Competitions / Britcon and Roll Call 2013 - The BHGS needs YOU!
« on: January 25, 2013, 11:31:30 AM »
From the DBMMlist posted By  Tim Child
You may have been wondering why we at the BHGS have not yet published details for Britcon and Roll Call. Unfortunately, we have a major manpower problem, and possibly also an issue with increased cost of the Britcon venue this year, which means that we simply do not currently have the personnel resources available to run either event at the moment.

We have been able to see this issue as a potential problem for some time, and raised the topic with some possible candidates personally over the last year but without success. Unfortunately, despite having organised a great Britcon in 2012, Nobby very sadly felt that he isn't able to carry on in his role with the BHGS this year and our fears about available manpower have come all too true. If you want Britcon and Roll Call to happen this year, we need volunteers who are willing to give up their own gaming for a weekend to help run the events.

For the avoidance of any doubt, Challenge, The Scottish Open and the Doubles are all "safe" for 2013 - these events are definitely happening and we look forward to seeing as many as possible of you there!

For Roll Call, we can resource most of the pre-event organisation etc., but we do need at least one person to help with that and to organise and deal with admin over the weekend (which will almost certainly involve not being able to play) and several more (ideally lots more!) solid, reliable helpers to assist with the set-up and take-down on the Friday before and the Sunday evening afterwards.

For Britcon, in its current format, we need a lot more! As well as someone to take up the organisational reins and lead the event, we will need a team of about 6 overall during the weekend, able and willing to take responsibility for organising and running the competitions, manning the bring and buy, assisting and supervising the traders and providing admissions and "security" on the door. As those who have been to Britcon will appreciate, these roles are full-time during the event and, again, will involve not being able to play in the competitions.

The University is also looking to increase the charge for the venue this year. That means either that the price per competitor will have to increase (quite a bit), or that we need a new, cheaper but similarly-sized venue, so we need suggestions in that respect.

Anyone able to volunteer to act as the lead organiser for the event will need energy and experience in relation to event-organisation, whether wargames-related or not.

If these events are important enough to you for it to be worth your while volunteering to help, please make contact with us urgently. The BHGS Committee members are:-

Bruce Brown
Tim Child
David and Lynda Fairhurst
James Hamilton
Matt Haywood
Hunter Hope
Jer Morgan

Please speak to or email any of us personally to discuss what is needed and how you could help.

New Team Competition Rules

We will continue to combine the club and team competitions in 2011 into a single new team competition.  We'll resurrect the club competition if there is enough interest in following years.
Teams may be made up from any group of players, whether from the same club or not and should consist of up to 4 players.
No more than 1 player may be entered in any period. The scores from the team’s players will be added together to determine the team score (multiplied up if necessary so all periods contribute the same potential number of points to the team score).
Team entries can be made by entering the team name on each player's entry or by submitting a team entry sheet with the players of the team listed. A discount will be available for team entries made using the team entry sheet.
The Roll Call shield will be awarded to this year's winners.
Directions, Accommodation and Catering

The competition will be held in the Holywell Middle School, Red Lion Close, Cranfield, Milton Keynes MK43 OJA.
Tea and coffee will be available at the venue.  However unlike previous years we cannot offer food, alcoholic or soft drinks.
