    Piss poor planning promotes piss poor performance, piss poor performance promotes pain.

    Hi Gus

    Ditto...

    From my squaddie days it was the 6P's

    Pre Planning Prevents a Piss Poor Performance..

    That's 6 unless i they changed it since i left school?

    But perhaps 12 P's is repetition...?

    Gents care to enlighten us?

    Ok chaps
    Here are the two badges styles.

    option A


    option B





    Prices work out as :

    Option A
    30 @ Ł6
    35 @ Ł5.50

    Option B (with white over-print for ‘Doncaster 2017’ text)
    30 @ Ł7
    35 @ Ł6.50

    My preference if for option B the black with white writing but it is the most expensive one.
    So chaps do we want a badge for this year and if so would you be happy with the Ł7 option, going to Ł6.50 if we get 35 requests.

    The quote is valid for a few days yet so let Simon and myself know what is the preferred badge.

    I shall keep a tally on here once the preferred option is known so we can see where we are, be aware we can only take the one option, too expensive otherwise, so please let us know which option and number of badges please.

    Question 1: There is a bar for the "younger" ones (40 -50 years)? Maybe we don't need a chair for everyone.

    Question 2: What's the name of the Pub? (need to do some recon work - pup to bed)
    Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!

    Answer 1: For those over 50 chairs will be provided.

    Question 2: What's the name of the Pub? (need to do some recon work - pub to bed)

    Answer 2: Same location as last year Sven.

    Yes, Neil...

    ...and the name of this pub?

    Because it's the first time since 26 years that I'll be standing on English ground, again.



    I'll do some research...

    Hmm... only found "the pup" a few time.


    Question 3: Is there a kind of entry fee for using the museum's room for gaming?

    Question 4: Is it possible to contribute to the prize pool?

    Answer 3: We have a small fee to pay for the use of the room over the weekend, however we are still awaiting costings and a break down of such.

    Question 4: Is it possible to contribute to the prize pool?

    Answer 4: All contributions gladly accepted, however if you wish to retain your contribution for a game you are running that would be appreciated too.

    Just to add to Neil's comments re-costings.. we know the total cost but the cost person depends on how many attendees we have

    Guus for you and all others staying at Doncaster Central East it is only a matter of 30 seconds out the hotel door, across a small paved area and in through another door.
