Hi All,

I dropped by the Games Workshop in town yesterday, and the gentleman (I believe it was James - although I apologise if I'm getting your name wrong!) who works in the store pointed me in your direction.

So a brief bit about myself:

I've been playing Wargames for the past 21 years, starting with 40K, then moving onto most of the specialist games. Still remember the opening of the GW store in St. Albans where I bought Blood Bowl, Dead Zone and the Chaos Team Box!  Stopped for a while whilst things like university and girls got in the way, but about 5 years ago got all the stuff back out again, and started to collect again.

Still have all my armies from my youth.  These include 40K Blood Angels (2 Companies), Eldar (approx 6000pts) and a Catachan Jungle Fighter Army, most Necromunda Gangs, Warhammer Bretonnians, Skaven, Empire, Orcs and Goblins etc... (and a whole bunch of Epic!).   However, it has been quite a while since have played a game of any of GW's main gaming systems (or Necromunda for that matter!)

More recently Kickstarter has allowed me to add Mantic Games (Dreadball, Dreadball Xtreme & Kings of War), Studio McVey's Sedition Wars and Rivet Wars to my gaming pile, each with appropriately sized piles of miniatures to support them.

However, my main love since returning to the hobby has been Blood Bowl!  I am a member of the NAF, I play in the ECBBL in London on a Tuesday Night, and regularly go to tournaments such as the NAF Championship (replacement for the GW hosted Blood Bowl) which I was at less than a month ago.  I have at least 1 of each of the teams in the LRB6.0, and for some (such as Orcs & Humans) I have up 4!

However, have not had a gaming group in St. Albans, until I heard about your group!

Would love to come down and meet some of you, maybe even play a game of Blood Bowl or two!

I might try and make it down on the 22nd of June, however it won't be until at least 7, as I am taking part in a Blood Bowl tournament in London next weekend! (Pearlies, link to the tournament info page on the talkfantasyfootball website just incase anyone is interested!!)  If I don't make it that weekend, I'll try for the weekend after!

Hope to meet some of you soon!

A fellow bretonnian!

I think there's a blood bowl league starting up soon at the club so I'll see you down there - Sadly I can't play Blood Bowl next week as I'm booked for a game of fantasy .

[Trev]

look forward to seeing you soon.

Stopped for a while whilst things like university and girls got in the way,

Whilst I can accept that moving a University is hard, especially on your own, most girls are in fact portable.  This will not be an acceptable excuse for not giving us a try

And this is why Trev most women are bolted down......

Don't bolt them down, chew your food properly or it gives you indigestion...

[Trev]

reminds me of a joke about a clever dog, a hot poker and a bolt for the door

Hey again,

Didn't make it down last week as Blood Bowl tournament ran quite long on Sunday afternoon. However have been keeping an eye on the boards and will be down this week. Am aware that you are having the AGM so would be interested in listening to that, then also happy to just meet you all, or if anyone wants a game of Blood Bowl would be up for that too!

What time will people start turning up/what time should I look to get there?

[Deleted]

Oh, also if you need an additional body for anything else (demo games etc...) would be happy to play anything ... but won't necessarily have my own models.

Dad (Trev) is starting a Renaissance campaign using the DBR rules - I think he's still looking for more players - you cab read about it in the Historical section on here.

I will be down with my blood bowl team and my magic holdall of games in tow, however am lined up to play in a few games but will see what happens.

[Trev]

we kick off from 4pm and have the hall until 10pm so there is plenty of time. The AGM will start around 5.30ish
