Great idea Good luck with it

Optimus Prime

Cheers! we originally had is scheduled in for the Saturday night of GamerExpo in City west, but when that was postponed we had to find an alternate venue asap and the Grand social where great and accomadated us. Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft and Premier PR amongst others have been great and allowed us to carry over the prizes for the event. it will be a great night and we be brilliant to get some boardsies down!

Optimus Prime

Thanks guys, there are plenty of people heading on there own im sure spots will be available. Oh i should point out you have to be over 18 as there will be drink involved!

Great poster and cool bar , two thumbs up !

Jerichoholic

Wouldn't you be better off playing on your own though? Wouldn't fancy splitting an Xbox or PS3 between 4.

When did Pravda stop being Pravda guess I need to get out more:)

Anyway on topic , looks like a good night out and well done on prizes, they look 1st rate!!

Mr E

I've spoken to the other cmods, and we've decided to put up a category-wide announcement for this, just for the weekend. Hopefully it will help you fill all of the tables.

Dunjohn

Interesting. I'm not a Dubliner (and I'm assuming this is in Dublin...), so whereabouts is the Grand Social?

Any chance you could post the questions, so that those less fortunate could see how we might have done?

Optimus Prime

Ill stick them up tomorrow, what way will i do it, round by round or all at once? you just want a link to the doc?

Jerichoholic

Round by Round if you want, can pm you our answers and see how we get on, although that's probably too much work for you. The link to the doc would be fine too.

Optimus Prime

Cool sure ill see tomorrow, hers a link to some images on our facebook page if anyone wants to check em out.
