Its all coming together.

Another week passes and we get ever closer to CONQUEST on 26th September. The boards are now down at the Shoreham Center so for the first time you can get an idea of how it will look.

All the rooms that we need for the event have been finished which is great news!

All we are waiting for now is the entrance to be completed and some obvious cosmetic improvements to the outside.

The main hall is pretty much ready but just needs some decorating. Its all looking pretty good for CONQUEST.

This means that we can now finish the layout plan and full event time tables which should be ready next week, so watch this space.

Something to drink?

Last year we held Conquest at Hove Town Hall and food and drink was a bit of an after thought. This year we are at the Shoreham Centre and food and drink on site will be provided by the newly refurbished Pond Cafe.

The Cafe offers a range of food from breakfasts, lite bites and some really nice home made meals. With coffee's from as little as £1 and a really nice outside area what more could you need?

The Cafe will be available throughout our event and will give you all time for a nice tea or coffee in between games or tournaments. Of course if your entering one of our events then maybe it is just a chance to have a look at your purchases or have a break from all things gaming.

There are also many other cafés and restaurants just a few minutes walk away in Shoreham busy town centre.

Its getting there!

Today I popped in to have a look at the progress being made on the Shoreham Centre and check a few measurements so that I can finish of the plan and timings for all of our events. Here is a picture of the new foyer area - as you can see there is still a bit todo...

CONQUEST - All systems are go!

With Conquest getting closer and closer I am sure that many of you are saying 'it all seems a bit quiet' and you would be right.

We have been a little concerned that the venue would not be ready and did not want to start the ticket sales until we had a new completion date following delays caused by wind damage to the new roof. The building currently looks like this ...

We now have a completion date in August so by the 26th September we should have ...

So its now time to start buying your tickets - remember that the tournaments are limited numbers - details of these will be on the website and on the blog in the coming days.

This year we are using EVENTBRITE to control the tickets so the process should be much smoother.
