It's back!

After the great success of our previous Puzzle Parties I am pleased to announce details of our first one in 2012.

Allard kindly offered the use of his home again for this one but due to my horrible allergies and the potential of greater numbers we have decided to hire a room at a social club in Warwick.

The address is:

The Gap
39 Oakwood Grove,
Warwick
CV34 5TD

I have negotiated a rate of £65 for the room which we will have from 10:00 until 18:00 on Saturday 17/03/12. There will therefore be a fee of £5 per attendee and any extra money we have, should we have over 13 attending, will go towards refreshments etc.

It would be a nice idea if you could also each bring a small plate of something for lunch and we will organise this nearer the time.

The room will have plenty of large tables and chairs so we can all display our puzzles and then do a table to table visit to sit and play.

I have invited Wil Strijbos to attend but am awaiting his response. If he is unable to attend then we will try and get another well known puzzle name to come along.

I would like to know how many would be interested and have provisionally started an attendee list below:

Confirmed:

Nigel (Barcared)
Oli (Paradox)
Ali (Alimorris)
Allard (allardwza)
Chris (RevoMaster)
Louis (A-maze-ing)
Paul (Illusion_FX)
Chris (bluesign2k)
Graham (AFKAN)
Adin (astr0creep)
Joe (BarnDoor)
Russ (matrixagent)
Professor Peter Hayek
Sam Cornwell
Mike Hawthorne

Probable/Possible:

Rich (RichAE91)
Shaun (sheepish)

I'm 90% sure that I will be able to attend. So I'll stick my name on the confirmed list.

Thanks for sorting out the place! It'll be good to hopefully see the whole group together again.

Put me down as a possible. 50% chance I can make it. How would you guys get there anyway, because it is quite the trip for me. Rail links etc?

Sorry guys, you picked the one weekend in March that I cannot do. I will be up in Edinburgh visiting the inlaws and I'm afraid this is not optional for me.

Maybe the next one.

Our Midlands puzzle party has only 4 from the Midlands. The others vary from 30 miles to 150 miles away and then one from the Netherlands so it won't be long before we get someone from the states or even further :shock: ................. 'STIGY' 'Where are you?'

I told you I would not be 'able' to make another 'puzzle trip to the UK' before halfway March . . .
So count me in!
