I've had an email from the venue asking to confirm Sunday lunch choices in advance for as many as possible, to aid with the busiest day of the week for kitchen :)

Having worked in catering I understand where they are coming from, but it's only a dozen or so, this time around, and wont be too much of an issue if I tell them on Saturday.

However if you do want to chose now, that's fine by me. I'll keep a list and give it to them on the Thursday or Friday, with amendments on Saturday morning.

Going by the reactions from last year, I'd recommend the chicken ;)

Itchen, I'm assuming you are still veggie?

Choices:
Roast beef, roasties, veg, yorkie, gravy;
Nut & seed roast, roasted new potatoes, veg, yorkie, veggie gravy;
Half roast chicken, roasties, veg, yorkie, gravy;
Stuffed and roasted pork belly, roasties, veg, yorkie, gravy.


Saturday will be buffet and, again going by last year, should be very good :)

Any other BB'ers want to take part in fast and furry* Blood Bowl?


*only furry if you play Skaven.

Nope, wasn't down this week (not sure if was meant to be or not).

Day 1, Ogres 1-2-2, which is a lot better than I expected.

Also Stunty Cup winner, mainly because I was the only Stunty team, but it's not my fault that everyone else is powergaming/sane/boring. :lol:

Halflings tomorrow, and not sure if anyone, other than me, is bringing a Stunty team or not.

Halflings also 1-2-2.

Won the Day 2 Stunty Cup, this time on merit - Merrick (who was feeling rough as $hit) only managed 1 point with his 'Flings, against me.

Overall Stunty Cup as well, but given I had twice as many games to do it wasn't a surprise.

Great tournament as always, so big props to Al and Fern.

Thanks to my 8 (well, 10, but you know what I mean) opponents - all 10 games were enjoyable, even if a couple were uncomfortable to sit through at the end.
I'll take 3 Stunty Cups, even if only one was really contested. ;) Especially happy with not being bottom either day.

Highlights for me:
Vs Landrover - "He's not sent off, it's just my D&I box is to full!"
Vs Merrick in the #GreatHalflingBakeOff - scoring with Deeproot to equalise, then getting lucky on the TTM scatter so he couldn't score for the win (and commiserations for feeling so ill - surprised you lasted the weekend).
Vs Hawk - somehow pulling off some Elf-BS (with Halflings) in T16 to get a win!

Just for my own amusement, I took everyones total scores and worked out placings - I put those that managed both days above those lightweights that only did one "because". ;)
(Note: this doesn't take SoS into account - I'm sure Al can flag up any errors if anyone is really bothered.)
