Winter Retreat 2007

[shags]

Hate to be pre-emptive but do we have some idea of what weekend winter retreat will be on? We;re organising work's 30 June party now and I don't want to miss the retreat again.

Cheers,

Shags

I have moved all the Winter Retreat topics (even past years) into one board for ease of location

Pretty sure Isabella and I will be attending, can I get an idea of cost and what is included, and what we need to bring ourselves.

Thanks.
Ben.

Hi Ben,

Winter Retreat is $120 for adults and $75 for Children (12 and under). This includes accomodation and following meals:

Late Dinner Friday night (8pm)
Breakfast/M Tea/Lunch/A Tea/Dinner on Saturday
Breakfast/M Tea/Lunch Sunday

You need to bring - blankets/sheets and pillows, toiletries and (the one everyone forgets!) towels. Also, don't forget to bring games!

Regards,

Keith

Sounds great. Just checked the map, further away than I was expecting, 2-3 hour drive? I heard some people are staying longer, I'm guessing this means there is no group bus happening for those doing just the weekend. Isabella and myself would be keen to be in on a group bus if we can get enough interest.

[keithdone]

Ther's not usually enogh support for a bus but you will find you can usually car pool with someone if you don't like driving up there- we will make an announcement at the next club meeting and tee people up with each other then.

As for staying on longer, this is dependant on the venue being unused in the week after our stint. We won't know that till closer to the date and I'll keep you in the loop - but five or so others have expressed interest in staying for a couple of more days and self-catering. Extra Accomodation would be about $15 per night.

Regards,

keith

If I brought it along, would anybody be interested in Dungeonbowl (a variant of Bloodbowl)?

[keithdone]

I wouldn't mind trying it or Bloodbowl during the weekend

Hi

Just wondering if anyone is interested in a long campaign game over 3+ days.

Thinking World in Flames (Final Edition) from 1939, and a player each for Germany, Italy, Japan, France/Nat China, USSR, USA, UK, so up to 7 players, though it could be done with 4+.

Otherwise anyone up for other suggestions for a 30-50 hour campaign game?
