Yeah £36.50 is a fair price in my book and everything is still needing to be planned. But just one question I know the likely hood of it happaning again but it could be an even £40 for insurance purposes for i am still concernd about that missing laptop of randomdude (i think thats the person who lost it). For an event this big thers bound to be stuff that will ultimaely get missplaced lost or accedently taken by mistake. Sorry to be negative there but it is something to consider and ill say it one more time sorry to be negative. But haveing a jolly this big we have to be prepared. Just my feelings for i would hate to be the one that spoils everything for the rest of us by saying that

Actually, Ranny's laptop disappearing is the first time we've ever had a peice of tech go unaccounted for at any of Markie's events. No idea what happenned, but my guess is it got left upstairs where the normal people were... :/

I think he wants some sort of insurance for the tech we bring.

It's always been the understanding though that any tech left at the (publicly accessable) pub is left there at its owner's risk.

Let's not overcomplicate this, eh? Just put something sensible on the main sticky advertising it saying "Any tech you bring is left at your own risk" and leave it be. Paying for any sort of insurance then makes it the event runner's liability, which obviously isn't right.

God, we'll be off into the land of disclaimers and crap in a moment, won't we?

<insert the required amount of sympathy about having Randomdude's stuff nicked. It's not nice, but I'm not on about that specifically>

Sorry I meant was that i know things wouldnt go missing but it was incase things do and i know things like that wouldnt happen. But Im talking through experience with wargame conventions here. Whare if there was a big event that spanded over a few days then leaveing all the modles and the stuff on the event floor there was always an insurence added to the event payment so that if anything goes missing some form compansation could be paid.



I am sorry for brining this up i really am and im going to delete me posts after this one has been read

Cheers for clearing that Jim ...

Indeed, if stuff is left only leave it in OUR area's ... and yes, it's at your own risk ... If we go down that path we need to be a real show ... RV is a club meet for fun ... between mates to drink and play games. I would advise if you value your tech then dont bring it.

Also, as Bog says, this is the first instance in 7 shows. Still sad thou.

Then you'll pay the same amount as the T-shirt and curry option: £29.50. :)

Although Markie may have to include all the other permutations in the price list, just so he knows who wants what, perhaps labelling them Option 1, 2, 3, etc. :)

Hi everyone,

I am Mrs Zoot (according to Bog), and it was really nice to see a lot of you on Saturday.

A special thanks to Gribbles for making us feel so at home, espacially to hear that he had been working about 400 yards from where we live for two years!
