    Wrong place to put this but I'm getting rid of my Sails and Battlestar Galactica stuff. I'll post a list and if anyone's interested that is hoping to Doncaster I'll bring it with me.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Hi John.
    If Ruth wants to do Tripoli, let me know as places are limited.

    Interesting... I'm also offing my BSG stuff, due to lack of interest (both by me and my club). Likewise I'll sort a list out if there is interest.

    A common situation

    Much as I like the game (and love the TV show) it was never more than a novelty compared to WGF and WGS.
    Now the loss of the Game Rights seems to have killed the game off.
    Folks left and right are selling off their collections.
    I've added two other peoples collections to my own, and am now maxed out.

    So far, there appear to be no takers at all for a BSG game at Doncaster.
    That's fine, so long as I can slip over to participate on another table instead. I won't bring my stuff if there is no need for it.

    I am considering my T&T in much the same vein Tim although I shall of course be keeping the aircraft!

    I was wondering who would be the first to suggest that, and, curiously, your name was at the very top of the list...

    Fair enough Tim, I will reshuffle and free you up to play whatever takes your fancy, there were a couple of takers but probably not enough to be able to run anything meaningful...

    None have posted on this thread (only 1 "backup" if their primary choices were not available).

    I'm happy to run a game, but not for only one or two players - I can do that at my club.

    I must be getting soft chaps. As soon as I saw that post I thought of Sails but refrained from mentioning it for fear that Tim would not have his dried Frog Pills to hand. From his measured reply it seems that he did!

    We are also trying to sort out a trip to Canada since before lockdown Mike.

    Good to hear you are able to make it to Doncaster this year. Eileen and I look forward to meeting you both.

    There are certain people, who have a certain inclination/habit of invoking the Game Which Shall Not Be Named in respect to me...

    I knew one (or more) of them would be unable to resist the temptation; the only question was "which one would get there first?"

    There are six more names on the List

    Don't worry - yours is not among them.

    Sadly I must announce I cancel this year. There are several reasons (no direct flights to LBA or MAN, expesive flight tickets, extrem work rush [finishing two BIG projects during September] and cancel even by my friend David) that makes heavy-cost event for me. I am truly sad, because September England, cold mornings, smell of the museum buildings and, the most important, the group of extraordinary people around this gathering is something that means a lot for me. Hope for next year...

    So sorry to read this, Dan - I was really looking forward to seeing you again.
    Well, let's aim for Donnie next year...or possibly Prague?

    I am sad, but it started to be complicated (in scales of a single weekend event).

    About Prague. Yes, we definitely want to continue (probably 22nd to 24th April) with a possibility to run something smaller even during autumn of 2021.

    PS: I must say that I still like the game much - we're helping Láďa with his boardgame "camps" (program during day, night at their homes) and I must say youngsters are increasing motivation to "beat them" all the time

    Sadley for the first time since this great weekend was conceived in 2014 and which we have enjoyed attending with our good friends , Mary and my good self must bow out from Doncaster 2021 .

    The PCR testing on the 2nd and 8th day comes to a total far exceeding the plane fare and accom /costs in the UK.!!!!
    Plus as we normaly bounce over to Spain after the games, and the risk of being caught in a lockdown is worrying to say the least, given our narrow escape from the UK in March 2020

    We wish you a great gaming weekend and will, Government permitting , see you in 2022, or sooner if you can get to Prague this year.

    Hopefully next year in either (or both) Prague and Doncaster. Fingers crossed.

    Oh my .... now Paul and Mary are bowing out as well ...
    This sure doesn't look good

    I'm still under the impression that we (coming from an amber ountry)
    - need to be fully vaccinated,
    - need to be tested with a negative result max 48 hours before setting out to the UK (and that's a free test in the Netherlands)
    - need to take a test in the UK on or before the 2nd day of our stay, day of arrival in the UK counting as day zero.
    So we have to take a test on friday or saturday.
    However, the big problem is ... we need to arrange/make an appointment and pay for that test before arriving in the UK ...
    Let's see ...

    cheers,
