All,

STAFFORD MORNINGTIDE PRE-RELEASE SATURDAY 19th OF JANUARY 2008
BIRMINGHAM MORNINGTIDE PRE-RELEASE SUNDAY 20th OF JANUARY 2008

Here is the customary reminder about the Morningtide events which take
place this coming weekend in Stafford and Birmingham. As more
information has been made available about the new set player interest
has been building. Pre-registrations have been coming in steadily and
I would strongly suggest reserving your space in the event if you
intend to come along and play.

NOTE: The Birmingham event is taking place in the fifth floor rooms,
not the ground floor rooms.

By the way, there have been some updates to the event calendar for
2008. See below.

Hope to see you at the weekend,

Steve
