Post by: Malamute on July 27, 2013, 09:26:50 AM
I am pleased to announce The British Lead Adventure Meeting (BLAM) 2013 will be on 1st-3rd November 2013 at Bishop David Brown school in Sheerwater, Woking, Surrey.

You may have seen threads from previous BLAMs showing some of the wonderful games we have played. If you want a reminder take a look at these:

The company I used to work for also had offices in Woking and I was there quite regularly. That would have been a nice set up, getting all my travel costs to BLAM paid for! As it is I'm still pretty tempted  :)

One day Guy! ;)

Just to note, airport lifts can probably be arranged for anyone thinking of flying in for the weekend.

No need to be shy - it's a great chance to meet other LAFers and put faces to forum names. The standard of presentation of games (as you'd expect from a LAF event), is universally brilliant, and a good time is generally had by all, with lots of great and varied games on show. Typically, we've had around 20 different games on offer across the course of three days, usually with 25 - 30 participants picking and choosing the ones that appeal to them the most. It's very informal, very flexible, and there's no obligation to attend for the whole thing. Pop down (or up!) for a day if you can.

Please pm Malamute if you're interested in coming along.

Hey Guys, Mason put me on to this and it looks great. I've just had my firstborn turn up(!)  :D and I'm busy with KS commitments and commissions starting up again in a couple weeks otherwise I'd love to have put a game together. Also it's my 30th that week but I'd love to attend if only for a day. Hope to be able to contribute nonetheless.  8)

LAF Lanistas Malamute and Jimbibbly drinking coco and playing BotS in the pub.  Just behind Malamute and out of shot are two attractive ladies showing considerable interest in the proceedings and obviously gagging for it (a game of Perudo that is).

Ladies!  Really? Gagging for it?!  With a sophisticated and silky smoooooth southerner and a hunk of the hunkiest northern brawn in their sights, I am surprised they weren't already perched on your laps.   :D

Of course, the two 'attractive ladies' could have been an optical illusion brought on by the consumption of too much cocoa.
Or CGI.....

No, it's in Teddington, a pub called the Clockhouse. It's just up from the Curry house we went to a couple of years back at the last BLAM in Twickenham.
