Early Council of Five Nations Info

Submitted by DC on Thu, 07/09/2009 - 22:02. ()
Hello Northeast Gamers,

About 1,400 of you have either already received or will soon receive a bright orange postcard from us.  Orange is the color of Autumn, and of Council of Five Nations.

It happens every year around this time; the Schenectady Wargamers Association starts cranking up the Council of Five Nations machinery once again.  This year will be our 32nd Council, one of the longest-running Adventure Gaming conventions in the world.  Please block-off October 9, 10 & 11 on your calendars.

We also now have preliminary Council info up on our web site.  Here are the highlights.


COUNCIL NEEDS GAME MASTERS
No game convention can exist without folks like you volunteering to run games, and we're no exception.  We'll have somewhere between 125-150 events this year, and it'll take a lot of GMs to make that happen.  Maybe you?

We offer some sweet incentives:  Free entry to the con and a special GMs-only T-shirt (last year's was black, this year will probably be some other color that goes nicely with the gold embroidered logo).

If you're interested in running a game for us, you can find all the details here:


We really, really need your events by Sunday, July 26th so we can get the pre-reg material out nice and early this year.  Please don't procrastinate - get those events in now.



HOTEL LODGINGS
We've got your hotel options lined up and ready to go.  We have a special web page set up with all the info:

Make your reservations now!



NEW FOR 2009 - TOUR OF SARATOGA BATTLEFIELD
The Battle of Saratoga (1777) is often cited as the turning point of the American War of Independence (summaries here and here). Of special interest to our Historical enthusiasts, we have arranged for a private group tour of the Saratoga battlefield (click here for web site). This will happen during the afternoon of Friday, October 9th, the first day of the convention. We'll get you back in time for the 7pm events. The cost is $10 per person.  We are not doing this to make money; we just want to provide this unique opportunity to interested Council attendees. Please click here for the web page we've set up for the Council of Five Nations outing to the Saratoga Battlefield:



GENERAL COUNCIL INFO
The main Council info page is a hub of all the information you need to attend Council of Five Nations.  It is the page that will be updated the most frequently.  You can always find it here:


Check it often for the latest updates on Council of Five Nations XXXII.


We hope to see all of you this October.
