NEWSLETTER - 23/11/06

Hi Sunbathers,
Another busy weekend coming up with big events for Magic, Dreamblade
and YGO with a massive VS event just on the horizon. All of the game
companies are releasing new sets or expansion for Christmas so get
ready for some amazing releases. Our new SGC t-shirts are selling
well and are in limited numbers. You can wear them casually on
social occasions too, not just on washing day, house cleaning day or
at a 7 day convention like most other gaming shirts. We thought it
was time for a gaming T that you would be happy to wear anywhere.

In big news…Vickey has been appointed head of Organised Play in
Australia and New Zealand for Croftminster. She starts on Monday
27th November. I'm going to miss her heaps while she is away, but
this is a big step for both her and I and very exciting. We will try
not to let the chair zombies launch a counter attack while she is
away. The chair graveyard has gotten down to manageable levels in
recent months, along with the dust bunnies who have gone back to
their warrens. If both of them decide to team up with Vickey in Melb
we may be in trouble. Vickey has already made some special envelopes
to be opened in case of emergency, hopefully we will keep on top of
things and won't have to open them!!!

On to the festivities….

NEW GAME!
FULL METAL ALCHEMIST

Due to popular demand we have got in a small amount of FMA boosters
and starters. If you want us to keep stocking this game and maybe
run some events for it, pop in and show your support by buying a few
boosters and letting us know if we should put some events on for it
in the near future.
