Hey Stephen,

Seems like this event is gonna be a good one. Hope you get a good crowd and more importantly, get the players talking about how good the layout, structure and gameplay was. Hopefully this goes from strength to strength and its a pity i cant play tonight. (In work till 930 tonight and back in at 7 in the morn). I'll be at the next one, work permitted, to give a bit of support coz i'd love to see you succeed. Best of luck mate
