EPGS Heroics - October 2003

 

Come game with us THIS SATURDAY in the Community Room of the Oxford Valley Mall!

 

The tentative EPGS Schedule:

 

2003: 18 Oct, 15 Nov, 6 Dec, 20 Dec

2004: 2 Jan, 17 Jan, 7 Feb, 28 Feb, 6 Mar, 20 Mar, 3 Apr, 17 Apr, 1 May, 15 May

 

Notice that for 2004 we will have 2 meetings each month, every 1st and 3rd Saturday. Six more gaming dates per year!

 

The Mall does not schedule events as far ahead as we do, so parts of this schedule may be subject to change. You will be informed as early as possible of any changes.

 

Gaming from 9:30 AM - 9:30 PM

 

 

Ubercon Announcement

 

From  Kevin Jagh (kevin@ubercon.com, General Manager)

 

Ubercon has provided a discount code for EPGS members. The code is EPGS1020BH, and will entitle the user to $10 off a weekend pass for UberCon. Preregistration is up and running at www.ubercon.com.

 

 

ALLIED HOBBY is running MECH WARRIOR gaming on Tuesday nights (6-9 PM) with 500-points being designed by each player. Get your practice in now; they plan on sponsoring a tournament soon!

 

Plus, a note from your president, Allied Hobby has graciously agreed for EPGS to store four 6'x2.5' tables at their store (they'll have to be carried to Allied Hobby before 9 PM every meeting).  So from now on we should have 14 tables instead of our usual 10!  Show them our appreciation and show them your EPGS card for 10% off their games!

 

 

Garbage Addendum:

 

I want to thank everyone for leaving the room so clean the last two meetings. It is important for us to remain on good terms with the mall management and it's nice to see that people actually care. I just want to bring up a pet peeve of mine - please don't bring trays from the food court. If you bring one anyway, please return it to the food court when you are finished eating.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave B.
