The original post contains all details about how to register.

Yeah, I've workied it out.

Is there any cut off date for sign ups?
Thinking alot about this, but if i can get some leave or not is another matter.

I intend to be taking Dakka only names and registration until next Friday, at which point I will open it up for people to procure places for their friends and whatnot. I'm basically giving my fellow Dakkaites the first lick of the lolly, as it were. There is no cutoff date other than when I run out of places basically. If you check the initial post, you can see how many are still available.

Paid and secured. See you all there.

Oh, you should ask someone to make this post sticky as well, and maybe change the title to include "40k Tournament, Canterbury UK" or something....

yeah,
I've confirmed time off work.
So I'm deffinently there!

£6 paid.

So need to book hotel....
Any recommendations?
Which hotel is other dakkites using??

Ketara once I've sorted out transport, I'll be able to let you know if I can bring terrain.
Basically if I can convince a friend with a car to attend and do the driving!? I should be able to bring a few tables worth of terrain.

Panic...

I have booked at The Falstaff.

http://www.thefalstaffincanterbury.com/

It's just over the river from the main town, 20 minutes walk from the University campus.

It's not cheap, but I like my creature comforts.

Should be attending, provided I can get the day off work (Should be able to).

With any luck, I'll also be Taxi Driving again by then, so will have wheels, thus drive to Canterbury.

I'm now opening this to Dakkaites friends/fellow gamers, and whatnot. It's been dakka exclusive for quite some time, so if you want to grab an extra ticket for a buddy, feel free to now!

yeah,
I've got three maybes from friends.
Two of them drive so if I can confirm, I'll let you know what terrain I can bring.

Panic...

I'll be opening this up to the local Canterbury gaming society in a fortnight or so if I still need people to make up the numbers. So far, we've only got six which isn't quite enough to run a tournament!

yeah,
If you build it they will come!

PAnic...

Due to the nature of my job (i work in marine survey and can get called away very last minute for offshore work) I cant confirm definant attendance, however if i am free (and its ok with the organiser) i'd like to come along for casual gaming, are unpainted armies ok for that? (again very busy) and if i were to make an appearange i'd be willing to bring my realm of board and some scenery for pickup games (hoping for around 1500 pts), would that be ok?

Do we have any idea yeat exactly what the format of the competition will be? I'm presuming it will some kind of league? What scenarios will we be playing, or is this not sorted yet?

The format is undecided as yet. A month prior to the event, I'll make an update to the first post regarding directions on how to get there, scenarios, etc.

Whilst we might only have six confirmed members right now, I have about another 6 tentatives who I'll remind closer to the date. I'll also post up a guest list of who's coming.

Discussion on scenarios is ongoing here:- http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/280737.page

Cool. One of the things I found useful about the last tournament I went to was that the judge required people to email in their lists a week or so before the event.

This way each one could be checked before the event, so as to minimise mistakes and not waste time. You can also then put up a little list of who's coming, and who's playing what army on the front of this thread, like in the Notingham thread.

If you're looking at 8-10 people actually attending, and you want more, you could always pop down to the local GWs veteran nights? Canterbury, Maidstone, maybe Bluewater? Give people an email address, and the autoreply could be the link to this thread. Maybe we'd get some new Dakka members...?

We're hoping a couple of friends of ours who don't post here will be coming. One of them has a van, so we can fill it full of scenery... I have enough hills for a couple of tables at least...

Oh, and I'm treating this tourney as a challenge to get 1000pts of my Penal Legion Guard painted up, so that's my army. If I don't make it, I'll bring Daemons....

Also, shouldn't this be stickied in "Schedule a game"?

Yes definately up for that one, how do i sign up???

All the details are on the first page. I'll register you as soon as I receive the paypal payment.

Awww I used to go to Kent Uni.

Would come but I live in Suffolk now.

Out of interest which college is the room in?

I used to use a room in Keynes for Sunday gaming in 2007.

yeah,
Ketara, the missions look cool.
I'll PM you a few mission rules enquiries!

PAnic...

Tried the Assaination scenario last night, it worked well. You've got a good mix of scenarios to try and design an army list for. Should be interesting.

Paid and ready.

Also, I will be driving Saturday morning from South London, if anybody needs a lift.

And, I'll likely bring my entire army and some terrain. (All fully painted up!) So if anybody fancies a 2000 pointer on day two, give me a shout.

Finally, what hotels are people staying at? Any recommendations? (Edit; Doh! Just seen Kilkrazy's at the Falstaff. Everyone else?)

Updated.

I would not be able to come for two days...

Is it okay to pitch up and just "hang out" for a while on the Saturday?

If you just want to come for the Saturday, I'd have no problem with that. There's no obligation to make it for both days.

Looks darn sweet. I wish I could come. Maybe some day in the future!

yeah!
Paint - Paint - Paint!! must have 1000pts painted!

I'm so looking forward to tomorrow, It's going to be great!

Panic...

^^Amen to that!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Good luck to all of you!

Wish I could have made it!

See some of you in August.
