Author Topic: Potential scottish BLAM event- MacLAM (Read 9471 times)

Good afternoon all,

On the road home from BLAM 2011, brimming with ideas and enthusiam for next year.

Additionally we're also seriously considering organising the very first MacLAM event... That's right the scottish counterpart to BLAM! We're wondering if this would generate any interest among the fine outstanding individuals of the forum. Perhaps BLAM is too far, and Glasgow would be easier to get to? We're also wondering what time of year people would be interested in... April? May? June? Any other month?

We already have an idea of a venue in mind; summerlee heritage museum- a very interesting industrial museum. Currently we're waiting on a quote from the museum, but if its cheap enough

.

Also, if people are interested in running a game on some of our boards, they'd be more than welcome to... Yes even the zeppelin! This would hopefully cut down on the amount, people would need to bring... And maybe even encourage people to run a game

Let us know what you think

Cheers
Andy

That would be fantastic. There are direct flights to Glasgow from Arlanda as I recall and I have relatives there.

I'm in.

Not sure on when, it's a hard one to call, perhaps march or June?

Would love to bring a game. Up too

Would Lord Summerlee be stocking his wicker man? Oh, no, that was Summerisle, wasn't it?

I'm in Tyneside, so Glasgow would be accessible for me.

Oh yes. No further to you than the Southern Softies for me

and I am sure the hospitality would be top notch.

Thanks for the fabulous spectacle of the Aquanauts too - absolutely delightful

Damn cheek!

I'd certainly be up for it, not really any further than Blam.

Always interested in getting together with other LAFers.

Yep. Glasgow is easy with SleezyJet

That said, persuading the Mem Sahib that I need to disappear for three long weekends to LAF events next year may be tricky...

But in principle, I'd love to, dates and passes permitting

Bring her with you. Glasgow is supposed to be one of the best shopping cities outside London.
Twenty minutes away by train

Depending on the date, I would certainly be interested to. I should be able to fly up from either Bournemouth or Southampton.

Hmmmm..... consider me intrigued!

I know I am certainly interested (subjects to dates, etc) and the Rev and I will be putting the idea to our gaming group on Tuesday, as to dates all dates are equally good for myself, but I can't speak for the others - I am sure the Rev will be able to speak for them.

With the generous offer of boards for playing on I definately reckon we'll be able to bring a game or two along, especially as it means we don't need to rely on having drivers to bring a board up.
