Hey guys
I've been considering attempting to arrange a UK event for Dakka Dakka members. I currently attend the University of Kent in Canterbury, and they have ample space and tables that I should be able to book as a student.
I would imagine we'd hold a 40K tournament, a painting contest, and an auction similar to what Mikhaila does at his shop. Then, there's plenty of pubs and bars about Canterbury.
How many of you guys would be interested in something like this?

I would imagine we'd hold it on a Sat or Sun.
And no, I'm afraid it is a tad too far for our American brethren!
As for coming from London, there are regular trains, and hourly coaches for the cheap option.

You can get a coach here and back from London for a tenner, so it's not quite as expensive as it seems. If you're prepared to travel late and early.
It wouldn't be the same without you Mad Doc! If you end up down here, we should arrange to have a game at some point!

Which one Grotsnik? There are two gaming stores, and three comic book/ rpg shops here.
There's actually a lot of hotels and B&B's around here for people wanting to stay a night.

Good grief, I only just saw your mention of this in the OT board.
I shall have to get you fired and Mr. Ketara thrown out of University then.
You should swing by the Business School sometime Mr. Ketara, not this week though.
DEpending upon time of year it might be possible to stay at the Uni itself of course.

Sounds like you'll fit in perfectly with the Canterbury store then.
I frequent that particular branch quiet often. I don't know if you'd fit in with the frequent trips to the pub me and the staff make.

If you're wearing that dress you'll be on your own table.
Besides on GW wages you won't be able to go out that often anyway.
Not top of my head anyway, I'll keep'em peeled and let you know if anything comes up.

Well indeed. The dress was a one off Halloween outfit!
Wages should prove enough. Found Flatshares for around £380 a month all in, and there is nothing preventing me taking on a couple of bar shifts of an evening. Industrious is my middle name!
And cheers!

Are you in Canterbury then Reds8n? Otherwise I'm afraid the reference to the Business School just went right over my head.
But in even better if there's more players locally!
You can get accommadation at the uni during the summer, but ideally we'd have this before then, as with any luck, I'll be able to get us the room free, sicne I'm a student there. However once we start talking about accommadation and stuff, they'll probably treat it as a conference or the like, and start charging for the room use.

Which , as a trusted employee of the Uni I might be able to help out with.
If the room is not in use I'm reasonably certain I could swing us either Darwin conf, suite or maybe the Missing Link building free for a day, especially if we can say that X number of people would therefore also be going into Origins and so forth.

I was thinking the big Keynes lecture theatres upstairs. If we could pull two of those that are roughly next to each other, that gives us plenty of room to play on tables, not to mention a seated area we can give out painting awards and do the auction on. I measured out the tables earlier, and if you shove two up together, it makes the standard board size. Then we just have to add terrain. You've got K-bar and the toilets just down the stairs for convenience as well.
Darwin conference suite is the one right next to the front isn't it? If we could shove some tables of the right size in there, that would be ideal as well (assuming there aren't any there already). The uni tends to to take a narrow view regards to shifting furniture between rooms though.
I'm not familiar with the Missing Link building. Is that up near the Biology and Business buildings?
EDIT: Just out of interest, are you one of the Business lecturers there then? If so, you probably teach one of my housemates.
