I have been asked to forward the details of the above event to
you by David L ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) so please see
below.
The Tenth Anniversary Adventurer`s Convention The Royal Angus Thistle Hotel, Birmingham, Saturday, 30th October, 1999, 9am to 6pm.
Well – who’d have thought that we’d still be going strong after 10 years! As usual the convention will run from 9am on the Saturday until 6pm and will still cover all formats. Tables will be available if you wish to bring your own computer, and we actively encourage this, so the more the merrier! You are welcome to bring along software/hardware for sale too, although no pirated software please. Adventurers come from all over the country, including Northern Ireland, and the atmosphere is very friendly and informal. Many of us stay overnight at the hotel and the Friday and Saturday evenings are just as lively and entertaining as the Convention itself. We still haven’t managed to attract anyone from outside the UK but we are still living in hope! During the day we have the popular Megapoints competition running in which contestants get 20 minutes playing time at a specially written text adventure, with the object of scoring as many points as possible in the allotted time. There are usually cash prizes and certificates for the 3 highest scorers. (Well everyone says we should be certified!) The game this year is being written by Edwina Brown, and the only information we have is that it will celebrate our 10th Anniversary. Tickets are available now, and in honour of our anniversary, the price has been lowered to £5 per person. See details below for obtaining them. The Royal Angus Thistle Hotel has again given us special room rates for those attending. These include full English breakfast and are:- Single Room £40 per person per night, and Double Room or Twin £35 per person per night. Please contact the Hotel direct to book your rooms - the address is The Royal Angus Thistle Hotel, St Chad’s, Queensway, Birmingham B4 6HY, telephone 0121 236 4211 and we would suggest that you book early. Make sure you tell the Hotel that you are attending the Adventurers Convention otherwise the room prices are about double the above! If you have any queries about the convention, or would like to reserve tables for hardware or software please contact either Larry Horsfield or Karen Tyers: email: Larry – [EMAIL PROTECTED] Karen – [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do come and join us, even if only for the Saturday. If you’ve never been before, you’ll have a great time, and maybe you’ll at last be able to put faces to those names you’ve only heard about, and you’ll certainly go home with a lot of new friends. If you have been before, but perhaps only to the earlier conventions, you’ll be able to renew old friendships. We’ll look forward to seeing you there. |
