Conventions

Hi,

I've had the idea of going to Essen in the back of my mind for a while, but I think it's too expensive/complicated/holiday sapping for me to consider this year. I've just found this one in Derby, which might not be quite as exotic, but it's more practical.

Has anyone been before? Or would anyone fancy trying it out?

There is a big board games convention in Birmingham every year. I think Craig and Evan went this year...

I'm definately going again next year.

I haven't been to any other regional conventions... Jonnyboy was talking about one he's been to a few times over in Manchester which sounded good..?? And Hairydogwalker's just been to one in Leicester which he said was good too.....???

Although - at the rate the Sheffield club is growing - maybe we'll be holding our own convention in the next couple of years?!!
