24hr Charity Gameathon at QLD Northern Knights Gaming Club Caboolture June 2-3

[Carl_Brisgamer]

I just saw on Facebook the Queensland Northern Knights gaming club (https://www.facebook.com/QueenslandNorthernKnights/) is hosting a 24 hour charity gaming event at the Caboolture Combined Services Hall 21 Hayes Street Caboolture from 1900hrs 2 June 2017 to 1900hrs 3 June 2017. The cost to play is $20 per person with proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital Foundation - https://www.facebook.com/events/772558469582171/

I will be there running the table for the full 24 hours (the 'dawn patrol' on the Saturday morning will be interesting!). I invite any Brisbane / SEQ based players to drop by and get some table-top flying time at the event.

Below is a locality map indicating the venue......



..... and a Google street view image of the hall.



Reply to this thread if you think you can make it at some point on the day.

No way! That's epic!

Do you need any prizes? I could donate a few prizes possibly? Maybe a duel pack and a few scouts?

After many years it is is good to see Caboolture getting its act together. I tried for a number of years but gave it up as a bad job. It's a bloody long horrible drive to Brisbane and back just to get a game or 2 in.

That's very kind of you Evan, thanks! I was thinking about pushing WGS more so as the new WGF stuff has not yet been released.

I will PM you in the next day or so

Nearly 9 hours in to 24hr event, WW1 done and dusted, just played the first Spanish Civil War mission. Three new players introduced to the game



I will be here all day to 1900hrs tonight running the table, any players keen for a game feel free to drop by.

[Carl_Brisgamer]

More Spanish action, 17 hours down, 7 to go!

[flash]

Well done Carl, a monumental (with emphasis on the last two syllables) effort !

[Carl_Brisgamer]

22 hours in and the crew has thinned considerably....



...the Bolt Action miniatures have been packed away.....



...the Warhamner crew are kicking back.....



....as peace reigns over that virtual galaxy....




....and only a Zomicide game brings the sound of rolling dice.

I will post some AARs in due course, but probably not tonight

Well done, Carl! Now have a good rest.

Well done, Carl! Now have a good rest.

Thanks Dave, I am completely recovered and ready to go again!

The QLD Northern Knights just posted on Facebook the event raised $500 for the Children's Hospital Foundation here in Brisbane.

Good result considering all I had to do was run a table of Wings of Glory for a day!

[Flying Helmut]

Superb effort Carl!

Well done! <<Rep!>>

Glad to see that a tidy sum was raised.
