In a nutshell, Winter Retreat is a 3 day gaming holiday held at a Queensland Recreation Facility. For the past 20 years, LXG (and LXG in previous incarnations) has run an annual getaway weekend (open to club members and non-club members) for the purpose of playing tabletop games. This is purely a fun, social weekend with no organised events or competitive tournaments.
Current turnout is around 50 people. Everyone is welcome - the kids have a great time!
WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS? The camp is available to use from 1pm on Friday. Many people take the day off from work and arrive sometime that afternoon. Others travel up after work and get there around 8pm. There is the opportunity to car pool if you haven’t got transport. You stay at the facility until 2pm on the Sunday and then head on back home.
In between is a whole lot of gaming, especially those longer games you don’t often get time for (e.g. Twilight Imperium). There are also some popular ‘parlour’ games for large groups (e.g. Ultimate Werewolf). As well as gaming there is usually a pilgrimage to the local tourist traps to buy wine and local produce.
All meals are included in the price: - dinner on Friday - breakfast/morning tea/lunch/afternoon tea/dinner on Saturday - breakfast/morning tea/lunch on Sunday/
There is also bottomless tea/coffee/juice/pre-mixed cordial. If you have special dietary requirements they can be catered for.
ACCOMODATION The camp has a number of cabins - usually 2 bed or family cabins that cater for 4 -6 people. It also has shower and toilet facilities contained within most cabins or located nearby. You need to bring pillows, warm blankets, towels and toiletries.
WHERE This year’s Winter Retreat will be at the Leslie Dam Recreation Facility in Warwick Queensland. LXG has used this for 3 years running and each event has been very successful.
WHEN 1pm 22nd June - 2pm 24th June 2012

Hiya folks,
I know this will come as a complete surprise, but I am bringing Twilight Imperium along...
As usual, the game will kick off at 9am Saturday morning. Last year we had two tables playing & (I think) 11 players. So far, five players have expressed interest.(..and one 'unbeliever' has expressed disdain...)
Liam has requested as many expansion options as possible, so we might put out all those little tokens that make landing on planets & moving into new systems potentially hazardous. Maybe he thinks this may improve his chances.
Steve has requested the task of deciding where players will be seated. Maybe he thinks this may improve his chances.
I think it might be safer to be at a table without Liam & Steve, 'cos this may improve our chances.
(...just kidding!)
Let me know (by posting here) if you want to play &/or have some things you would like to be included in or excluded from the game.
