I'm on a building site at the mo so can raid the stores for most stuff, so let me know by 1.30PM and I can pick it up if we have it.

One massive bag of coarse sand? We'll just throw it over all the planks of wood, the floor, the seats, everything. It'll look amazing with Killkrazy's Tau stuff, and I'll bring my bucket and spade and make a sandcastle terrain set.

I just nailed 11 hours sleep, which felt pretty good. I'm going to try and do a little model assembly, and dissertation writing today.

Bar having a very sensitive stomach at the moment, and some slight joint pain (which I can alleviate quite well with painkillers), my main problem is that I'm quite easily fatigued if I exert myself physically. If I just take it easy, I'm pretty good, my mind works fine.

I'm actually hoping right now, if I work hard enough, to actually finish my dissertation on time , and attend the wargaming weekend. It'll be a challenge, and it might increase the period I'm ill for by a few days, but I'd be willing to accept that tradeoff.

I'd also like to thank you Gentlemen for all stepping up and helping make this tournament what it is, and demonstrating just precisely why this is a Dakka Community Event! Not many other tournies could have the TO not capable of doing it and still work just as fine regardless!

Not sure if serious?

**Panic**

**notprop**

Disaster Dakkanauts!

Long story short Parcelforce strikes again!

The mugs have not yet arrived at Chez notprop!

Unless they get here for 8am saturday morning they I guess I will be posting them out or refunding those that have paid. Fingers crossed, but no time to worry painting to do and I have to work out how to get a 1 Ton bag of sand in the car for Ian.

**reds8n**

There are... or were as of 16;15 this afternnon, 6 of those large wooden boards still in the Missing link building.

So, that's handy/gone right at least.

**Da Boss**

Guys, I'm really sorry to say, I won't be able to attend. I feel horrible for backing out at the last second, but I have just had a very serious job related emergency, and my job is sort of on the line until it is dealt with. I can't afford the time off for the tournament at all.
That, and I'm ill (like, need the doctor ill). If it was one or 'tother I might have tried to make it, but I am going to have to concede defeat.
I am gutted, because I have been having a rubbish time of it lately and would have absolutely loved to have come along and played a few games with you guys.

**Lovepug13**

Sorry to hear that mate......

Hope your work emergency gets sorted out :-)

I will pick you up in the morning red....(9am)

**reds8n**

Cracking weekend gents, pleasure to see/meet/drink with you all.

**notprop**

What Red said plus thanks to Ketara for organising the event (from his sick bed no less!), and everyone that supplied the terrain - all tables were good, most were awesome.

**Snarky**

Yep, was great. I wasn't expecting the first day to be so long however. Will upload pics and batreps soon!

**Evilmop**

Fully enjoyed all the weekend and all you guys seemed ace, thanks for fun times

**Arakasi**

Great weekend - I was really glad I made it! Good to catch up with old and new faces. Will eventually get some mini batreps up myself (and will have to check out the above...)

**Lovepug13**

Enjoyed it.....Perhaps we will see a PD4 or an Apoc game soon lol

**Tek**

Great shots fellas. So sorry for not making it - I would've loved to come again this year, but stuck between job changes, friends moving to bloody japan and an overall lack of free time, it just wasn't for me this year.

**Jonagon**

Cheers all it was great fun, great to meet you all.

My photos from the event are here:

A final well done to the organisers for a great event.

**Battlecannon it phil**

was a good laugh for me, using a no heavy support imperial guard army was funny, might do it out of choice next time.

**Kilkrazy**

Great pics from Jonagon!

Having played and lost to Battlecannon it phil's "no heavy support" army, I claim that it wasn't funny at all!!!

Even though it is a nice looking army.

**thesearmsarerob**

I had a great weekend. Cheers for the pics and thanks to the organizers, looking forward to a possible pd4...

**Rinkydink**

Yep! All good here too. Nice to meet all you folks!

Congrats on the event. More, I say. PD4 can only get bigger and better!

**notprop**

So in a shock development Parcelforce have delivered a parcel in only 120 hours vs the 48 promised and I have finally got my grubby mitts on the PD3 Dakka Mugs, so if you have already paid Ketara or would like to get your hands on one of these then drop me a PM and I can get one out to you.

**reds8n**

If we wind up with any spare give us a yell would you please ? I think I could find a use for them

**Tek**

^Seconded.

**notprop**

Okay fellers I'm just waiting to here exactly what was originally ordered then I can divy up the left overs.
