Title: Continuum 2008. Post by: Zarniwoop on 15 July 2008, 10:51:40 Details from their site:
Continuum (http://www.continuum.uk.net/) is held at John Foster Hall, one of the Leicester University Halls of Residence in Oadby, a small town on the outskirts of the city. The University has an excellent and comprehensive set of directions to follow. There's also a roadmap of the immediate area. For Multimap and Sat Nav users, the address is: John Foster Hall 15 Manor Road Oadby Leicester LE2 2LG The Hall itself is comfortable, but remember that this is a student hall of residence and falls an RAC star or two short of the Dorchester or the Ritz. Rooms are generally single-occupancy, with modern shower facilities and a shared kitchen and dining area per floor (ideal for additional six-player games!). A few additional double-rooms are available - but book early to avoid disappointment. Bedding and towels are supplied in all.. The grounds and two adjacent houses retain a certain Olde-Worlde-Cthulhuish sort of charm and are ideal for period RPG’s and freeforms. The main building and social rooms are well appointed and fitted with modern conference facilities. Oadby town centre, whilst small, has all the facilities one might need, including a huge Asda, slightly less huge Sainsburys, and a variety of different takeaway nosheries. The Chinese restaurant just out of the town is highly recommended by the Continuum committee.

I only went for the Sunday, but managed to get some time in the trade hall (about half a dozen traders), participated in a FREEFORM (LARP basically) as the Chief Engineer of the Nautilis, and got to play a Janitor ("Bubba Jones") in a nature bites back rules light game.
Thoroughly enjoyable, with very friendly people always willing to chat and help. Title: Re: Continuum 2008. Post by: EvilGinger on 09 August 2008, 01:44:01 pity I missed it, despite badgering phil to arrange a trade stand for several months prior after all 2006 went very well.
