.

I'm looking forward to it. And didn't summer come round quickly? Only seems a few weeks since we had the Battle of the Atlantic game.

Hi mark

I will be attending subject to any security related dramas!

Happy with any role.

See you then, need anything sorting or bringing?

Sorry to say that a family event has been thrust upon me on the 29th, so I'm going to have to pass on this one.

Hope you all have a good time and hopefully I'll see you next time round.

I'm assuming all future communication on up coming events will be posted here rather than by email, as agreed, so please post a forum message if this is not the case.

See you soon!

Sorry I cannot make this - looks great fun - sure you will have a good time.

David C

Yes, that is the intention. We are hopefully moving to a position where all future events will be wholly organised by the person running that particular game, rather than by me. Doing things such as providing game details, establishing attendee numbers etc via the forum seems an obvious way of doing that.
