Greetings, Continuuees
So, England's Euro-dreams are dashed again on the rocks of a penalty shoot-out and amidst the controversy of a referee's decision. Never mind - soothe your aching hearts (or jubilant ones, if you're not English!) with the comforting thought that Continuum's only a month away, and that its referees never make bad calls.
Down to business - and we have a few very important announcements and updates.
Sign-Up Deadline
You MUST register for Continuum by the 8th July at the latest. The final list of attendees is sent to university on the 9th, and whilst we can accept registrations after this date, it causes no-end of admin hassle. There's still room to make your booking, so, if you've been putting it off, thinking it's okay to turn-up on the day (it's not), or waiting to celebrate England's Euro victory by signing for a really, really good gaming con, now's the time to act. Remember - 8th July.
Cardolani Succession
It's with great regret that we have to announce that Cardolani Succession will not be taking place. It's very disappointing, but ultimately the take-up of places didn't reach the level required for running the game. We'd like to offer our apologies to all those who did sign-up for Cardolani, and assure you that we did everything we could to keep the game alive. Sadly, it wasn't to be.
The committee is looking at ways in which to occupy the slot Cardolani now leaves, which means that there'll be some significant timetable changes to come. More details as they happen.
Cruel Hearts
Although we haven't reached full complement for Cruel Hearts, it will be running. Colin and I will be making some character and plot adjustments this weekend and sending character sheets out next week.
Bring and Buy/Continuum Ebay Auction
Hope you're all hunting through your games collections for the stuff you need to unburden at the Bring and Buy. Remember, premium items will go into the Ebay Auction to be held over the weekend. Details and product sheets can be found at www.continuum.uk.net
Polo Shirts
The committee will be sporting incredibly stylish Continuum polo shirts over the course of the weekend, provoking all kinds of sartorial envy. But it needn't be that way! You can join the 'In Crowd' and sport your own polo shirt. The cost is to be determined, but it'll be reasonable and the shirt high-quality, with a discreet and attractive Continuum 2004 logo. Although shirts will be on sale at the con, why wait? Let Darran Sims know now if you're interested, including preferred size although they're likely to be Gamer Large and XL, as standard) and arrangements will be made.
Membership List
The latest, up-to-date membership is now on the Yahoo group files, and on the website.
All for now, my friends, except to wish you a great weekend. And remember, we still have Tim Henman flying the UK flag at Wimbledon - so plenty of time for yet more nervous breakdowns.
