NEWS SECTION
1)                  ASG JANUARY MONTHLY REPORT

Our first monthly of 2008 was a bumpy affair. We had the highest
number of new Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon players in over 12 months and a
large WoW TCG Regional but not enough players to run the Magic GPT.

We ran two Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments and two Pokemon tournaments as normal
so the younger players did not need to stay for the whole day.

The standings for the WoW TCG Regionals were:-

1st Place	Adam Povey		Qualified
2nd Place	Matt Oakley		Qualified
3rd Place	Iain Shirley		Qualified
4th Place	Kye Etherton		Already Qualified
5th Place	Jodie Gardner	Qualified
6th Place	Jimmy Chung
7th Place	Carol Holton
8th Place	Kim Holton
9th Place	Lee Wood

We hope everyone enjoyed the busy day and hope to see you all again in
February.

2)                  NEXT MAGIC THE GATHERING PRE RELEASE THIS WEEKEND

This weekend see’s the release of Morningtide, the sister expansion to
Lorwyn. We will be running two tournaments as normal, one starting at
11am and the second starting at 4pm. We will be running side events
all day.

Pre releases are a great way to see the new cards and play in a fun
tournament without all the pressure of normal premier events.

Don’t forget to check out www.magicthegathering.com for previews of
the set.
