Official UK Malifaux Team Challenge GT - 23rd and 24th June 2012

[OldManMyke]

Trying to persuade Conrad that we need to attend this. He says that he has some other gaming system to play but will keep at him. Of course we would still need a 3rd Malifool but I'm sure if it came to it, we could just find some guy on the street and get him to play. He couldn't be worse than us

Me and the Johansson clan will be assembling for this bad boy. Might do all Neverborn ...

[Guy in Suit]

Um, I might be able to come - was looking at doing Europe in June.

This Mansfield place seems a bit far from London and I am not too good at navigating the more provincial territories though.

Will check back in a few months.

Wow, I got a 13 on my casting to necro this thread.

Any ETA on a rules pack yet Jo?

(Yes I know it might be a bit hit and miss with the young 'un)

Next week. Just speaking with maelstrom and as numbers and interest are so low I need to make sure it's worth running for you all

Afternoon everyone!

Just thought I would pop on the Forums and introduce myself. My name is Tim King and I am Maelstrom Games' new Events Manager. Although new in the job (started last Thursday!) I have been working for Maelstrom in a part-time/key-time capacity at the the larger Events.

Having read through some of the posts in this thread I thought I would come on here and firstly promote the venue but then also hopefully be a point of contact for you guys if you have any comments or gripes about how we do things! (Puts on my tin hat!!)

So for those who don't know what Maelstrom is we are one of those horrible internet stores - but not really...

We have a bricks and mortar shop, warehouse and gaming hall located just outside Mansfield in Nottinghamshire.

When the company acquired the building back in 2010 it was a derelict old Mill (see this thread http://http://events.maelstromgames....opic.php?id=11) but after a lot of time and money we now have one of the premier independent gaming venues in the UK (I believe).

So we have our Shop where over an event you will receive an additional discount giving you 15% off the RRP off any range in stock. Also if you want something that is in stock on the website but not on the shelves the shop staff can pop out back and grab it for you.

Upstairs we have 60 6' by 4' tables that can accommodate 120 gamers or 180 on 4' by 4'. All of which have ample painted terrain from some of the best manufacturers.

Some how I have to fit 240 gamers in the venue middle of July for the Hordes & Warmachine ETC!! Going to be a squeeze!

Finally on our little tour we will pop down to my favourite area... the Bar!

We have a late license so can stay open till 3am if you guys keep drinking, our prices are pretty decent (our Strongbow is 40p cheaper a pint than the pub up the road!). You can also take your drinks up into the gaming hall and we offer a range of alcoholic, soft and hot drinks.

Attached to the Bar we now have our own Kitchen and Chef that will feed you during the weekend. During Club nights on every Tuesday and Thursday we can provide a Bar menu but depending on the numbers at the weekends we have to have a more restricted menu.

Now I know people have an issue with the 'food charge' which in reality isn't very fair. Although we charge Jo as the Tournament Organizer per person per day it should really be named as a 'Venue charge' as all of this is included in the price! And not only that I will give Jo Store Credit which she can hand out to the winners as an additional bit of prize support!

And with all that I would like to think is we provide very good value for money.

Hopefully this will go a little way to explain why we charge you for playing in an event at our venue but we do listen which is why I have registered on the forums for you to have a point of contact. I don't wish to clutter Jo's thread so please feel free to PM me and I hope to see as many of you as possible at the Team Event!

There'll be a team from York to add, just need to work out who to bring for our 3rd.

[Iron Skies]

I know a good portion of Harrogate still want to go (And have booked travel-lodge) We just need to pimp this out more

[ukrocky]

Ring me thursday night adam as I wanna know whos in my team. I quite want to go with a combination of Paul, Ant and Doxey :D

[Neverata]

Itll get pimped out next week. But with the increase in tournaments around the same dates it's not as easy as all that!!

I will be making a new thread though as this one is too whiney!
