It shouldn't really be a problem, Joes is up north and mine is down south. Even if I only get the 5/6 Reading Smashers then it still wont really matter since its at a house and I wont lose out on venue fees or anything

Obviously getting some people from other areas would be awesome too, but if this ends up small its not the end of the world.

Hmm, I'm no longer in the area in about a week's time and term will have started by then. I'll see what I can do.

Turns out I've got something I can't miss on this day already. However, I may finish that at a time which allows me to come for the evening/night, so I'll see what I can do.

Just FYI guys I've pushed the start time for this back an hour to 11AM, hope this doesn't cause any problems. In other news I've negotiated with my mum and the venue entry will be free for this first monthly

Could we also startt getting a confirmed list for this going? Definitive answers from Rajesh, Jam etc would be cool

I move to Aylesbury on Saturday and start work on Monday. I'd love to come, but I just don't want to commit to anything until I see what my workload is actually like, so I won't be coming to this one I'm afraid. :(

If all goes to plan, I should be ok to arrive to play over the evening and night, but will miss the actual tournament (though clearly will have to challenge the winner :p).
