EPGS Heroics - December 2003

 

Come THIS SATURDAY to the Community Room of the Oxford Valley Mall for a FREE meeting of the Eastern Pennsylvania Gaming Society! Think about it - would you rather be out spending all your money on Holiday gifts or would you rather be gaming for FREE?!?!?!

 

The tentative EPGS Schedule:

 

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

(Possible LATE gaming this week as the mall should be open late!)
