If the 2E runs as planned and finishes around 4pm, this might actually work for me. I'm looking at a flight into Manchester Friday evening, going back Sunday 18:00.
10 minute walk to Manchester Piccadilly train station - trains to airport are pretty regular from there - you can check times online.

Please note the slight increase to the cost of playing. It's not a lot, but whilst we get the venue for free, I have suggested to the owner that I'd charge a reasonable entry fee and try to buy stuff from the store (gaming products, sleeves, etc,)

Trust me, it's more than fair for what we get from the venue - who have always accommodated us without charge, never hassled us at all and let us use as much space as we need. I just felt it was time we gave something back from a larger event, to keep FanBoy3 sweet for as long as we can.

Likewise, whilst they have never bothered us about bringing food into the place, could I encourage everyone to buy drinks/snacks from the venue itself. Sure, get your meals elsewhere (Tesco express over the road), but your cans of pop and choc bars should be from FB3 ideally.

Thanks everyone.

I see the reccession has not only hit strippers, but Star Trek cards as well.

:shifty:

But in all seriousness the playing fee is absolutly worth it, Fanboy 3 is a very accomidating place (everything Danny said above :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ) and I'd reccomend to anyone that hasn't played here to come along and experience the full awesomeness of the UK STCCG scene.

:D

I'll be waiting at the port for my ride to this one too Niall. Don't worry, I'm sure the boat ride takes about a week...that's a lot of drinking and hanky panky until we dock ;) ;)
