1st November: Norwich Player Meet-Up!


Bindweed

 

Posted

Good insert-relevant descriptor for period of day, everyone!

I'd cordially like to invite some of you people to a meet-up in that fun, bizzare and sometimes frightening realm that they call meatspace, and where else better to meet up than the fine city of Norwich?

Okay, mostly because Norwich is local to me and such, but it is a pretty great city.

Where is Norwich, I hear you ask? It's located in the heart of North Norfolk, and is accessable by train lines running from Peterborough, Cambridge, Colchester, Chelmsford and London Liverpool Street, and a few other places. Also there's a National Express Bus Depot in the city too.

When, that's an important question! Starting at 10AM on Saturday November 1st, till... uh, around 10PM for me probably, when it gets to the point of the last train back to where I live.

Where is the venue being held? Good point! From 10 till 6, our home shall be Battlenet in Norwich, details here: www.battlenet.co.uk

I've been in contact with the owner, and he's more than willing to load on our favourite game (and not the Cardigans song) to the PC's there, and offer discounts for how many of us are going and for how long. There's a maximum of 16 PC's to use, and I'll need to know numbers pretty sharpish to get the back end arrangements sorted and get a price quoted.

What'll we do at Battlenet? Uh... not a clue, really! We can always spawn some characters and get some low level teaming going, do some PVP, or even... gasp, play some other games. Along with socializing!

After that, there are several fine eateries close by, including Pizza Express, Nando's, Pizza Hut, Wagamama, one who's name always eludes me but they do delicious beefy cooked meat stuff, a couple of Weatherspoons and so forth that people can grab vital nutrients at before heading off at some point.

For those craz- uh, nice enough to commute in, there are several hotels and such with affordablish rates in the city, I don't really have the space at home to put anyone up I'm afraid.

So, to recap, that is:
Battlenet, top of St Stephen's Street (Past Iceland, near St. Stephen's Car Park) Norwich, on Saturday November 1st 2008, 10pm till 6pm for the gaming, then social time afterwards.

Be there, or... be elsewhere doing equally important things.

Good show there, Z! Sounds like a grand adventure to me, so I'll speak to my social secretary and get my zeppalin inflated and fueled ready for the journey!

November 1st and 2nd, i'm already on a roadtrip to Amsterdam
so again, i'll have to pass on a player meet

I should be there - I don't live far away so should have no excuse!

Having said that, I'd better make sure Mrs Happy-Dan hasn't made plans. It's the last weekend of half-term, and that means any normal routine is temporarily shelved. I'll consult the crystal ball and get back to you, Z - by when do you need final answers?

Even if I can't make all day, I'm not going to miss a chance to drink beer! (Speaking of which, The Champion, across the road from Battlenet, used to be a good little boozer of you like decent ale. no idea what it's like these days, mind.)

Still a yes from me, I'm afraid. May have to get Cass to remind me nearer the time. Lack of interweb is sucky.


DON'T eat muffins while I'm developing you.

Apart from still being scared by Wilfred’s fingers I’ve also got a Halloween and a bonfire party to go to that weekend so I can’t make it.

Have fun though, and don’t drink too much.

So - money-wise, what is it per person?

Cool tools. Do they have machines with the game on / updated?

Any 'events' planned, aside from showing up and playing?

Umm... hmm...

Uh...

I might look about to see what swag from Omega Sektor 08 I can find, maybe a Most Heroic Hero and Villaious Villain contest, nothing amazing in prizes, probably just a couple of hero clix figures from the CoH set, Arachnos Mousemat...

Oh, I'll play for a mousemat! Seriously though, don't put yourself out, mate. I was just curious to see if we'd do something like a TF, etc.
