Is this SWASH 2? Or just a meeting?

SWASH is at the Royal Armouries, in January, I guess. This is totally separate, and a lot closer!

The BGMs tend to be a bit less formal than the full on AGMs (which where the pre-runner to SWASH).

Same basic idea though. Boring meeting for the reps on Friday. Drinking for the rest :( Then two days of workshops, some CI assesments and of course the Glorianna Cup which they would not let us do at SWASH.

Aha, so this is the chance for the cup to return to London, where it belongs! :twisted:

Actually I concur... None of us have done anything singlestick-like for a year or more.
Maybe Oxford will finally claim it.

Milo from The LSD won it in Aberdeen. In fact they had both finalists.

Nor had i, it just suddenly happened. I, apparently, know what i'm doing. Personally that's a scary thought...

Yeah, but being around Nigel for any amount of time is enough to convince anybody that they know what they're doing.
