I've had a day off away from all computers, and now i'm back and reading through what's gone on. And deeply gratifying what's been said is, and I thank you all.
I don't know how this news thing works, but in theory clicking on this article gives you much much more text to read or ignore.
tl;dr. i get it.
For those of you that don't know I'm Big Bad Jon and I'm fairly recognisable, especially this year being the one that dressed as Willy Wonka. (If you didn't go, ask someone that did). I'm the king of VAGUE and I'm exceptionally proud of my team, pulling out 18 awards in total, (not counting painting and sportsmanship). Same as I have been proud of them every year I have been privileged enough to run a team like mine.
I've personally been to the nationals every year since my first in 2000 (Glasgow) and have placed either 2nd or 3rd every time except one 1st in 2005 and every year I've played a different rpg category.
And now it's mine. Yes, the man with the biggest ego around has the keys to the shop. You might as well have let loose a spider monkey with ADD into the control room for the Disneyland rides.
ANYWAY
Plotting has already begun.
We're going to try our best.
Probable dates are looking like 18th / 19th April 2008.
We'll be giving out information and queries just as soon as we can, providing it's actually relevant. Don't forget that you'll be getting your new intake of students in september and theoretically it wouldn't be nice to cut them out just because you want to make sure your forms are in first.
Thank you all, Sheffield especially, for hosting and participating in a great event.
Talk to you soon.
Big Bad Jon.
PM me if you want my direct e-mail address if you don't already have it.
