This was one of the big successes of the venue the last couple of years!
The refectory was open all day, selling tea, coffee, and soft drinks.
They also put on breakfast rolls and stuff in the morning, they did a couple of great choices for lunch, and then on both evenings ran a massively popular barbecue - And we're all looking forward to some more of that!
There is a "Subway" and a couple of pubs within very easy walking distance of the venue, so there are plenty of other options if you fancy a leg-stretch, but you'll find it difficult to tear yourselves away from the friendly gaming atmosphere.
Of course, you are welcome to bring your own soft drinks and cold food (sandwiches, etc) with you. There are nice large tables in the refectory where you'll be able to sit and eat (as well as play games)
Costs
The costs per person for The Cast are Dice 2013 are as follows:
Advanced Bookings
Weekend Ticket: £15
One-Day Ticket: £8
"On the Door" Costs:
Weekend Ticket: £20
One-Day Ticket: £10
Included in this ticket price is:
- Use of the games tables (obviously)
- Unlimited use of the Games Library
- Name badge, including BGG avatar & "geekbadge", if appropriate (and if the tickets are booked in advance)
- Free "door prize" on arrival for all advanced weekend bookings **
- Anything else that we might think of later ....
** - We are going to have some sort of prize for everyone who books a weekend ticket in advance. These will all be games provided by any excess ticket money, as well as by Shire Games and our many other generous sponsors. For fairly obvious reasons, the largest percentage of these giveaways will be smaller games, and they will be awarded tombola-style as people arrive, so the people who arrive earlier will have a greater choice from whichever category they draw "out of the hat".
Please note, we do not intend to make any money out of the convention. Once the number of registrations passes a certain point, we will have recouped the cost of hosting the event. After that point, all ticket money will be re-invested in prizes and giveaways.
