I'm wanting to attened Caledonian on the 19/20 of Jan, but am waiting till mid december to buy my ticket (probably the last point in which I will be able to do it), I think the hall is pretty impressive (only second to WHW), I've enjoyed every event there, but I play in tournaments to meet like minded people and have a laugh!
So as long as the atmosphere and event in general is good I will keep attending.
Where's Caledonian mate? Looking for a tournament to try my BA army out in early next year...

Cale:

Battlefield Birmingham3:

Those are the 2 I want to attend early next year (and have been granted leave) then from then on it's a matter of asking the wife as and when lol.
I went to Cale last earlier this year as my first tournament since coming back to 40k and finished 50/110 so I want to defend that with the blob/sw list! It's really well run (Tim King is a great event organiser). But the prices are steap at Maelstrom or whatever it's called now.. at least £30 per ticket, but I was talking to an organsier of a tournament held there later on in the and the food is almost £20/5PP! But it;s worth it IMO.
Battlefield Birmingham sound interesting. i may just be up for that if i can get some more games in as practice.

I've been to the first 2 events and they have been fantastic! Really relaxed and would be a great first tournament mate (if I'm right you've only played a few times since 2nd ed??).

I recall the being a discussion on the Wyrd boards about MG. I think one of the GT's jumped up from £15 to £30, because Maelstrom insisted on supplying food for the event. They wouldn't call it a rental charge, and insist that the venue if free to use, but do insist on charging per head for food. Still to be honest the £30 we paid two weeks back wasn't an issue, as the weekend was great fun. Only issue I felt there was, is the tables that have a support post, butted against the table, in the middle. There are a lot of benefits to MG/EotS or whatever over other gaming venues I have been too, if you get past the politics, but that's for another discussion.

That's right, I had my 4th game since 2nd Ed against "other" Ben a couple of weeks ago. i need to study up on the rules etc but i may just go for it.
Rightio, I'm up for some of this...

It's the best way to go mate, just throw your self into it, I mean, I got battered the first time I went to BB I got tabled my first 2 games and got beat 18-2 in my third game LOL! I was on 2pts out of 60, it's all a learning curve
