we did this one last year with Gorkle as Aussie CO, it was great fun and now that we have a Japanese squad, The Fishermans Co-Op, I hope they will fly against us this year. Looking forward to it Brooke
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

Brooke do you intend to run this on Sept 7 evening time in Australia like last year. Sept 8th is my birthday and I don't intend to be stuck in front of a computer.

Thats my Bday, but i usually get kicked out of all the pubs by 8pm on my Bday as its starts 12 hours prior so if i can be delivered and proped up in the den i hope to make it but i wont remember play it on the 8th and the 8th is my wife's Bday and i am glad its not then as the wife ack would be 10inch flak if i suggested we come home early so i can play the game.

Is this a walk on event?

It is an event open to all players, no registration needed.  Also, people can show up late -- I don't close the doors at start time.
