as far a refreshments go –
“I’m told that The Icon Café will be open for Breakfast and Lunches both days. There is also an ‘honesty bar’ on site too for out of hours refreshments.For evening food there is a McDonalds the other side of the roundabout, behind Halfords (c.800yrd) plus various fast food establishments in town.
The iCon café food is great. Very decently priced, the portions and quality are good (the Roast at previous shows has been outstanding). The café and honesty bar stock crisps, chocolates and alcoholic beverages, including the excellent local ‘Nobby’s Brewery’ beers. 😀
Teas, juices, coffees and snacks will be available during the morning from the café (we have had waitress service too), and during the afternoon from a flask arrangement.
“A woeful performance by the Burton turnout. Steve, the top Burton player. Results here
Come on chaps, must try harder 🙂I’ve just been contacted by an old customer of mine:
Hi Andy,
I have just moved to this area and am getting into FOGR. I heard about the above event from a friend and am keen to arrange a game or games with some of the Burton players. Although a newcomer to the period and rules I am confident I will be more than a match for any of your club players. If anyone fancies taking me on please forward my contact details to them.Yours,
Euan Hoosarmi“..more than a match..” I’m not sure that we can handle that sort of overconfidence 😉 bring it on !:-)
