Well, there doesn't seem to be enough interest to warrant this monthly. As ive mentioned I have to work overload during the week to ensure I can have the weekend of. Im not doing this for a handful of people (not allday sat). I would propose friday night like normal but im out for fireworks.
Sorry to brad and sam although im sure we'll catch up on a friday night soon.
No worries to Will and Cal. Thank you for letting me know.

I can host monthlies at this LAN place in Birmingham if people want., same place GGA1 and 2 were hosted.
Venue would be cheap (£3/£4 per head), roughly 4-6 TV's to ourselves and can be on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

This place charges per-head/per-TV, so it'll be £3 regardless of how many people come unfortunately (from what I remember, i'll ask). I would of done Brawl if it were to reduce costs but I don't think it makes a difference.
If I get a good number of heads willing to come I'll definately get it sorted out.

Hao - sounds alright go for it.I am sure youll get good enough numbers to make it worth while. However, I wont attend any. Im not 'into' smash enough to go somewhere small/dingy/very geeky just to play a game all night :s. Places like that, imo, take away what is sociable about informal get togethers. It just becomes waaaay to game orientated.
Hao

I preferably want a few more peoples interest/confirmation before I go ahead and start arranging dates and ****.

Community doesnt really work that way Hao (im afraid). I wish it did though. You have to put your neck on the line, organise it and then see who turns up. Id say youll get an average of 6 per event (if that).

Except there is no nearby housing. I don't think LC would be that keen if it was a small get together, they had to travel a pretty distance for housing and it was to smash orientated. I think small get togethers need to get the balance between smash and social right. They aren't tournament after all. As Brad recently said to me his last get togheter was way to smash orientated and was less enjoyable as a result. Got to find the right balance.
If you want to use the GGT venue, imo, just run a larger event than a monthly. I really don't think there'll be enough local interest to warrant it.
Also, from my personal view, the GGT enue is the worst ive been to for any event :/
Lastly, I was nice enough to start using my home for get togethers and look into hosting monthlies. However, members of the community can't be trusted to hold to their word and turn up regularly for these monthlies to occur.
Everything in your post is what I have been attempting George. It smacks of ignorance and enforces your naivety your recent actions portrayed to me.
Its all good posting words of wisdom but its actions that count.

Yes I know ed, I apologise again, honestly do, could go on but I've said it before, I owe you plenty a beer.
In all seriousness hope everyone goes ok for you with the house n all, sounds lame and really do hope it all works out and doesn't cause to much stress even tho it likely will.
I will help housing but of course im way limited to like 3 people, but brummy is easy to make it a day trip thing.

Okay George. You obviously know the way to my heart lol . House thing is still a nightmare. I am waiting to hear from the landlord (tomorrow) as to whether he has sorted out a solution with the mortgage lender to allow us to remain in the property. Even if he hasn't we potentially can get the mortgage company to become our landlord and allow us to finish of our tenancy. Its looking up anyway .
My point about the housing was that having a small get together at the GGT venue AND then people having people to travel back to yours etc isn't going to that attractive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im hosting a 'smash at eds' Friday the 3rd of Dec. Normal stuff. Smash, beers and games. Sleeping stuff provided. Can set up more than one tvs if people bring spare copy of games. Let me know if you are interested PROMPTLY so that I know to organise my work around it. Plenty of heads up timewise so that should help?
Ill have a house either way

- So noone in west mid up for any smash any time soon? I've been speaking to Hao and he's got something in the pipeline apparently, but I'm getting a bit antsy. I'm going back to Stockholm on the 20th. Anything going on in Brum soon would be grand?
